Planning a public-art proposal for a Nairobi site

Begin with the site rather than a finished sculpture. Identify the owner or manager, intended audience, surrounding activities, access routes, views and possible maintenance needs. Speak with people who use the space and record what they say, including views that challenge the first idea.

Explain your concept with sketches, a scale model, a materials note and a short description of how people might encounter the work. Identify the technical reviews and site permissions you still need. A rendering cannot demonstrate structural stability, safe installation, accessibility compliance or permission to use a site.

For your Nairobi project, involve the site owner or managing organisation before you develop detailed plans or consider installation. Explore KENCID’s Sculpture course for related study.
