urban construct(ion)




the urban construct/ion project took place in a vulnerable neighbourhood in the hague, together with several designers we took up the challenge to design furniture for a flat, a neighbourhood kitchen and a neighbourhood garden to bring the neighbours closer together

during these periods we got to know the neighbourhood better, we played with the children and occasionally made things together, we ate together with the neighbours, this way we found out what the neighbourhood needed and that's how we got to work

we only used discarded wooden pallets, which we collected and took apart ourselves to make new objects in a very primitive workshop without professional tools 

during this project, i saw once again how important communication is, between neighbours, designers and client, which did not always run smoothly, but it was certainly an interesting and successful project in which i participated for a total of eight weeks
