307

We designed a series of interventions to explore urban planning in layman’s terms and generate questions about the city of the future. A collection of modular furniture and interactive elements such as moveable tables and stoops, foam blocks, games, and illustration serve as a framework for SWL’s content.

Modular tables present the content; they can be relocated and reconfigured as needed to tell various stories. 

Blocks made of 100% recycled foam can be used to sit, divide or clear the space or build imaginary cities.

With the help of Studio Pilote for artistic direction, SSSVLL for industrial design and Cécile Gariépy for illustrations, Daily developed a language for 307.

Stoops on wheels provide a resting place for both humans and plants. 

Located in an industrial land, the building was transformed into a compelling beacon, with electric blue walls and murals. 

What can the city do for you? Multiple card games invite the public to imagine the city of the future through four different scales: building, street, neighborhood, city. 

What’s in a building? By assembling stackable cards, this game mixes city functions and activities that usually don’t coexist in a single facility. A way to expand people’s current vision of building typologies, and build imaginary housing.

What could the street do for you? This card game offers to compose algorithmic-like sentences, in order to imagine the impact of technologies on streets in the future, and to promote a less car-centric world.

What do you think? With the help of little illustrated cards, visitors can vote for their favorite ideas or a contributions from the fellow visitors.

What are you reading? Both fueled by SWL’s team and public suggestions, a library further feeds the conversation about urban design and living, looking beyond the specifics of Quayside.
