Motivation
I dedicate my work to the development of new forms of design work through design-oriented participation.
In my work as a landscape architect, I have experienced that neighbourhoods, parks, squares or villages that emerge through co-creative processes become important places for sustainable development in public space.
Design-oriented planning methods invite people to combine creativity, cognitive skills, body experience and emotions. In this way, more can be learned about the narratives of a place that give rise to appropriate ideas. I am convinced that design-oriented forms of participation involving all stakeholders lead to coherent solutions that make spatial, social and economic sense.
