Reviews

Essential reading for those devising participatory methods in spatial design. Groat and Dodig have choreographed an inspiring primer on the theory and practice of design games, leaving space for the reader to continue to play. Rosie Parnell, Professor of Architecture, Northumbria University Playing, especially with objects, creates an inclusive, safe space for participants to be themselves, erase barriers, and collaborate not compete with each other. It raises their consciousness of the built environment to understand their attachment to place, realize they are their own experts, and why planning matters. James Rojas, Founder, Place It!
