Propositions for a Place-Based Practice: Implicating the Designer in Care and Relationality

2020
This thesis reflects on the role of the designer within a place-based practice, exploring the implications of being knowingly and intentionally embedded within community and building a design practice rooted in relationality and reciprocity. Propositions for a place-based practice emerged from a methodology of material and collaborative making, as examined through three case studies (two completed, one proposed) within Prince George and Vancouver, Canada.
