Prototyping
Developing and testing design solutions through models, mockups, and experimental builds.
Prototyping is the process of creating tangible representations of design ideas to explore feasibility, functionality, and user experience. Designers use prototypes to test concepts, gather feedback, and refine solutions before full implementation.Community members prototype across scales and contexts, from furniture and housing systems to urban interventions and climate adaptation strategies. Work ranges from small-scale tactical installations to architectural solutions addressing housing density, migrant worker needs, and environmental challenges.
