PARTICIPATORY DESIGN METHODOLOGIES OF PUBLIC SPACE

Comparativa entre dos experiencias en proceso de integración socio urbana

Abstract

This paper reviews the participatory methodologies developed during the project of two public spaces located in areas of socio-urban integration. The research was based on a comparative case study between two experiences carried out between 2022 and 2023, the first located in Susana Quintela neighborhood of the city of La Rioja and the second in La Matera neighborhood, Quilmes, in the south of metropolitan area of ​​Buenos Aires. The bibliographical investigation exposed a series of vacancies related to the participatory design of public space, from which specific methodological questions were formulated for experiences in contexts of socio-urban integration. The hypothesis that guides the work states that participatory design allows an opportunity for coordination between multiple actors, essential for addressing complex problems such as the preservation, improvement, and articulation of public spaces.
