T h e m a t i c O u t l i n e
Since only a few years, fast spreading, participatory platforms on the web have evoked a major shift into the realm of social media. Social media are often discussed today in relation to Web 2.0, which refers to a number of technical, economic, and social developments.The new social media platforms reveal the particular features of individual subcultures. Based on these recent developments, our application proposes to develop a strategic manual for social practices-oriented design in public space. New forms of public performance and social interplay are likely to appear, if we envision them to be fed by media-rich content created in an asynchronous, remote virtual manner in the everyday of public life. Customization and participation will be taken as key principles to initiate and enhance new self-organizing forms of public life. Public Space 2.0 – a proposition for a manual to enhance creative urban experience.
