Intervention

The rough edges of public space is where Bouke Bruins works. With his project *Boyscout Designer* he unites the world of design with the idea of the boy scouts, by creating playful interventions. His starting point is that the (over-)definition of public space leads to extreme regulation which in turn makes its users passive. Boy scouts are taught to engage with their environment in an active and responsible manner. Boyscout Designer is a model through which Bouke Bruins explores the opportunities for a designer in public space.
