Old School Ilica is a collaborative, local craft production initiative that deals with processes that led to changes in Zagreb urban tissue since the early ’90s and investigates the impacts of bottom-up strategies on the economy of one of its most central streets. The project proposes a model for self-sustainable development of the local community by means of social design, through collaboration, knowledge sharing and co-creation of craftspeople, designers and citizens. The model is based on belief in the ability of social relations and reflects the ideas of hyperlocalism, criticality and orientation towards the local community. The project was conceived within the
nanotourism
initiative during BIO 50 in Ljubljana in 2014. and was later on manifested through a series of public actions, exhibitions and events. The research part of the project ended in 2017. by publishing a Registry of Knowledge Holders book, which is an anthropological design study of the production life of Ilica street, focusing on small shops and craftspeople. The project eventually evolved into a more complex international platform MADE IN
