New Project:
Aim
This paper aims to introduce you to ways of rethinking current systems and notions of community and public space. This project examines the themes of koha, it addresses ideas of gift, of reciprocity and exchange and examines how design can contribute to wider community networks with the design of public space.
Context
Koha is a gift freely given. How can you acknowledge your clients or your collaborators or communities you have worked with through your creative work? How can you cement and nurture ongoing relationships through giving something back or giving something away (whether that be a physical object, or your time or expertise)? How might you celebrate the outcomes for all parties involved?
Project
In groups you will explore and develop a community-enabled project based on the new Massey University Wellington Campus Master Plan, proposing a design for new public space.
You are to explore the open space in front of Tussock’s current environment, examine what works and what does not. You will investigate ways to rethink notions of community and public space and develop a spatial concept that creates a new sense of place.
