Public Space as a Prototype

14:45 - 15:15

La Centrale

Architecture does not have to be monumental or permanent to leave its mark. It can be flexible, temporary, and open to transformation. Rocío Pina, co-founder of ENORME Studio in Madrid, takes to the stage at Utopian Hours to demonstrate how the activation of physical spaces fosters social cohesion.

ENORME works across strategic design, interactive installations and participatory urban planning: urban prototypes, temporary pavilions and movable street furniture that redefine the boundaries of public space and become meeting places. This demonstrates how, when space is co-designed with residents, people cease to be mere spectators and become active stewards of their neighbourhood. A must-see lesson on flexibility as a core value of urban design.
