SpacePlay: Gamified Co-Creation for Sustainable Neighborhoods
Lecturer at Atlantic Technological University
Ireland
About
We are looking for a project partners and a consortium lead interested in working with us on the development of an innovative co-creation methodology that uses gamified interaction to involve communities directly in shaping inclusive and climate-resilient public spaces. Rather than consultation, participants actively explore spatial trade-offs through structured digital and material engagement tools that make accessibility, safety, biodiversity, and climate adaptation visible and understandable within the design process.
Atlantic Technological University’s School of Design and Creative Arts provides a distributed creative innovation platform spanning both urban and rural contexts in western Ireland. From our Galway City campus, we contribute expertise in digital creative practice, immersive media, animation, and participatory design supported by advanced studio, XR, and prototyping infrastructure that enables multisensory evaluation and co-creation methods aligned with the call.
We have built out a potential project plan around this WP which can be seen in the attached documents
