Abstract

Creating a transdisciplinary space for knowledge creation leads to a question of interest to design – how to act on new knowledge? The ethics of intervention is explored in a research collaboration between cultural and design researchers addressing how residents across “hotspots” in Western Sydney cope with the heat during summer months. The project utilises Gibson-Graham et al’s (2013) theory of commoning – making, sharing and regenerating commons – as a way of cultivating citizen participation in cooling strategies and contributing to the knowledge base about community resilience in Western Sydney.
