ASK reimagines social, technical, and environmental issues through the act of questioning. We use design-thinking and applied research to engage, listen, and respond to the needs of regional and global communities. Combining digital and analog tools, ASK creates a venue to more effectively address complex socio-environmental issues by: (1) engaging directly with communities who are not traditionally part of the design process with open questions, (2) responding to these questions with a flexible, interdisciplinary group of professionals, and by (3) generating research and documentation of the process.
