The Social Design Studio spruces up the city. Our new platform "Stadt aufmöbeln"
explores undiscovered potentials of urban furniture. It was developed in collaboration with city of Vienna’s administration
department MA19 (Architecture and Urban Design) and critical friends from all over the world, from Brussels to Bogota. Now
it is online:

Is urban furniture
just about sitting down or can it also contribute to new qualities of public space? How does urban furniture react to certain
places, environments and their qualities? Does it promote exchange between people? Can it create mutual respect in a neighbourhood?
Does it encourage participation and appropriation? Does it strenghten cohesion? Does it create new meeting places?
The
platform "Stadt aufmöbeln" explores the potentials of participation in the context of street furniture and presents ideas
on how to share agency and reclaim open spaces. The action research, international case studies, interviews, topic related
texts, videos and illustrations, experiments and projects are accessible here
