Anthropology through design

Anthropology through Design is a research approach that uses design as an active tool to understand human culture and social behavior. By observing how people actually use and adapt to this new design, researchers can gain deep cultural knowledge that goes beyond just speculation. In essence, this approach turns design into an instrument for conducting anthropological research.

Unlike traditional anthropology that observes existing situations, this approach proactively creates the conditions to study emerging phenomena, making it possible to observe what people actually do in a new situation.
