Réinventer l'agora : donner la parole pour rendre l'espace public. Analyse de dispositifs d'intervention en design écosocial et culturel

Abstract

Public Art, by investing the urban space, covers different practices that have in common to be part of a social and political dimension. Faced with the growing privatization of public space, Malte Martin, designer and urban scenographer aims in his interventions to make the public space by giving voice to its users. He thus proposes to revisit the agora as a positive urban ideal in its contemporary forms. Based on a recent interview with this creator and the analysis of his projects, this article aims to show how the modalities put in place in these collaborative devices lead to an increase in skills and an emancipation of the users. It generates the production of new common goods in the line of an ecosocial design.
