Guide to Open Places

http://www.open-places.com/about.php http://www.open-places.com/index.php

Do you know a place in a city...
...that is open for realising your own ideas? that allows multiple uses and programs? that is accessible for everybody? that is part of your everyday life? that you are able to utilise? that becomes alive through your action? where people come together?

Open Places set impulses, make a point and have effects. Even in regulated societies they provide niches of openness, freedom and self-determination. These places give a glimpse of what an Open City could be and look like. They are the spatial manifestation of the idea of coexistence...

inspring ideas cards


I am starting to put together some cards with inspring ideas on them- hopefully to get people thinking about future projects in the area and really to update/ build on the toolkit information. I intend to also put some blanks cards up so people can add to these ideas... I have kept text to an absolute minimum, but this does include a link so that people can find out more.
