@Square Nine
Crowd Sourced CityLocation: MIT Campus, Cambridge MA
Crowd Sourced City Workshop, MIT Spring 2019
In Collaboration with Vanessa Barragan, Hadley Piper and Victor Wu
What makes a successful public space? @SQ9 was a pop-up event organized by MIT Class 11.458, Crowd Sourced City: Civic Tech Prototyping, that sought to measure how physical interventions can activate and improve public space. From May 7th to May 10th, the plaza in front of MIT Building 9 was transformed by furniture, paint, and plants. Throughout the week, sensors were used to collect data in order to provide analysis on best practices for public space programming.
Based on tactical urbanism principles, the site intervention was based on different ways spaces can be activated for public use.
