Architasker supports structured community participation in design
Get residents engaged, leverage the collective intelligence, and invest in a community.
Short Overview
Architasker is a design management and participation platform for architecture and urban design projects. It helps project teams organize stakeholder input, design alternatives, and feedback loops across different stages of a participatory process.
The software enables community members to review proposals, respond to focused design questions, and contribute ideas that can be translated into design requirements. It is intended to broaden access to information and reduce barriers related to language, professional knowledge, and participation logistics.
By providing a platform for dialogue and ongoing feedback, Architasker supports more transparent planning processes. It helps design teams document how stakeholder input is collected, interpreted, and considered during decision-making.
The platform is part of the lab’s broader research on collective intelligence in architectural design: how many partial contributions, evaluations, and discussions can be organized into useful design knowledge.
