BOUNCE Challengers

The BOUNCE Design Challenge is an opportunity for people, from all walks of life–not only designers–to collaborate for a single purpose. In partnership with A Playful City participants have re-imagined placemaking and co-design with a focusing on Drury Street, Dublin. They have developed thinking for a community-first design strategy that supports local life, intergenerational inclusion, and sustainable tourism. Surfacing insights, behaviours and challenges that require intentional interventions, care and consideration. The work aims to reimagine contested public spaces as inclusive, vibrant destinations, and expose the process of critical design-led problem solving throughout. The hope is to apply methodologies from this project beyond to other contexts, cities and spaces who are seeing similar challenges. BOUNCE Challenge Participants: Luciano Jacob, Laura Merrigan, Areeb Tariq, Aoife Flynn, Treasa Burns, Áine Power, Sean O'Beachain, Fergus Craddock, Joanne Byrne, Karl Toomey and TJ Ryan. This BOUNCE Challenge is led by partner agency A Playful City.
