Design research is in a state of flux. In a world where complexity is rising and change is now constant, the research process and the methods utilized, can form a key part of a new approach to tackle our most pressing economic and social issues. It is time to expand our focus and build upon our toolset. How can we use our process as a means to enable a wider range of disciplines and stakeholders to collaborate?
This year I’ve had the opportunity to work with Studio 1:1 – to rethink how urban design and architecture can utilize qualitative research methods to address the challenges faced by marginalized communities. This is a novel approach that places the individual at the heart of new solutions, and builds the capacity to innovate in unrealized areas.
