  • The brief of the competition requested the design of the entrance gate to a public park. The proposals had to relate public space with social media in order to relate the project to younger generations. The park is located in a neighborhood where new housing developments are planned to be built in the coming years, with new families settling in this part of the city.

    Instead of delivering a final design for the gate, our proposal consisted of organizing a new competition. This new competition would be held online on a platform developed by us where the current and new habitants of Jakobsberg could design their park by themselves. The platform, as the design of our board suggests, resembles a sticker set with which anyone, independent of their age or professional background, can design the park simply by arranging a collection of urban elements.

    The platform would be continuously updated, broadening the collection of stickers for the site's design elements. The proposals would then be shared on social networks for voting. Subsequently, the winning design proposal would be fully developed for construction.
