Connecting Communities Through Design
Design research that creatively engages with citizens and communities is playing an increasingly important role in design practice, becoming a key strategy for innovation. Effective engagement of communities with design tools and design thinking allows the opportunity to go beyond simply designing for, to designing with people.
This presentation will describe a series of case studies where creative citizens and inclusive communities have been engaged in genuine collaboration, not only as a means of insight generation, but also towards the co-authoring of citizen-generated actionable design outputs. Chris will be talking about work in the digital realm, urban design and routes towards nudging healthier lifestyle choices.
