Concepting for a Smart City: a masterclass focussed on a human centred approach for the cities of tomorrow

Co-hosted withGert Frankeat the Graphic Matters festival in Breda on 2 October 2019, this one-day masterclass taught creative professionals how to prototype citizen-centred applications for smart city contexts, combining sensor technology, data visualisation, and human-centred design methods. It gave participants both the conceptual framing and the hands-on technical experience to tackle real urban problems.

A retrospective write-up was published on the Sensor Lab Medium publication on 11 December 2019, reflecting on how the masterclass was designed and run.
