To ensure a community-centered approach, SOUR kicked off the co-design process with ethnographic research in the cities of Antakya, Samandağ, Serinyol, and Defne Harbiye throughout October 2023, conducting interviews with 60+ locals with diverse cultures and socio-economic backgrounds. We have worked with psychologists, anthropologists, and trauma experts closely to enable a co-design process that is trauma-informed and responsible. The sociological and design insights obtained from the field research developed into a report and documentary for the collaboration group.
Throughout field research, we identified a co-creation panel, representative of diverse stakeholder groups, to continue co-design process through ideations and preliminary concept feedback. Such an approach is significant for us to genuinely reflect the vision of the city’s inhabitants and honor the region’s history.
