Abstract

The paper is based on an ongoing research that aims at studying the forms of design interventions for engaging the public in the context of revitalizing urban public places. First, it introduces briefly the notion of the production of urban places, and designing for a humane-scale perspective, tackling issues of narratives and experience for encouraging participation. Then, the design intervention -- Animato is introduced; it illustrates the design elements selected and the actual participation by people. Finally, the paper briefly presents the interrelation of design elements employed in the intervention to four levels of participation; motivational, physical, intellectual, and emotional.
