New Approach to Architecture
summary
A participatory architecture experiment replaces top-down decisions with a one-slide advice process rule: anyone can decide after seeking advice from those affected and from experts. The session runs via QR forms, small groups and facilitators who synthesize responses, collecting 424 submissions live and promising Creative Commons data. Feedback is concrete: trust, accountability, expert identification, time cost and psychological safety are recurring concerns, while some teams report increased cross-functional alignment and practical ideas to build confidence.
