The intention of the project was to work closely with a local youth hub in Copenhagen, creating a series of interventions in the public space for the youth of Nordvest, facilitating empowerment and renegotiating their territory in the greater community.

Small scale architectural interventions and 1:1 prototypes have the strategic potential to avoid planning, approval and development processes. Intervening at this scale, we can move faster than the process of gentrification itself, using objects as spatial instigators and catalysing the positive development of the area.

As designers working within the development of Nordvest, the major objective is to find ways to relieve social tensions and to build new social relations of trust and cooperation.
