Abstract
This paper presents the results of a case study on how ubiquitous technology can trigger symbolic appropriation dynamics, or placemaking from a community, in the context of building abandonment in the historic downtown. We focus our approach on the creation of an interdisciplinary methodology between communication strategies, information design and interaction systems which converged in the generation of a public interactive display which can mediate sensorial and symbolically appreciations for different audiences through play and interaction. We focus our approach on the creation of an interdisciplinary methodology including communication strategies, information design and interaction systems which converged in the generation of a public interactive display which can mediate sensorial and symbolical appreciations for different audiences through the use of play and interaction.
