Challenge

Arosa, one of the top 10 Alpine destinations in Switzerland, attracts visitors of all ages from around the world. The council was looking to invest in a ‘staging’ for its central village square, which would be accessible for everyone in the local community as well as attracting visitors of all ages to the area.

Previous attempts included chessboards but ended with no result or small punctual improvements.

Solution

moveart's unique participative design development, which included discussions and identification processes, resulted in a solution which represented everyone in the process and was immediately supported by all groups. The project grew to include extra forms and benches in the space.

Outcome

The “Arosa Wave” was welcomed by the local community and has become a central meeting point for locals, attracting visitors alike.

Other projects

A second project is the Pilatus Dragon on Pilatus Mountain where moveart® worked with the client to create a playsculpture® inspired by the mountain's mythical creatures.
