Design Lab
Design Lab is conceptualized as a platform for showcasing collaborative and participatory projects that uphold community engagement through art and creativity. The Project Design Lab is grounded in the belief that each community has an everyday story to tell that shapes its culture and builds a community. The section publishes case studies about projects that use artistic or other innovative methods of community engagement that evoke a participatory experience, generating awareness and capacity building surrounding the issue in focus.
