Research

Within the Big-Data Informed Urban Design and Governance project, Johannes is in charge of the work stream Citizen Design Science, a research area which emerged in recent years as a necessary area for future urban design decisions. The term Citizen Design Science arises from the three pillars it is built upon. It is referred to as a) Citizen Science which means the participatory aspects and the kind of data collection, b) Citizen Design which implies active design by citizens and c) Design Science which is essential for the translation of citizens’ design proposals into the design of urban designers.
