Building Up: An Ethnographic Approach to Campus Planning for Climate Jake Culbertson (25138651) Bryanna Benicia (25138658) Scott Cryer (25138659) Anthropology Climate futures Climate adaptation Design thinking Iterative ethnography Community design <p dir="ltr">Our ethnographic practice rarely stops with documenting perspectives. In conjunction with Design Thinking methodologies, ethnography becomes a mode of invention (not just discovery, cf. Venkatesan et al. 2013), devising concepts that invite workshop participants to push past assumptions and imagine freely. This iterative feedback loop enables ethnography-driven design to build up over time. The outcome is a more incisive, thoughtful, community-grounded design. But along the way, it builds rapport enabling honest exchanges, creative confidence to tackle challenges, and visions for the future—even decades down the road, in different environmental conditions—that guide present work.</p> 2026-09-29T19:22:43Z Text Journal contribution 10.57912/34027392 https://figshare.com/articles/journal_contribution/Building_Up_An_Ethnographic_Approach_to_Campus_Planning_for_Climate/34027392 CC BY 4.0
