Linda Hirsch

Research

My research focuses on the interaction design at public, urban places with a particular focus on cultural sites and cultural heritage. This includes the exploration of urban materials and the development of design strategies for embedding interfaces outdoors. The main motivation is hereby to find solutions to enrich and revive city history and art and to increase the socio-spatial relationship between shared places and users.
