Abstract

This paper presents the design and manufacturing of a large-scale physical model of a historical street for participatory design purposes. The physical model, grounded in architectural representation and developed using state-of-the-art digital technologies, presents a form of interaction that usually lacks in similar artefacts, and - as far as we can tell - it may be the first of this kind. In fact, the model allows people to write, draw and share their memories and stories directly on the facades; hence the model connects architectural representation and narrative, and stimulates collective conversations
