Abstract

This demo paper explores how hands-on, analogue design approaches—specifically, working with clay and stoneware—can serve as material explorations of situations of crisis, in this case the future of hybrid work. We demonstrate how creative practices can help surface both tensions and opportunities, inspire new research directions, and offer tangible ways of communicating the evolving complexities, challenges, and hopes.
