A Methodological Approach to the Conceptualisation of a Socio-technical System: A Smart and Collaborative Neighbourhood

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present a three-step methodology to investigate the possibility of developing a conceptual socio-technical system, a smart and collaborative neighbourhood: step1 is based on an inspiring concept (co-housing); step 2 corresponds to reflection on exploratory prototypes; step 3 is a simulation with a role-playing game.
