ideasSPACE with Sherry Dobbin of Futurecity
Eyes attract images; B. V. Doshi |
Now more than ever we need to add colour, humour, laughter and humanity to our streets and cities. We need to bring people together to live each others stories and forge new realities. I have long been calling for a culture-led approach to the design of urban infrastructure and cities, to make streets and public spaces enjoyable and a good laugh - and we need one now - so I was excited to speak with Sherry Dobbin, a cornerstone of the urban art world and expert in embedding art in our lives, to explore what we need to do for the design of cities going forwards, to make them into places of laughter once more. |
