Conversations that should be inspiring can become shouting matches. So what would it look like to facilitate truly meaningful discussions between citizens and planners? What if they could be fun? For twenty years,James Rojas and John Kamp have been looking to art, creative expression, and storytelling to shake up the classic community meeting. In Dream Play Build, they sharetheir insights into building common ground and inviting active participation among diverse groups. Their approach,^"Place It!,^" draws on three methods: the interactive model-building workshop, the pop-up, and site exploration usingour senses. Using our hands to build and create is centralto what makes us human, helping spark ideas without relying on words to communicate. Deceptively playful, thismethod is remarkably effective at teasing out community dreams and desires from hands-on activities. Dream Play Build offers wisdom distilled from workshops held around the world, and a deep dive into the transformational approach and results from the South Colton community in southern California. While much of the process was developed through in-person meetings, the book also translates the experience to online engagement--how to make people remember their connections beyond the computerscreen. Inspirational and fun, Dream Play Build celebratesthe value of engaging with the dreams we have for our communities. Readers will find themselves weaving these artful, playful lessons and methods into their own effortsfor making change within the landscape around them.^"--Amazon.com |
