Words: Helen & Hard

At the NEB-STAR festival we celebrated three years of work with the EU project NEB-STAR. The festival was held at Innoasis and involved visits to the test areas Åsen, Site 4016 and Pedersgata.

Over the last three years we have tested various methods and tools to strengthen cooperation towards more sustainable, inclusive and beautiful development in our cities.

We have gained a lot of insight and see that it is important to continue the cooperation and put our experiences into practice. We hope this will be continued here locally in Stavanger where we can continue to learn and share more both locally, nationally and with the rest of Europe.

In the partnership between Helen & Hard and NEB-STAR, JammerJam shows an example of how more stakeholders can be included in early conversations about future development in a neighbourhood.

The film documents a process on-site inside a workshop. Here we draw and discuss a basis for a vision of the neighbourhood’s future, together with the municipality, a landowner, a developer, neighbours, a social entrepreneur, an artist and architect.

With drawing as a tool, architects can contribute to more inclusive processes and the concretisation of sustainability with aesthetics as a driving force.
