Unfolding Approaches to Design Research: The Orchard and its Occupants

Unfolding Approaches to Design Research: The Orchard and its Occupants

This piece details 'The Orchard and its Occupants', an exhibition at the Melbourne School of Design in November 2023 and a thematic chapter within my PhD research. The piece explores the creative approaches within both the research methodology and post-research communication, both of which are focused on the creation of experiential and empathetic meaning for the viewer/reader, and also on the ability of the work to achieve impact in practice.
