ECObox
Description:
This process began by establishing a temporary garden constructed out of recycled materials. The garden, called ECObox, has been extended into a platform for urban criticism and creativity, which is curated by the AAA members, residents and external collaborators and which catalyses activities at a local and trans-local level.
Goals:
To encourage residents to get access to and critically transform temporary misused or underused spaces.
Beneficial Outcomes:
Offering the inhabitants the chance to occupy an abandoned space and transform it into a participatory garden and a place for debate.
