Re-ACT by design: The Construction Site

Re-ACT by design: Commons is the general theme of this years' International Design Week. During this week, students from Interior Design, Architecture, Fine Arts, and Product Development work together on an interdisciplinary project. Our project is called The Construction Site.

​

Can the construction site become a collective spectacle? Can it nourish a bond between large-scale infrastructure and small-scale communities? Can the excitement of building evoke a positive reaction again? Ever since the Tower of Babylon, participation processes and the construction site seem to share a troubled relationship. But maybe we can try again? And the story has a happy ending?
