‘S U P E R L A B’ Augustenstraße towards a community-led social lab

The Superlab is a community led social lab that double acts as a support platform to enable participatory planning and allow the community to together create their Superblock. We propose an organisational structure for the lab that is fun, social and practical, that helps in building friendships and kinship, that is democratic and deliberative, and one that is multidisciplinary and incorporates experts, businesses and students. We aim to create a people’s Superblock through a people’s Superblock that acts as a bridges between city government and local politics.

CHARACTERIZATION AND DIAGNOSIS PROCESS

The main objective of the research project was to generate a guide for the characterization and diagnosis of emerging agricultural communities, through a series of tools that will complement the model of the ACUNAR research group (research group of the National University of Colombia), for innovative development in agricultural production.

MODEL RESEARCH

The development of the toolkit, as well as the application model for a characterization and diagnosis process, incorporates elements from the IAP application methodologies, where the participation of the community, their knowledge, and their resources are necessary to guarantee a positive result. This guide for innovative development in the countryside was created with the agricultural community in Chipaque, a municipality in Colombia.

The characterization and diagnosis guide contains a plan of execution and an application of the design tools described within. This plan is the backbone of this process, and its correct application guarantees successful results. The objective of the methodological processes is an execution plan, created from a design approach, that will increase the competitiveness of agricultural producers through innovative development.

RESULT THE FINAL

The result of the research process is presented in a report that records the development and completion of the guide for the characterization and diagnosis process in agricultural communities. This guide contains the methodological process for the implementation of the recommended design tools. Likewise, each tool has a description, implementation process, a list of materials necessary for its application, and an example of the implementation made during the development process in the municipality of Chipaque. Most important, the guide contains the strategic vision plan that lists and prioritizes the actions needed to increase competitiveness from a design perspective.

INTERACTIONS NODES

The main subjects to consider in the design of the National Museum of Soils are grouped into three different nodes of interaction, centered on the users and their relations with the museum space. The first is architecture and the distribution of space; the second is the user’s experience within the graphic identity of the museum; the third is the user’s ability to interact with the analog and digital devices.

ARCHITECTURE Space distribution Illumination design Coverings and architectural finishes Ephemeral and permanent architecture. Museography Identity branding Educational program Soil monolith experience EXPERIENCE Interactive screens Color / texture interactions Augmented reality sandbox 360° photos in virtual reality. USER

A JOURNEY THROUGH THE SOILS

The reinterpretation of geography and edaphology through graphic elements aims to communicate the importance of soil in the development and survival of human life. Without losing the technical rigor, the theoretical contents are presented for a professional public, as well as children and general audiences, and illustrate the dynamics of the soils and their vital importance for ecosystems. We distributed the contents in the museum according to their difficulty, starting with basic knowledge such as the processes and relevant factors of soil formation at the entrance. It then advances to explain physical and chemical properties, so the public can understand the classes of soil present in the country and its physical representation through monoliths.

ARCHITECTURAL INTERVENTIONS

The renovation of architectural spaces included lifting the ceiling, plating the walls, and changing the floor. We also calculated the amount of light needed for the area of the room and selected the light sources and electrical adjustments needed for the internet network. The scope of the project included the design of furniture and ephemeral architecture according to the area of the museum and its spatial distribution. We planned the route for the users inside the room relative to the soil´s theoretical content.

THE MUSEUM AS A CLASSROOM

The museum was conceived as a space that can also convert into a classroom. Through digital screens, teachers can show presentations on topics related to soil science.

THE USER

EXPERIENCE

The design of the visitor’s experience is based on the theory that the museum is a classroom, where users can visit temporary exhibitions on specific topics throughout the year. Children, the main audience, will use digital applications with interactive screens that complement their knowledge of soils. As part of the museology and museography, we also designed a brand identity for the museum (including logos, typography, colours, packaging, and messaging) so that the museum´s graphic pieces are consistent, permanent, and defined.

GRAPHICAL PIECES

Graphic pieces that are supported by diagrams and illustrations effectively communicate complex scientific information about soils to common audiences.

THE MUSEUM BRAND

Design of a brand around the museum that creates clear and appealing graphic visuals for the user during the visit.
