Great Street Games by KMA was a series of outdoor games, which turned simultaneously three different squares of Great Britain into playing fields. There were no pre-booked partecipants: thanks to the interactive light installations, curiosity drew people in and the public socialization started.
The world needs a bit of poetry. This is the sense of Pagina Bianca (Blank Page), a project by Artkitchen. It’s a public performance, that since 2009 has stained several Italian cities and people’s hands.
For Public Design Festival 2011 the Dutch designers Jair Straschnow and Wouter Nieuwendjik restyled the popular Panchina Circolare (“circular bench”) by esterni. The design object, an explicit invitation for people to socialize, introduces the newly-born brand esternidesign and will be soon ready to fill empty urban spaces all over the world.
