For <a href=\"http:\/\/www.futur-en-seine.fr\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Futur en Seine<\/a>, a \u201cborder\u201d area linking the city of Paris and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seine-saint-denis.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">93 (Neuf Trois)<\/a> \u201cbanlieue\u201d was predefined as the target area for redevelopment by young, international designer teams. The challenge was indeed ambitious \u2013 to design a \u201cgateway\u201d or \u201cbridge\u201d from the suburbs to the city centre and vice versa, which is natural, aesthetically balanced and inclusive.<\/p>\n<p>The area that was chosen to be \u2018redesigned\u2019 is in the commune of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ville-pantin.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pantin<\/a> in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seine-saint-denis.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seine-Saint-Denis (93<\/a>) department.

Inhabitants of Pantin are approached by the local government through various media \u2013 newspapers, local radio, pamphlets, emails, sms, etc \u2013 to create an account on the \u2018Plantin Pantin\u2019 social network. There they can choose the flower of their liking and place it on a digital map of Pantin. What happens next is that a plant is actually physically planted \u2013 in real life &#8211; in exactly the specified location. In this sense, a digital and physical contact is established between the citizen and local government, and, at the same time, the environment is improved! Each time a plant is actually planted the user receives an SMS or email informing him or her. The digital interface could also prove useful to check the effectiveness of the program. The program will also monitor the plants development and keep users informed. The main aim of the project is to show people they can participate by using digital tools. It could also be extended to other kinds of participation and street maintenance. The city should be directly involved in order to give a strong sign of commitment to the citizens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018HYPERCITY\u2019 <\/strong>&#8211; Team <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strate.education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">StrateSchool of Design<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gobelins.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">les Gobelins<\/a> 1, Paris FR<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/chloepayot.daportfolio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Chlo\u00e9 Payot<\/a>,\u00a0Clement Bourdet,\u00a0Alexandre Pawlak,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.21h42.fr\/en\/work\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pierre Thirion<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.francoischay.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fran\u00e7ois Chay<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/poblete.fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thomas Poblete<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cceu.webtic.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ESDC2011_91.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-169\" title=\"ESDC2011_9\" src=\"http:\/\/cceu.webtic.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ESDC2011_91.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"570\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ESDC2011_91.jpg 570w, https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ESDC2011_91-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ESDC2011_91-500x184.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Design proposition:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe project proposed to create an organic path inspired by natural elements growing in Pantin. To do so they rely on a network of connected \u201chubs\u201d to be found in the urban space. Each hub is a video and sound station providing approaching users with information about the place they are in and other interesting spots nearby, and leads to several different paths. In the case of Pantin the hub network is combined with other elements such as a fiber optic sculpture, serving as a digital metaphor of elements that characterize its surroundings. Following the hub, users experience a local adventure, learning to look at the city in a different way. Users may also generate content which can then be made available through the hubs. The same network could be extended to other areas of the city<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018PARIS, JE TE TRAV\u00c8RS\u2019 <\/strong>\u2013 Team Eindhoven NL &#8211;\u00a0<strong>Honorary Mention<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.knol-ontwerp.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Celine Malefijt<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.knol-ontwerp.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jorien Kemerink<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/showcase.ekeler.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bastiaan Ekeler<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jensgijbels.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jens Gijbels<\/a>,\u00a0Midas Mentink<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cceu.webtic.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ESDC2011_101.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-170\" title=\"ESDC2011_10\" src=\"http:\/\/cceu.webtic.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ESDC2011_101.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"570\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ESDC2011_101.jpg 570w, https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ESDC2011_101-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ESDC2011_101-500x184.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Design proposition:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe group proposes to create a digital system able to collect images by means of video cameras, installed in various spaces of the city, equally distributed between the suburbs and the centre. The moving images collected are then transferred to a \u201cbroadcasting\u201d system in the metro system, that will make them visible to travelers through screens and projections.\u00a0 At each station the incoming train \u201cbroadcasting\u201d system gathers images sent by video cameras outside and around the station, to then project them inside the station, the train and the tunnel. The Metro becomes a portal to the underground, injecting impressions from the real world into the system. The trains carry the flow of images along their movement through the city. In this context, a physical and virtual \u201cbridge\u201d is created between the metro travelers below and the \u201creal\u201d world above.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018RAINBOWS\u2019 &#8211; <\/strong>Team <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stratecollege.fr\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strate <\/a>School of Design\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gobelins.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">les Gobelins<\/a> 2, Paris FR &#8211;\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seine-saint-denis.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Conseil G\u00e9n\u00e9ral de Seine-Saint-Denis<\/a> 1<sup>st<\/sup> Prize<\/strong><br \/>\nPantez Salmassi,\u00a0Matthias Schmitt,\u00a0Julie Robert,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.epure.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B\u00e9atrice Lartigue<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/tobiasmuthesius.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tobias Muthesios<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/od1.fr\/book_datadesign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nicolas Guichard<\/a>,\u00a0Laure-Anne Puijalon<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cceu.webtic.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ESDC2011_112.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-171\" title=\"ESDC2011_11\" src=\"http:\/\/cceu.webtic.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ESDC2011_112.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"570\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ESDC2011_112.jpg 570w, https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ESDC2011_112-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/ESDC2011_112-500x184.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Design proposition:<\/strong><br \/>\nTheir idea is to multiply symbolically the frontiers in order to make the already existing one less powerful. To do so they decided to work on the canal de l\u2019Ourq area, which constitutes a natural and historical connection, cutting through the \u201cfrontier\u201d between Pantin and Paris. They will use several bridges crossing the canal in order to create a series of bridge waterfalls (water sculptures). Using a simple hydraulic system and the water from the canal, the sculpture will be interactive since the movement and the choreography created with fallen water will be determined by passers-by interacting with a system of photocells. This spectacular installation, built with little investment on an already existing architecture, will make the place more desirable and fun for both residents and tourists.

Interactive sculptures are constructed, shaped as \u201cturning\u201d benches in different parts of Paris, combining suburbs and city centre. Each sculpture is connected to another one further away; if one user interacts with one bench, the other \u201cremote\u201d sculpture will also respond to the interaction involving whomever is sitting on or near it. The whole system is also connected via webcams, which allow Smartphone users to observe what is happening to the \u201cother\u201d sculpture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aim The first European Street Design Challenge at PICNIC in September 2010 succeeded in embodying the main international aims of Futur en Seine: to unite international creatives, designers, festivals and cities in creating a strong and shared vision of an &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/?page_id=77\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":311,"parent":1006,"menu_order":5,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"sidebar-page.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-77","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/77","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=77"}],"version-history":[{"count":31,"href":"https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/77\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1291,"href":"https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/77\/revisions\/1291"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1006"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/311"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/streetchallenge.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=77"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
