Workshop: Designing Shared Residential Gardens

Description

This research explores how shared residential gardens evolve over time and how such insights can inform the design of future-oriented residential green commons, that more effectively accommodate evolving social-ecological needs. By framing these spaces as landscape laboratories, the study investigates patterns of commoning and spatiality, focusing on interactions between human and non-human systems. Centred on the EVA-Lanxmeer project in Culemborg (NL), the research examines thirteen shared gardens through an integrated methodology combining diachronic composition analysis, and actors and interaction analyses. This approach
traces where, when, why, and how change occurs, and who is involved or affected.
What principles can be formulated to design residential green commons that anticipate change?
From this analysis, design principles are being developed to help anticipate change in residential green commons. These principles, while grounded in the Lanxmeer context, are being refined to allow broader application.
The upcoming workshop offers a moment to test and reflect on the applicability of these principles in practice, bridging the gap between situated design knowledge and transferable insights.
