Engaging residents in pre-development

Carlos, who is looking to develop a new building, is speaking with local residents and showing them a 3D model prototype of the building to co-create the concept, ideate potential use of the space, and gather feedback before finalizing the design.

Making sense of the information

After engaging with residents, Carlos is gathering his observations on sticky notes, interpreting them into insights, and reflecting on the implications of his findings to implement into the design of the building with a focus on resident feedback.
