Barking Assemblage

Barking from Without is part of the 2010 Cities Methodologies exhibition and conference organised by the UCL Urban Lab. The exhibition is taking place at the Slade Research Centre on Woburn Square from 5 to 7 May 2010.

Barking from Without is an interactive installation presenting material from an ongoing case study of the new Barking Town Square in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. Part of a broader research project on design in the contemporary public realm, the case study is supported primarily by participant-observer methods that draw as much on ethnographic fieldwork as on Bakhtin’s theory of dialogism. The research is presented in the form of an open dialogue which visitors are encouraged to join by leaving written comments.

All material from the installation is posted on Barking Assemblage under the category ‘Barking from Without’. If you would like to leave a comment, please email comment@barking-asseblage.org
