This month, A 01 starts giving a multidisciplinary course on the use, appropriation and conservation of public space at the Psychology School of the University of Costa Rica, together with 3 other professors from different disciplines. Groups of Communication, Architecture and Psychology students are investigating selected urban sites such as the central market, the so-called “Park of the Nicaraguans”, the Morazan Park as well as a popular commercial street in the center of San Jose.
Different tools and methods of investigation are being applied, including the Social Cultural Mapping developed by A Company as well as the Place Diagram from PPS, all within the framework of the adaptive, behavioral opportunity and sociocultural paradigms. Poster designs will be developed for communication purposes; the course will furthermore result in a series of documentary scripts to be realized and shown on national television by Canal 15.
