His research area is in design methodology and specifically on collabora­tive and participatory design-lead research where academics, professionals, and citizens co-produce. He currently researches on how archives can be made more open, democratic and aesthetically engaging through The Living Archive project as well as how cultural institutions can engage in audience engagement through the Designing Musical Experience project. In January 2014 he will start working on the art- and design-lead research project City Fables that focuses on the relationship between space and narratives as well as what it can mean to work in creative group processes across art and design genres and together with citizens in collective making.
