We organized a meeting with the residents to show our concepts and to have a discussion about the way to implement them in the Agavestraat. This time we wanted to use a more interactive way of working than only showing a powerpoint. We printed a map and some pictures of the Agavestraat and we took some paper and pens to let the residents write down their ideas. We asked if they could write down what – according to them – are the positive and negative aspects of their street.
Furthermore we let them draw out their daily routine and we asked to describe the way they feel about the Agavestraat, making use of three words. This way we could discover the way they think about the street, which is partly based on the first associations that are made when talking about it. This can be done by writing things down and have a discussion about the street. After this interactive part we showed our concept presentation, and we let the residents give feedback on it. They told us which parts they like, but also which parts of the street they would like to see improved, and how we could make use of already existing objects in the street.
