Poblejoc is an interactive installation designed as an Urban Game with the aim of activating the public space.
Poblejoc was created in the framework of the #Superilla (Super-block) workshop, a pilot test of the Superilla plan for Barcelona, that was developed in the Sant Martí district. The plan aims to close to traffic a part of the city’s roads, allowing to use these new pedestrianalised areas as public space.
The space configurations are mapped through the use of a drone, in order to extract data on the space dynamics. Moreover, downloading the Poblejoc app, users can obtain information, through augmented reality, on each furniture module. Technology is used within the installation with the aim of further enhancing citizen’s engagement.
