Boyscout Designer

Enter the world of the ‘Boyscout Designer’. Trained to engage with the surroundings, he is resourceful and inventive. He is not afraid to bend the rules if it means adding value to the public space. Derelict plots, graffiti-covered concrete, anonymous squares or sidewalks: all are a canvas for his provocative guerrilla interventions. He seizes opportunities where he finds them, serving the community as he sees fit to create new services, spaces, objects or initiatives. Boyscout Designer is a bottom-up method, mindset and movement. It’s a trigger to roll up your sleeves and get creative with your own environment.
