The Public Design Workshop is a research studio in the Digital Media program in the School of Literature, Communication, and Culture, at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

It’s a pedagogical structure created to explore new ways to teach, learn, and do design within the university.

We often get asked “What is public design?” We are working on a more thorough answer to that question. For the time being…

We explore how design contributes to the construction of publics, articulates contemporary social and political issues, and fosters new forms of public engagement with technology. We do this through speculative design, design research, participatory workshops and events, and theory & criticism.

We are always open to new collaborators.
