The article presents a multidisciplinary workshop format to enforce dialogue between the disciplines of art, design and media in audiovisual ethnographical study of urban environment and its design. The City Sets workshop uses the metaphor of ‘city as stage’ in order to investigate critically and expressively the design elements, visual languages and narratives embedded in cities. By a multiple point-of-view audiovisual production, the participants aim to reveal narratives that define our roles on the 'stage'. In the follow-up essay writing, they consider the significance of their own artistic point of view to urban planning and design values that surround us. Reviewing the theoretical backdrop and results from the first experimental workshop in 2010, we present developments for the next workshops organized in the context of the Aalto University World Design Capital Helsinki 2012 programme in Helsinki and Paris. We argue that artistic observations through multiple narrative points of view enrich the understanding of our life in urban environment, as well as the role of design in it.

Abstract
The article presents a multidisciplinary workshop format to enforce dialogue between the disciplines of art, design and media in audiovisual ethnographical study of urban environment and its design. The City Sets workshop uses the metaphor of ‘city as stage’ in order to investigate critically and expressively the design elements, visual languages and narratives embedded in cities. By a multiple point-of-view audiovisual production, the participants aim to reveal narratives that define our roles on the 'stage'. In the follow-up essay writing, they consider the significance of their own artistic point of view to urban planning and design values that surround us. Reviewing the theoretical backdrop and results from the first experimental workshop in 2010, we present developments for the next workshops organized in the context of the Aalto University World Design Capital Helsinki 2012 programme in Helsinki and Paris. We argue that artistic observations through multiple narrative points of view enrich the understanding of our life in urban environment, as well as the role of design in it.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
