Urban Stripes Workshop, Elefsina, Greece, 2007.

tutors: ana filipovic, ivan grcic, pavle stamenovic

Every city has its secret, forgotten places, which, due to negligence and urban changes, become unused and devastated.

The main concept of this workshop is to search for, and reestablish forgotten urban surroundings or to distinguish and label new ones.

We want to do large scale interventions in open space using basic graphic tool: the line. Lines and signs would guide public space users from one city ambient to another.Techniques used in this project would involve stickers and urban signs, or drawing templates and spray art, if permitted.

The nature of this workshop is temporary, and it would not permanently disturb the surroundings, neither in physical nor in esthetical way.

Our goal is to map and connect various urban spaces and to underline it’s potential.
