Why
We see design as a third space where new meaning is created and by doing so, we extend collaborative and creative bridges that allow for new values, meanings, and relationships to emerge. Previous to the workshop, we will discuss communality in terms of its online/onsite implications by contrasting case studies in different countries, key concepts and open questions. The day of the workshop we will facilitate a creative session where participants will create a “3D collage” inspired by the different materials and techniques brought by the participants; these collages will then be digitized, presented and discussed.
