PD - Project Description:
Tirana Design Weeks Design Now Design Catalyst is about an urban platform to create a better place for people, through the use of design,art, architecture and urban interventions. Use art as a means to create social change, interaction, to think beyond, to aspire and inspire a greater and better future, art as a means of meaningful human gestures that motivates/design catalyst!. Design now is in demand in Tirana (Albania) as a means to express the progress and changing the page of past years for a meaningful and bright future: with design, art, beauty, color, architecture, and social-well being at its core. “where there is will, there is way” Edi Rama. social_iMpetus is a recycle/reclaimed wood pallet installation that comes to spark social interaction, as a momentum in the urban context that invites for social pride and to bring Albanians together; to create a greater force to a prosperous future (together we strive). Designed from a human scale social_iMpetus changes an urban moment. It trigers the interaction of human life to the object, the object to the square, the square to the City, and the City to all other benefits. social_iMpetus utilizes the existing Mother Tereza Square facades, stairs, and buildings as part of the momentum, in which it plays a critical part to focus peolple’s attention on a space of unification. It uses local materials: a design concept to be meant for the locale with their social life, colors (RED), and culture.

On one side, classical architecture with nighttime illuminations. On the other side, an overpowering boulevard (Deshmore Te Kombit) providing the undoubtedly sense of power (grandiose) and a feeling of being in the center of something dynamic!. The space layout provides opportunity for a variety of activities to take place, such as, a mini cinema (amphitheater), grandstand (contemplation), lounge (seat, bench & table), and it serves the pedestrian passersby as they transverse Mother Tereza Square. The functions work in different modes (if neccessary), giving plenty of options for different configurations with the intention of providing a flexible space for spontaneous social interaction. When people is in the iMpetus is hard to get out, it is a moment of transcendence, it is the energy that brings people togheter. Everything is possible with social_iMpetus! Key words: +social interaction +civic pride/ownership +identity
