ECHO Tool
Tiny Tool
2021
ECHO is a tiny tool that makes collaboration tangible.

GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Today, we often work seperated from each other across space and time, which can make online collaboration feel more ephemeral and less empathic. By imagining a collaborative project as a mountain that grows over time, ECHO makes it more tangible: we can reflect on our own position, map our collective paths onto it and be more aware of our team members’ wellbeing.
ECHO tries not to prescribe what constitutes a successful collaboration. But as a companion tool to a group project it can help to express the needs and values for how to work together. With a shared view on the project we can take better care of it and each other.

ECHO was developed during the research project Co-Lab, an open project at the Masterstudio Design / Institute Integrative Design, FHNW Academy of Art and Design in Basel. The project was funded by the Lehrfonds FHNW HGK.
