TRANSFORM: URBAN TRANSFORMATION OF COLLECTIVE CREATION TO IMPROVE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT

TRANSFORM proposes performing a collectively-created urban action, including the artist, architects and those students of the high-school Institut Collserola involved in this residence. This urban action is meant to improve the environmental and/or social surrounding of this high-school. Therefore, this enhancement project should emerge from the conditions and knowledge of this territory (high-school, streets, neighbourhood…) and who knows better its strong and weak points, its dysfunctions, than its own inhabitants? Who can better think of a solution to its deficiencies and shortages?

Taking this reflection as our starting point, Lluís Sabadell Artiga and Ecosistema Urbano suggest a work process and a methodology leading to the creation of a self-inspired transformation mechanism. Thus, the artistic value of this project lies in the final result, as well as in the management of the collective creative potential. The final work shall be defined as the work stages develop: environmental analysis, selection of the sphere of action, definition and design of this project and project performance.
