On How to Add SALT: ‘PLAYGORA’—A Real-World Case Study and Experimentation (Out of the Lab)

Abstract

This contribution presents a real-world case study and experimentation based on the Serendipity, Ambiguity, Laterality and Tangibility (SALT) conceptual architecture. We present early-stage design engineering processes (DEP) coupled with assisted human-machine creativity and directed towards research Out of the Lab in which we engaged public participation during a nine-day public international design event in The Netherlands. The 'Playgora' study and experiment(s) were executed and conducted (i.e. early-stage research) with hybrid design tools (HDTs) and environments (HDTEs) support systems imbued with SALT.
