Emily Crompton Talk

I went to a really interesting talk that Emily Crompton did who works for URBED, which stands for Urbanism, Environment and Design. They believe in designing for the public and getting involved in your area. They also have ethical aesthetics, she talked about the building that Choi Jeong- Hwa created using a thousand doors from people of his area, letting art engage with the greater population. I liked the idea that Conway&Young had, to record where all empty shops are so that other creative people can put use to them. This worked as a good way to bring art to people that don't usually see it. I also liked the idea that she used in one of her projects as an architect, to create models for the public to interact with so that they could design what they wanted. This worked really effectively.
