2014 // SENSE YOUR CITY
The workshop aimed to interact with Ljubljana by challenging the citizens to use their senses. The challenge took the form of small design projects that would intervene with the regular city life. The workshop had an outcome of seven tangible projects, among which Human wall, Dinning by the river or The smell box. We noted the many narrow alleyways in Ljubljana, and the sensation of emerging from a tight space into a wider street or square, and we wanted to enhance this sensation. We made a wall of people behind a blanket which would hinder an easy passage for pedestrians. Ljubljana is dominated by the river, but in a particularly nice place there was a noticeable lack of resting spaces. We designed a table and two seats for the broad fence along the bank, to enable pleasant pauses at this location. The idea behind The smell box was to take all the smells of the market place and put them into one monumental box, with the aim of stirring people’s curiosity, as well as their senses. The attached chalk enabled people to communicate their experience at the box with others, in order to create a sense of community around the project.
