Three Ways of Doing:A Collaborative Design Workshop to create streets for everyone

urbz, in collaboration with @chaal.chaal.agency and @_resdochao_, hosted a collaborative symposium on Friday, November 15th, showcasing our recent projects and exploring diverse methodologies in participatory urbanism.

The event brought together practitioners from various architectural backgrounds to examine and challenge conventional approaches to public space design.

The program began with presentations highlighting our organizations' distinct co-design approaches and commitment to community engagement. Speakers emphasized the importance of understanding community needs and aspirations while deconstructing traditional architectural narratives.

Following the presentations, participants engaged in a hands-on design workshop, reimagining street spaces through collaborative exercises. Using simple materials—stationery and newspaper cuttings—teams co-created visual representations of inclusive public spaces. The workshop demonstrated how creative constraints can spark innovative solutions for inclusive urban design.

The event concluded with a critical discussion where practitioners from all three organizations shared their experiences, sources of inspiration, and strategies for navigating policy challenges in participatory urban design.

This exchange offered valuable insights into the practical realities of community-centered architecture.This engaging and insightful event marks the beginning of an ongoing dialogue about participation in urban spaces.

We invite you to join us for future workshops and discussions. Follow us on social media to stay updated on upcoming events and projects!
