Atmospheres of inclusion and identity: designing public open space in superdiverse cities.

这是一个景观设计师学术（Rishbeth）和多学科设计和研究实践（我们做到了）之间的合作。我们将通过借调机会解决的挑战是1/认识到多民族城市公共空间中归属和排斥的细微差别，2/在设计实践中对此做出有意义的回应。以实践为基础的研究的目标将是测试如何理论和方法，关于地方的“气氛”可能是有用的前景化，讨论，并回应城市设计过程中的多样性。谁觉得他们在“被”，在哪里，为什么？个人和集体对公园、广场和街道的日常体验是由身份的许多方面和这些方面的交叉点塑造的，包括种族、民族、性别、阶级和年龄。“大气”一词被用来定义“介于两者之间”，捕捉“环境质量和人类状态之间”的微妙关系（Bohme，1993）。基于这一理论，研究探索了城市空间中的情感、感官和人际反应（例如Pink，S。等人，2015）。然而，很少明确关注种族和民族多样性，只有构建环境中的应用程序的新兴工作（亚当斯等人，2020年）。Rishbeth和We Made That旨在测试这种理论透镜如何为城市设计方法提供信息，特别是在种族多元化的社区环境中，理解种族主义，“他者”或边缘化叙事所支撑的社会联系和断开的动态至关重要。研究问题：城市设计和景观设计实践如何通过将氛围理论整合到设计过程中，从而更好地响应地方体验的文化和种族多样性维度？所使用的研究项目将侧重于Rishbeth在伦敦的六个We Made That项目中的合作，其中四个处于设计过程的不同阶段，两个已完成，代表不同的干预规模。她将与多学科设计团队以及We Made That自己的城市研究部门密切合作，开发和测试参与式或协作式场地分析、设计干预和入住后评估的方法。方法将包括与实践工作人员的讨论，现场观察和参与设计过程的协作阶段，以及与利益相关者的访谈。项目产出将包括一个数字资源：“归属感氛围：将无形的经验和回应融入城市设计实践”和四个面向利益相关者的活动（两个面向建筑环境部门的专业人员，一个面向感兴趣的公众，一个面向高等教育）。We Made That在他们的项目中有一种激进的包容性的实践精神，在规划，设计和场所营造的规模上，专门为公共部门和慈善机构工作，致力于提供公共利益。此次合作将使Rishbeth能够探索其长期研究的实际应用，重点是移民，包容性和公共空间，并通过项目产出更具体地为建筑环境部门做出贡献。

This is a collaboration between a landscape architect academic (Rishbeth) and a multidisciplinary design and research practice (We Made That). The challenge that we will address through the secondment opportunity is of 1/ recognising nuanced aspects of belonging and exclusion in multi-ethnic urban public spaces, and 2/ meaningfully responding to this within design practice. The objective of the practice-based research will be to test how theories and methods regarding place 'atmospheres' might be useful in foregrounding, discussing, and responding to diversity in urban design processes. Who feels they 'belong', where and why? Individual and collective everyday experiences of parks, squares and streets are shaped by many aspects of identity and intersections of these, including race, ethnicity, gender, class and age. The term 'atmospheres' is used to define 'in-betweeness', capturing subtle relationships 'between environmental qualities and human states' (Bohme, 1993). Building on this theory, research has explored emotional, sensory and inter-personal responses within urban spaces (e.g. Pink, S. et al. 2015). However, there is rarely an explicit focus on racial and ethnic diversity, and only emerging work on applications within the build environment (Adams et al., 2020). Rishbeth and We Made That aim to test how this theoretical lens may inform urban design approaches especially in ethnically diverse neighbourhood settings, where it is vital to understand dynamics of social connections and disconnections underpinned by narratives of racism, 'other-ing' or marginalisation. Research Question: How can urban design and landscape architecture practice become more responsive to cultural and ethnically diverse dimensions of place experience though integrating the theory of atmospheres into the design process? The research project used will focus on collaboration by Rishbeth in six of We Made That's projects in London, four of these in various stages of the design process and two completed, representing different scales of intervention. She will work closely within the multi-disciplinary design teams, and We Made That's own Urban Research Unit, to develop and test methods for participatory or collaborative site analysis, design interventions and post-occupancy evaluations. Methods will include discussions with practice staff, on-site observations and participation in collaborative stages of the design process, and interviews with stakeholders.The project outputs will include a digital resource: 'Atmospheres of belonging: integrating intangible experiences and responses into urban design practice' and four stakeholder facing events (two for built environment sector professionals, one for interested general public, one within Higher Education). We Made That have a practice ethos of radical inclusivity in their projects at planning, design and placemaking scales, working exclusively for the public sector and charities with a headline commitment to delivering public good. The collaboration will enable Rishbeth to explore practical applications to her longstanding research focused on migration, inclusion and public space, and contribute more specifically to the built environment sector through the project outputs.
