Designing in the street
A group of Design students from Sheffield Hallam
University in the UK did a research project
about innovative street design. The purpose of
their project was to explore how design can be
used to create interesting and innovative urban
spaces. The students focused on a section of
Gloucester Road in London. They considered the
street in terms of the people who lived there
permanently, such as home owners and shop
owners, the people who passed through, such as
pedestrians, and those who regularly interacted
in the street, such as post men, taxi drivers,
bus drivers and rubbish collectors. At the time
of the study there were plans to reduce the
number of vehicles in the street by only
allowing electric cars. This was to lower the
amount of pollution produced by them.
The students started the project by observing
what went on in the street over a week. They
also talked to people in the street, asking
their opinions about what they would like to see
made better and how they wanted the street to
change in the future. Then the students went
away and thought about how they could improve
the neighbourhood. They were not just focused on
design, but also on how they could encourage a
sense of community and sharing between
strangers.
One of the ideas they came up with was ‘Bus Stop
Messaging’. They put a large notepad on a bus
stop with the question, ‘What are you thinking
about to pass the time?’ Many people on the
street wrote their thoughts on the pad. The
students discovered that people liked sharing
their stories with each other and reading other
people’s stories.
2 3
The next experiment was a ‘Swap Box’. This was a
box that people could leave things in that they
no longer wanted and ask for things they wanted.
Each object in the Swap Box had a paper tag
attached with a short story about the history of
the object and why the owner wanted to swap it.
This idea was quite successful and proved an
effective way of recycling objects and reducing
waste.
Another rather humorous idea that emerged as a
result of the research was the ‘Gossip Vehicle’.
This is an electric car that could be shared by
the people living on the street in an effort to
reduce the number of cars in the area. In order
to gain access to the car, the passenger has to
whisper an exciting piece of news or gossip to
the car!
‘Street Furniture Pets’ was another proposal.
The concept was that the people who live on the
street would be responsible for a piece of
street furniture, such as a lamp post. They had
to keep track of how much electricity was used
by the ‘pet’. The idea behind this was to raise
awareness of energy usage.
Although none of the ideas have become a
permanent feature of Gloucester Road, the
students’ creative ideas helped to temporarily
transform a typical London street into a
friendly and helpful place and encouraged a real
sense of community and fun.
