1- PARTICIPATORY PROCESSES

1- Previous experiences on participatory processes

- BARCODE HOUSING SYSTEM (2005-09) - Participation of dwellers in the configuration of their housing units (layout, materials)

- OIKODOMOS (2012): Plus Ultra Neighbourhood - Participatory analysis of urban environments: building sense of identity, collaboration

between neighbours and students

- OIKONET (2013/14): El Born Project, with Sostre Cívic - Designing communication tools and participatory methods in a co-housing project


1 -PARTICIPATORY PROCESSES BARCODE HOUSING SYSTEM

BARCODE HOUSING SYSTEM is composed of interwoven working spaces: - PROJECT DEVELOPMENT. - HOUSING UNIT LAYOUTS. - HOUSING UNIT CONFIGURATION. Occupants describe their housing program - HOUSING UNITS ASSEMBLY. - HOUSING UNITS SPECIFICATIONS. - BUILDING INFORMATION MODEL.


1- PARTICIPATORY PROCESSES BARCODE HOUSING SYSTEM

Two strategies were proposed:

• Image Elicitation, through interactions with BCHS design interfaces.

• Conceptual Maps, through interactions with BCHS design interfaces.

During the academic year 2010 to 2011, four European Architecture Schools have joined the OIKODOMOS Virtual Campus. Our goal is to enhance this network with new members which are able to actively collaborate in the design and implementation of shared learning activities.

We found that residents of Barcelona's Plus Ultra district had long been discussing,

with the local authorities, the future of their neighbourhood, being an area with a

distinctive character and history which had become isolated after being

surrounded by new developments.

This was an appropriate scenario for students to get involved with the community

in finding solutions to socially conflictive problems dealing with the living

environment.

It was also an opportunity to create learning scenarios which went beyond the

limits of the academia, both in the formulation of the problem and in the

implementation of the learning activities which took place not only in the

classroom but also in the premises (both physical and virtual) of the neighbour’

associations.

Two strategies to apply in the participatory space of the Plus Ultra project were

proposed:

•Observation of the behavioural patterns of the people in the neighbourhood.

• Dialogue with the residents through meetings, interviews and surveys.

PARTICIPATORY STRATEGIES



• Students and citizens engaged themselves in a common study on the value and

significance of dwelling in our contemporary societies.

• Students –guided by their tutors– helped neighbours to externalize and

communicate their views, perceptions, and experiences about their dwellings and their

lives in the neighborhood.

• In this situated learning context, students play the role of mediators between the

neighbors and the city administrators by creating the conditions that favored dialogue

between them.

LEARNING SCENARIO



A series of learning activities which involve both students and citizens were

designed specifically with the following purposes:

• To collect first hand information from the inhabitants regarding the

perceptions and experiences of their living environment

• To provide neighbors with the appropriate methods and tools to express

and communicate their perceptions of their living environment

• To promote citizens’ participation in the urban planning process

PEDAGOGIC TASKS



•Approaching people: interviews, recorded conversations with neighbors.

•Identifying places: finding out where neighbours carried out their daily

activities in public space.

•Collecting stories: collecting memories and experiences

•Representing a dwelling: neighbours were asked to describe verbally and

graphically their domestic space.

LEARNING ACTIVITIES



APPROACHING PEOPLE



COLLECTING STORIES



IDENTIFYING PLACES



REPRESENTING A DWELLING

ELICITING/COMMUNICATING KNOWLEDGE









A participatory process in environmental analysis has become a learning experience

for all of those involved:

•Citizens learned about their environment through the processes designed and

implemented by students and teachers

• Students acquired a direct knowledge of the place –in all its dimensions, urban,

social and cultural– while they developed their skills as mediators and facilitators

• Teachers acted as learning designers, creating a blended learning space which

integrates the academic activities with the living environment, physical and

digital learning spaces

PARTICIPATORY PROCESSES EL BORN – SOSTRE CIVIC


OIKONET: EL BORN – SOSTRE CIVIC 1 -DESIGN OF PARTICIPATORY PROCESSES


OIKODOMOS 4th International Workshop, Istanbul Technical University, May

Levels/Phases:

1. Design of participatory processes: methods and tools

2. Implementation of the processes with the participation of citizens and

students

3. Evaluation of inputs obtained in the participatory session

4. Re-design of participatory processes: new methods and tools

5. Implementation of the processes with the participation of citizens and

students

6. Creating a design brief based on answers from participants

PEDAGOGIC TASKS

1 -DESIGN OF PARTICIPATORY PROCESSES



Activity 1: DESCRIBE your experience on the domestic space What do you like the most about your current living environment? What do you like the less about your current living environment?

1 -DESIGN OF PARTICIPATORY PROCESSES



SOSTRE CIVIC / 15.01.2014

Activity 2: IMAGINE your ideal living space You will get photographs which convey certain feelings and ideas about domestic space. We will ask to choose some images which altogether represent your ideal living place and describe it in a few sentences.

2 - IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROCESSES

dining

WP 3: COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION WP 3 Community Participation- Meeting 1

4/5- Re-design and implementation of new processes

Activity 3: PLAN your future home– Part 1 You will first describe what activities make you feel at home. Then you will choose eight activities to place them in the diagram. The, you assign value to them, identify relations between them and describe them. Finally, you will locate the activities in space (inside, outside, in-between).





Activity 3: PLAN your future home– Part 2 First, you will choose some of the activities which are most relevant to you. Then, we will break-down the activity in actions taking place at different times and places. The actions will organized in space according to the importance you assign to them. Clusters of actions will be related.







6- Creating a design brief


SOSTRE CIVIC / 08.01.2014 6- Creating a design brief










2 - Proposals for community participatory actions

1. To find new case studies for the next semester (Oct 2014-Jan 2015) 2. To continue the research in the postgraduate programme (PhD thesis) 3. Collaboration with participatory actions in other settings: sharing

methods and tools, designing the activities in collaboration…… 4. Helping to create links between WP3 Community Participation and WP2

Research and WP4 Pedagogical Activities.

3 - Deliverables of WP3


1. Participatory actions: one has been already created. 2. Video production: producing videos of the participatory actions we

implement 3. Reporting: creating reports of the participatory actions we implement,

collaborating in the production of other reports

OIKONET is co-funded by the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Union 2013-16 Project number: 539369-LLP1-2013-1-ES-ERASMUS
