VISIONS FOR A SOCIAL CITY

BY PIA DRECHSEL AND EEVA CAMPBELL

We believe that inspiring through possibility is more powerful than highlighting problems. Design is our tool to make invisible possibilities into inspiring visions.

We ask:

What does our dream city feel like? And how can we visualize this dream? Especially when it is more about everyday interaction than flying cars. A city equally defined by physical space as by human interaction.

In this workshop, we will use design methods, communication strategy, and some serious play to create social visions to believe in.

You will come in with ideas of what you would change in the city. You will go out with a strong tool for getting people to believe in your ideas.

Take away:

An understanding of why project visions work

Practical design methods for fuzzy beginnings

Co-creation methods to focus multiple opinions

Visualisation techniques

A real statement and vision

Method cards of the methods used

What we will do:

We start by creatively reframing our definitions of a social city. In groups, we develop statements that clarify ideas, challenges or reasons. We then co-create ideas to connect people or open accessibility. And then we visualise these ideas. The result: strong messages through clear words and the fun of collage – inspiring visions born from a unification of purpose and play.
