- Abstract
- How can we conceptualise community design beyond
generalised notions of ‘the community’? How can we activate
the many specific yet unpredictable design ideas that are
present in a neighbourhood to generate compelling, poetic
environments, reflective of their multiple authors? In their
2011 installation Holding Pattern at MoMA PS1 in Queens,
NY, Interboro Partners addressed these questions by inviting
Queens residents and institutions to request designed objects
of their choice. During the summer these objects formed
Holding Pattern – a temporary public space and visible
storage of some of the neighbourhood’s desires and design
ideas – before being handed over to their rightful owners
in the fall.
