Plaza
A public space for gathering and socializing.
Urbanismo Tático X Ações para Transformar Cidades | Editora UFRJ, 2022
A plaza is made of:
Space
Objects
People
The space and furniture should meet the needs of its visitors.
However...
Do current spaces truly satisfy the desires of those who use them?
If you could shape this plaza, would it stay the same?
What would change if people could rethink the plazas around them?
rePraça
is a platform that enables the collective imagination of public squares by their visitors.
The user utilizes urban furniture items to virtually reimagine a plaza.
Each project is then exported to the Plaza Gallery, where it's possible to view everything that has been imagined.

Examples of plazas imagined by users
Thus, when the public rethinks the current state of these spaces, we can compare the
current
vs.

imagined
and thus, understand what uses and changes people desire for each plaza in the city :)
