One of the main projects of the initiative StadtBauKultur NRW for the next years will be a project called ‘Sehen lernen’, what could be translated as ‘Learning to see’. The campaign faces the main theme: to bring a new sense for the build enviroment in the cityscapes of North-Rhein Westfalen to the public. The project is segmented into three parts, a poster campaign, a internet platform with information material, pictures and so on and, as the heart of it, a architectural wodden building, looking like a old bellowcamera. This so called ‘Sehstation’ should bring a new sense for the surrounding by changing the view in two ways. The first one is experienced while walking up the stairs to the small window at the end, the second view is the open, but still focused one when you walk out again.
I followed the project in 2009 as in the years before, this time with a big focus on doing research how a project like this can change the view of the people to their daily life environment.
