Play Alghero - Playful Itinerary:

Our project, part of the Play Alghero initiative funded by the EU's MedGaims program, delves into the intersection of design's role as a catalyst in representing local identities and explores gamification as a strategy to promote heritage and enhance territorial attractiveness. Structured as a series of physical installations throughout the town's historic center connecting to the city’s airport and outskirts, our project combines a distinctive visual identity with playful interactions to engage users in exploring both the tangible and intangible aspects of the city of Alghero. Designed to create interactions between people and places, a playful itinerary interprets the local identity, encouraging both tourists and locals to reflect on the sense of place.

Abstract

Our project, part of the Play Alghero initiative funded by the EU's MedGaims program, delves into the intersection of design's role as a catalyst in representing local identities and explores gamification as a strategy to promote heritage and enhance territorial attractiveness. Structured as a series of physical installations throughout the town's historic center connecting to the city’s airport and outskirts, our project combines a distinctive visual identity with playful interactions to engage users in exploring both the tangible and intangible aspects of the city of Alghero. Designed to create interactions between people and places, a playful itinerary interprets the local identity, encouraging both tourists and locals to reflect on the sense of place.
