Civic Interaction Design is an interdisciplinary research group at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. Together with students, designers, technology developers, policymakers, (local) governments, academic researchers, and citizens, we explore how design and technology contribute to societal life.
The experimental project AWE in immersive art for societal transformation brings together experts from art, design, psychology, digital humanities and cultural mediation from across Europe to explore how awe experiences in immersive art are created and how they can be extended to societal transformation.
Step into the future of urban development. We explore the ethical implementation of smart technologies in citizen's urban life within the Human Values for Smarter Cities project.
Explore interactive exhibits that visualize future scenarios of energy transition. Make complex consequences understandable and discussable to residents.
