Sustainable Habitats & Housing Customisation
Participatory Design in the Metaverse
With the aid of digital and 3-dimensional communication tools, how can we transform the roles of architects, inviting citizens from being passive consumers of architectural services, to becoming active contributors on the everyday design of a city?
PROJECT SHOWREEL
TRAILER
Participatory Design is a design approach that focuses on collaboration and co-creation, which involves both expert and general intelligences in decision-making processes, with the aim of synthesising top-down and bottom-up approaches in design.
CO-CREATION DEMO
Contextualised in sustainable habitat production, this topic problematizes traditional client-contractor modes of exchange through participatory methods, while exploring alternative stakeholder-driven models and how emerging Metaverse tools may assist or fail in the process.
