can cultural probes access the 'potential space'?
Benevolent Spaces
Benevolent spaces is a research into the interaction between physical, exterior spaces and mental, interior spaces. The Digital Probe Kit (see below for excerpt) was developed to elicit the quality of this interaction in the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, with design students. Through exercises which show appropriation and perception, the participants reflected on their own relationship with their workspace. This brought about new insights on three different levels. Firstly on individual reflection, secondly on spatial benevolence, and lastly about the value and theory of cultural probes in design.
