Qurbancraft is a collaborative and participatory way of designing and transforming public space. It addresses the problem of revitalization and "activation" of underused or abandoned spaces, by offering effective strategies to make them viable and available to the community. The essential mechanism of Qurbancraft is the following:

1. The physical space is divided into a regular grid, and equipped with a certain number of cubes

2. Through the Web platform, users participate in the collaborative and design process collective choice.

By interacting with the platform, each user can:

PROPOSE A PROJECT, placing the cubes on the grid (even one on top of the other up to 4 elements), to organize forms and spatial narratives, seatings, games, containments, openings, rhythm of space, ...;

MOTIVATE the choices, inserting a description of the project;

COMMENT AND DISCUSS the proposals with other participants;

VOTE the favorite project;

3. REALIZATION OF THE PROJECT that obtains the greatest consent, from specifically dedicated workers;

4. THE PROCESS IS REPEATED: space changes cyclically over time (proposals-discussion-vote-realization) with pre-established time frame. At this procedure can be added complementary activities such as:

ADOPT THE CUBE: laboratory practices for customizing the cubes to give identity and visual recognition to the elements of the project

THEMATIC LAYOUTS: competitions for themed projects or related to important cultural events.

Qurbancraft pursues the following objectives:

stimulates public participation, simplifying the collaborative design procedure, breaking down the barriers of technical competence in order to participate; offers an urban space that changes cyclically; spreads the practice in a "viral" way and encourages a prolific conflict. To "win" it is necessary "get the votes", motivating participants to invite others to participate); makes the space attractive, a place to visit, show, and show off; a desirable and desired space; fosters attachment and "taking care" of the space by inhabitants and visitors.

-Swing Time is a temporary installation developed within the framework of the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority’s urban renewal initiative. The installation integrates energy generation and plays, demonstrating the relation between production and consumption.
+Qurbancraft is a collaborative and participatory way of designing and transforming public space. It addresses the problem of revitalization and "activation" of underused or abandoned spaces, by offering effective strategies to make them viable and available to the community. The essential mechanism of Qurbancraft is the following:
+. The physical space is divided into a regular grid, and equipped with a certain number of cubes
+. Through the Web platform, users participate in the collaborative and design process collective choice.

-The urban playscape is composed of 18 welded polypropylene swings, which hang under a customfabricated solar canopy. The swings are designed in three different sizes so that the community can engage and play with Swing Time as individuals or in groups.
+. THE PROCESS IS REPEATED: space changes cyclically over time (proposals-discussion-vote-realization) with pre-established time frame. At this procedure can be added complementary activities such as:
-Swing Time uses solar energy harvested from a series of photovoltaic cells that translate UV rays into electrical illumination.
+ADOPT THE CUBE: laboratory practices for customizing the cubes to give identity and visual recognition to the elements of the project
-Responsive in real-time to environmental conditions, the playscape’s illumination corresponds to a daily accumulation of solar power, translating UV rays into a visual register that indexes the abundance of solar energy. Photovoltaic cells integrated into the canopy capture and store solar energy during daylight hours. Through an automated system, the accumulated energy is distributed into LED lights located on the swings.
+THEMATIC LAYOUTS: competitions for themed projects or related to important cultural events.
-Moreover, accelerometers installed within each swing directly respond to the acceleration forces and tilt exerted by users.
+Qurbancraft pursues the following objectives:
-When the swings are not moving, they emit soft White light, thanks to the energy collected during the day.

-As the swings increase in momentum from a static position, a microcontroller adjusts the LED output through a gradient scale from white blue to purple.

-The responsive elements of Swing Time invite users to interact with the swings and with each other. The overall theme of Swing Time is to entice people of all ages to engage in active public play. Public play creates a community laboratory and raises awareness of energy consumption and production
