Co-Creation

To transform our environment into a more resilient and inclusive one, we have developed three strategies: Co-Creation, Circular Architecture and Common Space. Here we present a short guideline to Co-Creation.

Our Co-Creation strategy builds on cooperation rather than competition. It strengthens democratic, participatory decision-making processes by bringing together different stakeholders to enable socially just, informed planning through new participation formats.

 

Our contribution to the solution:
Our most direct contribution is the way we build our own company:  Mostlikely is organized as an open, flexible platform for architecture, design and research. Thus, the work presented on the platform emerges in various constellations and corporate structures: from the classically organized architecture firm, to interdisciplinary work formats to open associations.

This multifaceted cosmos enables a processual way of working and is enriched by project-specific collaborations and a broad exchange with external experts.

 

 

CO-CREATION GUIDELINE

 

Step_1: From problem to potential!

 

  • exponentially growing knowledge
  • outdated idea of „all-knowing“ generalist
  • immaterial sphere
  •  

  • swarm intelligence
  • many achieve a lot
  • Sharing of competences and responsibilities
  • creative atmosphere at work
  • From universal scholars in the past to exponentially growing knowledge today

     

     

    Step_2: Synergies create innovations 

     

  • monitoring and mapping of local potentials and innovations
  • monitoring and mapping of local actors
  • creation of a local network for collaboration
  •  

    Monitoring of local potentials and actors

     

     

    Step_3: Collaborative Process

     

  • Put together an interdisciplinary team
  • define the rules for collaboration
  • Establish an open working process
  • Benefit from digital and analogue tools
  •  

    Digital and analogue tools for a collaborative process

     

     

    Step_4: Common decision-making

     

  • create common goals by using impact models
  • evaluate decisions and solutions by using impact indicators
  •  

    Impact model and impact indicators as part of a common decision-making structure

     

     

    Step_5: Open Design Formats

     

  • make the process acessible
  • actively involve stakeholders
  • develop specific working methods
  •
