Color as a Catalyst for Placemaking
Wednesday September 23, 2026 11:45am - 5:30pm CEST
Teki - Miasteczko Studenckie "Wittigowo" Politechniki Wrocławskiej
Color on streets and asphalt-covered spaces can transform how people feel, move, and connect—turning overlooked areas into places of belonging and everyday use. This project builds on hands-on experience in designing playful, functional street graphics. With large-scale graphics, we demonstrate how simple visual design can unlock new forms of public life.
A key component of placemaking is co-creation. In this on-site workshop, participants can actively shape the graphics, turning a basketball court in Wrocław into a shared canvas. Together, we will create a unique visual design while strengthening a sense of ownership and care.
Tested, sustainable temporary colours allow for quick, adaptable, and reversible interventions. At the basketball court in student housing (Teki – Miasteczko Studenckie “Wittigowo” Politechniki Wrocławskiej), close to the Festival Area, participants can experiment with colour and design in real time, transforming the space together.
Whether in car-free streets, schoolyards, parks, or sports areas, the project demonstrates how colour, combined with participation, can become a powerful tool for placemaking—creating playful, inclusive spaces that support cycling, movement, social exchange, and community life.
