Placemaking in Winters College project - Pre-research presentations

Masters in Design (MDes) students have been working on placemaking for Winters college project this semester. They are using Design research methods to understand experiences of people affiliated with Winters college. I have developed a toolkit in collaboration with Mimamsa from YUFA grant, which the students have been using to inform each of the following steps in their research process:

  • pre-research information collection
  • Research activity
  • Data synthesis
  • Co-creation session

The students presented their pre-research work this week.

The research data collection process was piloted in the class and the students will now spend one week to collect data from 5 identified participants.
