Our project was created as a part of the workshop titled REACTION (MEDS 2013) that was consisted of a series of small urban interventions (ACTIONS) on chosen locations around the Graça neighborhood in Lisbon. The main idea behind the workshop was to provoke participation by the residents of Graça through proposals for alternative uses of public spaces. At the same time the proposals contested the gentrification process that is rapidly changing the area. During the workshop, fifteen groups of students developed urban furniture, children’s playgrounds, meeting points, temporary art installations and organised events with the residents.
