Create Beauty First - Gilbert Rochecouste / Melbourne
How do we measure a safe and compassionate city?
In this candid conversation with Gilbert we delve into some historical “illegal acts of love.”( ie: tactical urbanism / placemaking). Learn more about some of his more recent projects like the “new local,” and his emphasis on building deep regenerative capacities for renewal.
Episode Notes -
What value do we put on culture? Here are some key moments that sparked notes …
The MPavilion as the cultural anchor of Melbourne
Moving towards a more citizen based and participatory exchange in our places.
As good placemakers we need to connect and unleash the potential of community wisdom.
It takes many hands to create a place, and we’re gonna need more adaptability and community spaces
Community Spaces that are:
Trauma informed
Socially creative spaces
Help people linger longer
Safe beautiful places where people can connect
Lifting the human experience
Expanding your horizons
Where amenity can be clustered
Create a sense of vitality, connection, and celebration
Placemaking is all about sparking energy
Immersive participatory process
We are in the time of risk taking
We need to not be comfortable in our context anymore.
