Artistic interventions for urban innovation
Comparing new forms of engagement in public space by two local initiatives
Abstract This article looks at artistic interventions as impulses for urban innovation. It investigates their ability to create the conditions for new forms of engagement, influence, rethink or enable new kinds of cooperation or experimental ideas to approach the urban context. Two examples are examined, focusing on their production and the emergence of new roles at the intersections of disciplines or in processes of co-creation. The architects and designers involved in this process become “intermediate actors”. Their doing shifts from creating spaces to creating experiences and new public interfaces where city-making and social engagement is re-imagined, discussed and tested. The artistic interventions selected show new formats established in or at the intersection with public space. As catalysts for transformation processes they contribute to an urban and cultural knowledge creation and address a shift of focus in approaches towards an urban context.
Highlights For opening new opportunities in the culture of city-making, external impulses are needed. Artistic interventions as catalysts for urban knowledge creation The examples presented show a new potential field of practice for the role of Architects and Urban Designers The interdisciplinarity of teams and disciplines presume creativity and urban innovation Shifting agency – from creating spaces to creating experiences
