How to engage students in their urban environment?
ReImage and ReBuild! Expand the toolbox for youth engagement in reparative, urban harvesting of the built environment
A 3-part workshop supported students in exploring how they could revitalize their community through direct material and building reuse.
The workshop tackled these problems by breaking them down into three manageable sessions for social participation. The first focused on data collection and observation both on the ground by co-researchers and in the air with a demonstration of advancing drone-enabled historic and urban preservation technologies by the Just Places Lab (JPL); the second addressed data analysis for urban mining with Scan for Reuse (ScanR) by the Circular Construction Lab (CCL); and the third on design iterations and testing which culminated with a pamphlet to disseminate lessons to stakeholders. Each session was educational and exploratory.
ScanR was used Quantify
