Zagreb, (Mimara Museum), 24. April 2014.
We have the pleasure of announcing the City Acupuncture forum that will take place
in Zagreb on April 24, 2014, organized by Zagreb Society of Architects together with the
partners Cultural Front Belgrade, Public Room Skopje, Public Room Sarajevo and Split
Society of Architects.
The conference will focus on a broader insight and analytical reflection on emerging cultural,
social, and political urban practices, all using new participative methods in shaping and

force, commonly working in multidisciplinary teams, deals flexibly with the existing city,
changing it from within and showing us that social change can happen through design.
Discussions will include presentation and cross-examination of different methodologies
applied on regional and European scale, and considered to be powerful tools of improving
the quality of urban life and in increasing of social cohesion.

available to multiple stakeholders.
LA 27e REGION (France) is a non profit organization based in Paris in 2008, operating as an
innovation lab for 26 French regions.
The project is run by a team with design, political and administrative science skills, together with a
network involving 40 professionals such as service designers, sociologists, architects, urbanists,
anthropologists, digital activists and researchers. The creation of 27th Region was based on the
strong belief that design thinking and social innovation could highly contribute to reshape public
sector, and encouraging civil servants to use creativity as a way to find new solutions and promoting
the participation of the citizens and concepts such as co-design.
COLLECTIF ETC (France) is a collective founded in Strasbourg in 2009 as a group of
architecture and graphic design students. They question the current methods of city building and
planning while providing citizens with an important role in creative process. Their projects range from
architectural construction, designs and construction of public equipments, organizing of conferences
and workshops, developing new public strategies, to more artistic interventions like sculptures and
installations.
In 2012 the collective has carried out its one year long project „Detour of France“ which goal was to
meet and to work with different stakeholders in city building process.
STUDIO BASAR (Romania) was established in 2006 both as an architectural studio and a
Search-and-Rescue team that acts as an agent of urban observation and intervention. Mostly
preoccupied with dynamics of local urban culture and disappearing importance of public spaces in
transitional Bucharest (as is the case in the south east Europe), yet their work range from art
installations, urban research to competitions.
CULTURAL ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT FOR SUBURBS (Czech Republic and
Eastern Europe)
Project Culburb aims to activate a public realm in the suburbs of central European capital cities, by
minimal means, and to start the cityfication of suburbia. A first step in such process is the
improvement of public spaces in the suburbs. They start this process through acupuncture
interventions in six localities around Central European capitals (Budapest, Bratislava, Ljubljana,
Warsaw, Vienna, Prague)
CITY ACUPUNCTURE (South and Eastern Europe) aims to improve the quality of urban
life, increase social cohesion of local communities and strengthen the identity of the neighbourhoods
through a number of small and precise interventions in the city quarters.
It has been implemented throughout two years (June 2012 - May 2014) in five cities: Skopje,
Belgrade, Zagreb, Sarajevo and Split by the following organizations: Zagreb Society of Architects,
Public Room Sarajevo, Public Room Skopje, Cultural Front Belgrade and Split Society of Architects.
Project was approved for financing by the European Commission under the Culture Programme 20072013 in June 2012.
SUPERINTENSE SESSION
There are many initiatives and organizations whose actions strive to make positive changes in the
public areas of the cities. Superintense is representing six organizations that have stood ahead for
systematic thinking and acting in the public space for many years.
With series of short 6 minutes presentations, we will get insights about the drivers and motivation
factors of these organizations in running these initiatives and projects, how they are implemented and
what are the results that are manifested in the physical and social space of the city.
PANEL DISCUSSION
will serve as a platform to discuss and share valuable experiences from different socio-cultural
backgrounds.
The questions opening the discussion will bring different perspectives on the methodologies and
their impact on the fabrication of public space, thus creating an open-source toolbox of social
designs, to be available to multiple stakeholders.
1) What are the core motivation factors for the actions and interventions?
How can we overcome the lack of coordination and understanding between all stakeholders
that influence, change or use the public space?
How can we influence the lack of an active transformation of public space (actual status quo)
and the inability to change this situation?
How can we prevent alienation of users of the space from the very space?
2) Which course of action is more effective? Cooperation with institutions vs. Activism
3) Which models of participation can be integrated in our actions?
4) What are the models of financing the actions?
5) What are the most efficient models for internal organization (flexible fluctuating organization
vs. permanent team)?
6) How to ensure the sustainability of the initiative or organization?
7) Evaluation and Influences: how to evaluate the results of the action, how to evaluate the
influences in social or any other aspects

