ABSTRACT

The active participation of users in the Design Process (DP) in architecture is a collective action, which aims to meet their real needs. In terms of open spaces for children, squares and playgrounds become leisure spaces known for being places of coexistence, interaction and entertainment. However, the vast majority of children’s environments are planned and organized considering the perceptions and experiences of adults. Children become absent from the process of building the contemporary city. Co-design is an important tool for adding users to DP. The objective of this work is, therefore, to include children in the DP of a Pocket Park, using methods and tools to support co-design. The work was structured based on bibliographic review, Focus Group, Culture Maker and Digital Fabrication. The research indicated that the collaborative project promotes assertive communication between children and designers, welcoming their ideas and perceptions in a flexible way.
