Lima Najjar will give a seminar titled 'Spatial Video Projection as a Digital DIY Paradigm for Under-valued Public Open Spaces Revitalization' on Dec 12, at 2pm / BA002.
Abstract: This research suggested a digital model for revitalizing undervalued public open spaces (UVPOS) as one of the contemporary cities' phenomena. It discusses spatial video projection (SVP) as a digital do-it-yourself (DIY) paradigm for UVPOS revitalization. The application of tricycle SVP is suggested as a model for this paradigm. This research conceptualizes the SVP as a digital DIY paradigm for UVPOS revitalization and identifies the main components that must be achieved and integrated with the city's official planning and design systems. Based on Amberinteraktif pilot project was conducted in Istanbul that was supported by Istanbul planning agency (IPA) and Amberinteraktif platform. This project is called “DİJOO: seyyar video projeksiyon haritalama”. Parts of this project will be discussed.
● Biography Lima Najjar is an architect and researcher. She earned her Ph.D. degree from Istanbul Technical University, Landscape Architecture Department in the summer of 2023. Her Ph.D. thesis, titled” A Model to Utilize Emerging ICT For Revitalizing Under-Valued Public Open Spaces in Urbanscape: Investigating Spatial Video Projection.” The thesis intends to develop a comprehensive process to investigate utilizing specific emerging ICT to upgrade urban public open spaces. The motive behind the initiation of this research is based on her master’s degree thesis which focused on neglected urban public open spaces revitalization. However, in 2016 once she started her Ph.D. degree, she considered that the emerging ICT component is vital to research in terms of upgrading urbanscape under-valued public open spaces.
Her research and practice focus on contemporary cities, emerging technologies, community building, spatial experience, and place-making.