Forum Akupunkture grada: Nove prakse za urbani redizajn
Zagreb, (Muzej Mimara), 24. travnja 2014.
Sa zadovoljstvom vas pozivamo na Forum Akupunkture grada koji će se održati u Zagrebu 24. travnja
2014, u organizaciji Društva arhitekata Zagreb , zajedno s partnerima Kulturnim Frontom iz Beograda,
Public Room iz Skoplja , Public Room iz Sarajeva i Društvom arhitekata Splita.
Tema foruma su Nove prakse u urbanom redizajnu, a forum se fokusira na šire uvide i analitičke
osvrte o novim kulturnim, socijalnim i političkim urbanim praksama, koje koriste nove participativne
metode u oblikovanju i poboljšanju naše životne sredine. Organizacije koje ih primjenjuju predstavljaju
novu generaciju kreativne urbane snage koja najčešće djeluje u multidisciplinarnim timovima,
fleksibilno i otvoreno pristupa postojećem stanju u gradu, mijenjajući ga iznutra i pokazujući kako se
društvene promjene mogu dogoditi kroz dizajn (i prostora i procesa).
Forum će uključivati prezentacije i propitivanje različitih metodologija koje se sustavno koriste u
brojnim gradovima na regionalnoj i europskoj razini, a postale su provjereni i snažni instrumenti u
poboljšanju kvalitete urbanog života i povećanju socijalne kohezije.
Skup će se održati 24. travnja s početkom u 09:30 prema slijedećem preliminarnom rasporedu:

SUPERINTENSE
Brojne su inicijative i udruge koje svojim djelovanjem nastoje napraviti pozitivne pomake u javnim
prostorima gradova. Superintense predstavlja 6 organizacija koje su se istaklnule višegodišnjim
sustavnim promišljanjem i djelovanjem u javnom prostoru.
Kratkim prezentacijama u trajanju od 6 minuta – dobit ćemo uvide iz kojih su polazišta pokrenute te
inicijative i projekti, kako su provedeni, te s kojim su se rezultatima manifestirale u fizičkom i
socijalnom prostoru grada.
PANEL DISKUSIJA
Panel će poslužiti kao platforma za raspravu i razmjenu vrijednih iskustava iz različitih društveno kulturnih sredina. Pitanja koja otvaraju raspravu donijet će različite perspektive o metodologijama i
njihovim utjecajima na oblikovanje javnih prostora, čime one postaju, poput open-source alata,
dostupne različitim dionicima u urbanom razvoju i redizajnu.
1) Koji su osnovni pokretači i polaziša za inicijative i intervencije?
Kako možemo prevladati nedostatak koordinacije i razumijevanja među svim dionicima koji
utječu, mijenjaju ili koriste javni prostor? Kako možemo utjecati na nedostatak aktivne
transformacije javnog prostora (trenutni status quo) i nemogućnost da se promijeni ova
situacija? Kako možemo spriječiti otuđenje korisnika prostora od samoga prostora?
2) Koji je smjer djelovanja djelotvorniji? Suradnja s institucijama, aktivizam ili nešto treće
3) Koji modeli participacije mogu biti integrirani u djelovanjima?
4) Kakvi su mogući modeli financiranja akcija ?
5) Koji su najučinkovitiji modeli organizacije (fleksibilni fluktuirajući organizacija ili stalni tim)?
6) Na koji način se može osigurati dugoročna održivost inicijative ili organizacije?
7) Procjena i utjecaji : kako vrednovati rezultate akcija, kako se ocjenjuju utjecaji u društvenom ili
bilo kojem drugom aspektu
