As we bring our Arts at MacPherson 2018 to a close, we hosted a celebratory cookout with our various community partners, artists, volunteers and photographers as a way to say our thanks. It has been a pleasure working with and getting to know everybody along our Arts at MacPherson journey. We truly appreciate the time, talent, energy and effort poured into the projects. ⁣ ⁣ Onwards to Arts at MacPherson 2019! ⁣ ⁣ #designingwithpeople #participateindesign #letsparticipatesg #artsatmacpherson
#WorkoftheWeek — Bird Nest⁣ ⁣ The Bird Nest is a birdhouse sculpture Thomas Dambo built in a workshop at a nursing home in Aarhus. Together with 7th grade students from a local school, the residents at the nursing home and Thomas Dambo painted 100 birdhouses made from scrapwood. After the workshop, Thomas and turned the birdhouses into an installation — a unique bench that the residents could use to sit around together or with visitors. ⁣ ⁣ Since 2006, Thomas has made and put up more than 3500 birdhouses in different shapes and colours all over the world. All of his birdhouses are made from recycled materials and scrapwood.⁣ ⁣ To read more about Bird Nest and other projects by Thomas Dambo, click this link here: http://www.thomasdambo.com ⁣ ⁣ #designingwithpeople #participateindesign #letsparticipatesg #workoftheweek
Dutch design duo Haas&Hahn like to ask big questions. Chalk Carpet, which they did for a film festival in Utrecht, Netherlands, was interestingly done together with a team of refugees whom they brought from Amsterdam to complete the piece. While they were working on it, the team was able to interact with passerby and have conversations about where they came from and how they ended up there — allowing them to be seen as more than just numbers. “Part of the big attraction of the artwork is that it can put a human face on both sides of the discussions and get people in touch with each other.” ⁣ ⁣ Not only has their work — which can sometimes be seen from miles away — revitalised its surroundings, but it’s also enhanced people’s relationships to their neighbourhoods by giving them a chance to do everything — from choosing the colours, to actually decorating the surfaces.⁣ ⁣ To read more about Chalk Carpet and other amazing projects by Haas&Hahn, click this link here: https://haasandhahn.com ⁣ ⁣ #designingwithpeople #participateindesign #letsparticipatesg #workoftheweek
Participatory design and planning has gained interest on the ground for the last couple of years and we are grateful that we get to do the work that we do here at P!D⁣ ⁣ To give back to the community, we will be running a #WordoftheWeek on our social media platforms from next Friday onwards.

Call for Volunteers! ⁣ ⁣ We are looking for workshop facilitators to engage senior citizens for The Future of Transport Workshop Engagement on 24 April, Wednesday at Pacific Activity Centre, Compassvale Ancilla from 1.30PM — 4.30PM. ⁣ ⁣ The workshop aims to gather feedback as well as emotions from senior citizens with regards to a driverless vehicle. We hope to understand the challenges older adults face while using the current public transport and in what situations would they need to communicate with staff. ⁣ ⁣ For more details and to sign up to be a workshop facilitator, click the link in our bio!⁣ ⁣ This project is in collaboration with TUM CREATE Ltd., a research platform for the improvement of Singapore’s public transportation. ⁣ ⁣ #designingwithpeople #participateindesign #letsparticipatesg
#WorkoftheWeek — The Edible Hut⁣ ⁣ The Edible Hut is a community gathering space in Calimera Park on the eastside of Detroit with a living, edible roof and oculus to the sky. The Edible Hut combines elements of a traditional hut, an outdoor sculpture, a neighbourhood garage and an edible garden. The roof is a garden of edible plants such as sage, thyme, lavender and oregano.⁣ ⁣ Creating the hut is a collaborative process that includes a team of artists, architects, community members, youths from the neighbourhood and teachers as well as students from the Nsoroma Institute and Osborn High School. ⁣ ⁣ The community uses the collaborative space to hold performances such as hip-hop or jazz, conduct community meetings and outdoor classes. The Edible Hut is a space for cultivating an overall sense of well-being in the neighbourhood. ⁣ ⁣ Read more about The Edible Hut here: http://www.ediblehutdetroit.com ⁣ ⁣ #designingwithpeople #participateindesign #letsparticipatesg #workoftheweek
