Co-researching emerging technologies for enhancing urban design

What Role Do Our Co-researchers Play in the Project?
Each co-research session is organised around one central theme, during which the participating spatial design firms not only co-research but also familiarise themselves with emerging technologies and act as representatives for the intended end-users.
The co-research sessions are organised in three phases. First, during the inventory and exploration phase, co-researchers are introduced to the three lines of research, they start collecting reference locations and test the first ‘paper’ prototypes. In the second phase, designers test, analyse and develop preliminary findings; they discuss and enrich initial conclusions. During the third and final phase of deepening and refining, co-researchers reflect on the substantive results of the entire research and discuss the deliverables.
