Abstract

Due to the disaster in 1986, the Exclusion Zone of Chernobyl gave rise to an exclusive eco-system (Deryabina et al., 2015) that turned the nuclear zone into natural tourist destination. This leads to the question of such adaptation of the local society and their built environment. In the time when we discuss about 80% of biodiversity or biomass loss in Western and Central Europe, this place is truly unique. Our workshop program claimed that the community needs to take an advantage of such local specificity and develop their cross-species co-living and co-habitation skills. These are advanced through community ‘co-design and co-creation’ (Sanders & Stappers, 2008) with the use of sketch models (see Figure 2), questionnaires and GIGA-Mapping (see Figure 3), a visual trans-disciplinary diagramming of complexity (Davidová, 2014a, 2017; Davidová & Zímová, 2017; Sevaldson, 2011, 2015). Many locals helped on the building site. The participants photographed and draw the local references while seek for their relations. While doing so, they co-designed eco-systemic ‘prototypical urban interventions’ (Doherty, 2005) and their fusion was physically prototyped. The reason for prototyping is twofold: 1] it teaches the participants prototyping skills for all the other prototypes realisation; 2] it develops a particular case study into realisation and its recipe is placed online so it can be locally adapted and reproduced elsewhere with Creative Commons Non-Commercial Use Licence (Creative Commons, 2017). The link to the recipe is distributed locally in form of QR code. We truly hope that the prototype can stay at the place. However, this is up to Slavutych municipality to decide. Therefore, during the festival event, the prototype Co-oCo-oNest serves as a learning tool for observations and alterations suggestions as well as an advertisement, motivating more interventions, exhibiting ‘Know How for DIY’.
