Workshops
create community
Our workshops are tailored processes to help determine the right course for your specific project. We start with addressing the human need, identifying the problem at hand, revealing the story of place, always looking at multiple vantage points and finally ideating designed solutions. The outcome will be a roadmap to enable you to enhance value in your project, which can be refined into a proposal to bring your overall vision to market.
Virtual and in person workshop options are available.
Through a tailored process, we address the following challenges inherent within conventional development processes:
the creative part of the process often starts after the project’s definition.
the vision does not meet the reality and the project’s benefits do not extend to the intended audience.
the design exercise is limited to a form/shape discussion.
the development approach does not capitalize on broader off-site synergies and wider human impacts.
it is inflexible to new approaches and heightened forms of value creation.
there is a lack of understanding about the human interface.
During our proprietary workshop, you can expect to:
-
evaluate the context
city, neighbourhood, street, community.
-
broaden the value spectrum
include outside contributors to maximize their value to the project.
-
identify the market need
understand how and when to intervene and where value can be created or redirected.
-
create the human-centered story
that will form the backbone of multi-faceted, user experiences, focusing on the journey, not the final outcome.
-
engage community
identify synergies, reframing passive stakeholders as active ‘consumers’ in the process.
-
conceptualize the prototype for place
examine strategies and experiences that will transform the places.
-
re-evaluate and refine
look at scenarios for how the place might evolve and can retain its value over time.
-
create a customized roadmap
for eventual scaling / build-out of interventions.
