Participatory Frameworks

A long running project exploring participative practices for developing architecture through community interaction. Participatory Frameworks explores how interaction between the designers of environments, and the societies that are intended to use these environments creates ‘excess’. That the interaction of two people (for example) leads to more than the cumulative knowledge and expertise of both but rather through exchange leads to new, unexpected opportunities, not previously conceivable from the constituent parts.

Running in parallel to my ‘Performative Ecologies’ research on building digitally enabled ‘intelligent’ architecture. The project is currently developing as a series of workshops exploring how people understand space, how we might incourage them to imagine new spaces, and what the role of the architect is in social environments where the archtecture is reconfigurable and shared.
