The Research Associate projects, 11 in total, wil serve as case-studies for an overarching project run by Bas Raijmakers and Danielle Arets. In this metaproject we will reflect on the case-studies, which we will investigate in a thinking-through-making manner. The results we aim for with this project are communication tools for creative industries in the first place, and Dutch industry and societal organisations secondly.

The thinking-through-making approach we aspire is based on for instance quick iterations, mixing research and design, early prototyping, empathic research and visual narratives. We engage in a continuous literature study to keep up with what others are doing in these areas. If you feel you have something to add to or say about this area, please let us know! And we will add to this body of knowledge by publishing our own work.
