INTERFACE INTERFACE

The interface can be divided into two specific audiences. The citizens and the government. Since we aim to be the bridge between these two entities, we have devised specific methods to target these stakeholders. Our instagram page @safespacesydney becomes an archive of our advocacy works, as fellow citizens can tag the page as a way to claim what they see is wrong (or right) in our public spaces. A survey is also linked to promote people to give their insights into our current project at the time. Through photographs, videos, sketches, and markups, we show our understanding of the public space through tools associated with tertiary architectural education. The outcome of these shared with the public on a digestible and accessible platform allows for acknowledgement, expansion and awareness of our cause. We aim to show what is hostile, unsafe and inaccessible through our page and can use this as evidence when presenting data to the council when they undertake a project in a specific public space.

Our relationship with the council is that of an ally. We are an agency aiming to work alongside the government during the research phase of an urban project in a public domain. Our data (past and present) will aim to provide information which is often unseen, unheard and undocumented.
