Building upon ‘projection’ – understood both as an architectural medium for representation and organisation, as well as an act of speculation and imagination - ‘Infrastructures for Participation’ is design-led research exploring the relationship of this concept with the (re)production of identities, behaviours and social relationships in Strijp-S (Eindhoven). Although there has been renewed interest in approaching design and design practices from queer and feminist frameworks in recent years, there is still little specific work developed in the field of architecture and critical examinations of automated data collection, algorithmic decision-making, and remote control of physical space. Furthermore, within this media—architecture, there is a lack of agency to directly engage, object and transform these systems from the level of citizens.
