Hi everyone,
I’m a PhD student at TU/e in the Netherlands. I’m an urban planner turned design researcher in Industrial Design. My PhD looks at the design of citymaking platforms that empower citizens, and specifically at the potential for platforms of various kinds to foster stronger place-identity relations.
So, in this hack, what I’m really interested in, is looking at how we can use play and games, as particularly interactive and appropriative media, for generating empathy and spatial relatedness amongst players. In other words, how can we design playful platforms that facilitate meaningfulness and caring, and connect people to urban issues that they’re geographically removed from.
All ideas and collaborations are welcome!
