Workshop “T-Factor | DeuS KAUNAS Living Lab II”

This workshop is a result of collaboration between the Deus project, T-Factor, KTU and Kaunas Fortress. It consists of two parts: Kaunas Fortress makerspace and its surroundings visit and the workshop. The workshop is moderated by Deividas Juozulynas from the Design agency “We Are Critical”.

For many years this site was closed from the public eye, therefore in order to make it attractive, it needs to have an identity, the vision, which would ground urban regeneration in peoples’ minds and help to develop the site. It is also important to involve various stakeholders and listen to different perspectives. This activity gives space for various stakeholders to share their future vision of the AIIP. It also invites people to get familiar with the Kaunas Fortress, which is going to have the closest proximity to the AIIP. Different actors have different visions of the future of a place. The co-creation of place-based identities/communications provides a context for exploration and exchange of the different perceptions, meanings and values attributed to regeneration sites. This workshop used creative brainstorming methods that helped to think along and bring diverse interest groups to collaborate. The aim of this workshop was to create a space for stakeholders to be heard and contribute to the formation of a vision for the waiting time of the territory.
