Students' proposals • discussions

In the last segment of the workshop course students collected and synthesised all the knowledge and information gained in previous sessions – from theoretical knowledge and references to actual insights into the morphology of the location and surroundings, comprehensions of the kids' behaviours, parents and teachers opinions, and residents’ expectations – to deliberately and strategically plan the possible temporary interventions. Each group of students was encouraged to propose a viable and with limited means doable (student manpower, skills and know-how, limited budget, etc.) spatial intervention to strengthen the role and meaning of A.pla(y)ce, to amplify the ties with current and potential users and to integrate the proposed intervention in the existing geospatial context.

In doing so, students were led by mentors of ProstorRož and UL FA, as well as by invited critics, who reviewed the proposals several times to point out the possible drawbacks, claim potential enhancements, or make other suggestions.
