11 Architectural model<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Architectural models are artefacts that represent public space as close to reality as possible. They are ideally built together with the local community. Compared to maps, draw\u00adings or images, archi\u00adtec\u00adtur\u00adal models are time-con\u00adsuming to build, but they are the most effective way to communicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build the model<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create the model together with the local community in
an open construction workshop in the neighbourhood, if possible. This is a great way to attract and engage passers-by. Contact local associations; they might pro\u00advide you with recycled materials. The model should be customisable, robust, light and modular (e.\u2009g. use light wood and\u2009\/\u2009or cardboard). Use geographical databases (e.\u2009g. OpenStreetMap, Google Satellite images) and on-site observations to identify the dimensions of the space and its representative elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balance abstraction vs. reality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Architectural models can be too abstract for the users
of public spaces. Therefore, you need to find the right balance between an abstract and a realistic representa\u00adtion of space. The aim is to show the existing situation and elabo\u00adrate scenarios for improvement.
Cinema sets that present the public space as defined by facades (since there is no need to represent entire houses) are a great source of inspiration. Integrating familiar, easily-recognisable objects (e.\u2009g. miniature cars)
and items from public space will make your model realis\u00adtic. This will trigger the imagination of the participants and allow them to adopt a critical stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the model in the co-design process<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a co-design workshop, the model facilitates a well-focused debate (Andersen\u2009&\u2009Mosleh, 2020; Glackin\u2009
& Dionisio, 2016) and helps participants to visualise and discuss conflicting activities occurring in the public space.
Consequently objects (e.\u2009g. cars, benches and trees) in the model should be moveable, to allow changes. If possible, carry out several co-design workshops in the same public space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is it for<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users of a public space<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does it work<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The model built together with the local community enhances interaction with passers-by in a public space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why, what for<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It helps people visualise their aspirations and concerns related to a public space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who can do it and what do you need for it<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competences<\/strong>: skills for handling basic construction tools; facilitation skills
Materials<\/strong>: a space for the workshop, light wood\u2009\/\u2009card\u00adboard, a printed map of the public space, whiteboard; plaster and paint to create urban furniture (for children)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At what phase in a planning process<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After completing the site-diagnostic\u2009\/\u2009at the start of the co-design phase<\/p>\n\n\n\n
