Today's workshop on increased provision of teachin Today's workshop on increased provision of teaching-outside-the-classroom for DIS - Study Abroad in Scandinavia faculty was done online due to Covid-19 precautions 😷 It is of course sad to miss out on the joy we get from the physical presence of other people. That said, it is inspiring to see how many people work hard to make the best out of a difficult situation. E.g. the willingness to discuss new ways of moving classroom activities out under open air. #outdooreducation #designingcitieswithpeople #DIS #education #outdoorlearning #schooloutside
Last Friday at the arki_lab office, we had our fir Last Friday at the arki_lab office, we had our first Feminist Salon where we invited our dear friend @ditteeee. In her PhD “Becoming Urban: Critical explorations of the co-production of people and places” Ditte challenges how we work with the urban and we are happy to have learned from her insights! 🔸 Acknowledge overlapping categories of gender, ethnicity, class, etc. when working with urban challenges 🔸 Remember that the urban is constantly (re)negotiated by relations of power - even at the micro levels of everyday life 🔸 The people using urban space are constructing it! They hold a very important role when working with the urban 🔸 Always remember your own position as researcher, architect or designer in the spaces you are working with #inclusivecities #criticalthinking #designingcitieswithpeople #feminisme #arki_lab
Today, along the shoreline of Sydney’s Royal Bot Today, along the shoreline of Sydney’s Royal Botanic Garden, a neverending concrete wall is blocking the presence of the ocean. Our second entry in the Sydney Public Space Idea Competition (https://sydney.org.au/psic/), “The Woccanmagully* Steps”, is a wooden platform that seeks to reestablish the lost connection between the Botanic Garden and the ocean. Our design is composed of jumbo wooden stairs, that allow visitors to engage with the waterfront and strengthens the connection between the green and blue elements. The design concept focuses on complementing the existing space and slowing the pace, allowing people to take a break and enjoy the view. *Woccanmagully = the indigenous name for the Farm Cove that represents the shallow bay on the southern shore of Sydney Harbour, east of Sydney Cove. The flat land nearby was used by Aboriginal people as an initiation ground, and later became the first farm for the European colony. #greatpublicspaces #reimaginesydney #placemaking #publicspace #waterfront #botanicalgarden #tacticalurbanism #codesign #sydney #arki_lab
What does your tomorrow look like? We have answer What does your tomorrow look like? We have answered this question through the Public Space Idea Competition in Sydney  https://sydney.org.au/psic/ . Our design proposal, PlayBox, will support the local community’s needs and aspirations and serve as a catalyst for community activity for Ewen Park on the Cooks River. The location is one of the few large parks on the Cooks River offering views and enough space for people to gather. Abandoned tennis courts have furnished the park for too long with many people only visiting Ewen Park as they cycle or walk past as it is the important junction of the GreenWay and the Cooks River cycle paths. PlayBox can facilitate different activities for all ages, though infinite possibilities and combinations, bringing together the diverse community. The project is initiated by the Cooks River Change Makers (Cooks River Alliance) and arki_lab Sydney.
