Social interaction is critical to the physical and intellectual well-being of a functioning democracy. The excessive influence of technology and lack of urban design and planning’s attention to pedestrian experience has caused our interactions to become more private, isolated, and mostly virtual. The following project presents the product of a design-build studio which uses adaptive/Kinetic systems to generate a creative solution to this social problem. Specifically, it will showcase the efforts of students working on a Parklet project, repurposing urban space to advance local business ethics and social justice issues. The Parklet replaces a parking space, fostering increases in social connections, public vibrancy, and support for local businesses. To move beyond schematic design, and offer students an experiment in real-world design issues, this studio provided a hands-on atmosphere for collaborative and consensus design experience, learning-by-doing, detailing challenges, and offsite construction strategies. It was structured to promote lessons in collaboration, construction detailing and process, and adaptive design, including working with city officials to meet code and zoning regulations. Since the project’s site is located in a neighboring city, students prefabricated the pieces in school and shipped and assembled them on site in one day. The studio sought to promote CAAD education, teaching design, and construction, but also innovation and entrepreneurship, through computational technology. The pedagogical framework was defined around various considerations such as structural, functional, financial, aesthetical, technological, and collaboration with other disciplines such as structural engineering and construction management

The Relationship

Despite the fading cultural value as a Chinatown, the relationship of the society and its public space is a form of a natural phenomenon that is inseparable. The changing functions of public space in Malaysia were identified to decrease the quality of social and cultural activities in Petaling Street. Therefore, this study aims to explore urban public spaces as the main social driver in crating interaction in Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur. The relationship between attributes of the urban public space and visitor retention were analyzed in this study. In terms of social interaction, the user activities were interrelated with the sociability of the urban space. The questionnaire survey was selected as the main medium for data collection distributed to the visitors and locals within the Klang Valley who have visited Petaling Street Chinatown. A total of 150 respondents involved and the analysis shows that street furniture does affect their preferences in an urban public space. Furthermore, the time spent by respondents will increase depending on the external factors such as weather and aesthetics. On the other hand, the internal factor that contributes to the number of visitors in Petaling Street Chinatown is their accompanying traveler which in the context of a solo traveler, the street should be celebrated with vibrancy.

AbstractIn the paper patterns of social interaction are examined, as shaped by an inflow of new residents to an inner-city subarea characterized by a low socio-economic status and featuring ethnic homogeneity. The empirical material is derived from a set of semi-structured interviews conducted by the authors with the area’s inhabitants, and with representatives of local governance arrangement and initiatives. The analysis is based on the concepts of social hyper-diversity, social networks, the concept of place and the research on gentrification. Sub-categories of residents are distinguished by referring to both functional and emotional types of social relations they enter into. The findings point at the formation of networks of integrative nature, mostly such that are supported by the use of common urban space, across the social categories identified, but also to limits and obstacles to social integration, both general and those specific to the case study area.

FREE FAIR: interactions in an urban spaceFERIA LIBRE: interacciones en un espacio urbanoRESUMOUma feira livre é pensada do ponto de vista das interações e do uso do espaço urbano, a partir de observação participante e de entrevistas com frequentadores e feirantes. O objetivo é a compreensão das formas de interação social que ocorrem na feira, discutindo-se suas contribuições para a vivência do espaço urbano e da sociabilidade. Percebe-se que a feira, realizada em uma cidade média do estado do Rio de Janeiro, é importante como espaço de encontro entre moradores urbanos e agricultores. A feira se diferencia de outros comércios pela troca frequente de informações sobre alimentos entre agricultores e fregueses, pela flexibilidade na negociação de preços e pelo uso do espaço urbano como ambiente de trocas simbólicas e de lazer. A pessoalidade é uma característica importante desse evento, mas a feira não se caracteriza como um lugar de afirmação de identidades e relações que vão além do comércio. Sua importância, para além da busca de uma alimentação de qualidade, reside na contribuição à vivência positiva de um espaço urbano.Palavras-chave: Feira Livre; Espaço Urbano; Sociabilidade; Trocas Comerciais; Trocas Simbólicas.ABSTRACTA farmer’s fair is observed in this interactions and use of urban space, based on ethnographic observations and interviews with shoppers and merchants.
