Branded Meeting Places: Ubiquitous Technologies and the Design of Places for Meaningful Human Encounter

This was the principle overview describing work from the major project 'Branded Meeting Spaces' funded by the cross Research Council AHRC/EPSRC 'Designing for the 21st Century' Research Cluster. We developed the methodology of 'Research by Design'. We set briefs based on theoretical and practical interests, then co-designed interventions to explore these issues and reflect on the design outcomes. Originality: The principle of 'research by design' as a way to explore to unfolding of cultural meaning with technology using rapid design interventions with stakeholder and designers was novel at the time of publications. Impact: As one of the projects chosen for the 'Designing for the 21st Century' AHRC/EPSRC major cross council initiative, our work was part of snap shot of high quality research in the UK on design.
