The Performative Space project was employed to generate new designs for public space.Social changes have greatly altered the use of public space. It is therefore essential to devise novel uses for this space in order to continuously stimulate social interaction. The public space is a place where people meet. Trade, discussion or the exchange of information traditionally took place in the coffeehouses and on the town square. This employment of the public space is under pressure. Political utterances on the internet, the commercialisation of outdoor space and the individualisation of society mean that the public sphere is
disappearing from public space.
