Radius 100 model - Working multi-disciplinary theories, methodologies and design practice

Abstract | Radius 100 is a social-design action seminar co-framing the “right to the city” with the moto “beyond academia”. The seminar aims at developing research-based projects for social design by focusing on the diverse experience of urban users in site-specific setting of 100 meter. A concept model discoursing multidisciplinary theories and human based field methodologies with site & senses explorations is introduced as a platform for enveloping people & place in re- thinking neighborhood and public spaces. Four (4) core pillars guideline the model: (1) theory (2) methodology (3) design charrettes based on cross-disciplinary methods (4) applied tools. Divergent thinking and open inquiry are the fundamental values of the mode action enabling open-ended processes in building up projects for urban social sustainability. Adopting the Radius 100 model as an urban-project skillset aspires to construct dialoguing research, social design methods and communities as a platform for social sustainable innovative projects.

 In 2023 Radius 100 will apply its skillset and toolkits in the neighborhood of Musrara ,  a city-site adjacent to Bezalel, Jerusalem Municipality and the old city of Jerusalem.
