About this Event
Participants will imagine and design new outdoor play spaces for Barcelona’s neighbourhoods.
Step into the role of an architect and urban planner and discover how shared spaces are designed. Through hands-on creative activities, this workshop invites children, families and older adults to collectively imagine new outdoor play spaces for their communities.
Participants will learn basic design and representation techniques, transform their ideas into visual proposals and explore how to create more inclusive, accessible and engaging public spaces. The workshop encourages dialogue across generations, bringing together youthful imagination and lived experience.
The activity is conceived and facilitated by architect Muhammad Achour, founder of Places of ARcture, with support from Diana Tchamitchian Tayara, who will provide live interpretation between English and Catalan throughout the session.
Places of ARcture is an Ireland-based social enterprise that promotes the use of art and architecture as tools for community participation and social transformation through creative and collaborative processes.
Important: Children must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or responsible adult throughout the workshop.
Organizers: Places of ARcture
