abstract = "An AHRC funded research project titled Experimenting with the Co-experience Environment (June 2005 – June 2006) culminated in a physical environment designed in resonance with a small group of participants. The participants emerged from different disciplines coming together as a group to share their expertise and contribute their knowledge to design. They engaged in storytelling, individual and co-thinking, creating and co-creating, sharing ideas that did not require justification, proposed designs even though most were not designers …and played. The research questioned how a physical environment designed specifically for co-experiencing might contribute to new knowledge in design? Through play and by working in action together the participants demonstrated the potential of a physical co-experience environment to function as a scaffold for inter-disciplinary design thinking,saying, doing and making (Ivey & Sanders 2006). Ultimately the research questioned how this outcome might influence our approach to engaging participants in design research and experimentation?",

Dundee: Visual Research Centre, Dundee Contemporary Arts (see www.vrc.dundee.ac.uk) and www.creativekit.co.uk, a website launched in June 2006 to disseminate the research project process and outcomes. In collaboration with Professor Tom Inns the research outcomes from the Co-experience Environment were mapped alongside the outcomes of Prof Inns' AHRC funded research 'Designing the 21st century: Interdisciplinary Discussion and Synthesis in a Shared Environment'. The collaboration resulted in an exhibition titled 'Theatres for Thinking'.
