What if…/ Venice Biennale
"Produced by award winning Edinburgh based architecture and design practice 7N Architects, in partnership with Architecture & Design Scotland, What if…? / Scotland seeks to re-engage the civic role of design professionals by asking communities from across Scotland to share their hopes and dreams for the future of the places they call home.
Originally designed to be staged in Venice as part of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, the exhibition responds to the Biennale’s theme How will we live together?"
Months later, I was then interviewed by Scotland + Venice as part of their article ''What if…?/Dundee – what happened next?'' to ask my own opinion of the task and what I think could come of it.
''I wish...
For more activities for families to partake in together in the local area. Working with creativity and the environment.
What if...?
A building with classes focused on making memories, building imagination and aiding creativity.
Description
As a mother of two kids, X described a lack of social spaces and more creative- focused classes for kids and teenagers in the local area.
Ideas included classes for parents and children. This would ease anxieties for parents who often need to leave their kids by themselves at classes and helps children settle into an unknown environment. These classes included Upcycling (as shown), which would be with items donated by the community. The classes would aid in building imagination/problem-solving skills whilst providing practical recycling skills. An important aspect added through gardening classes to get kids interested in the local environment and flora.''
