Samar Sabie

I am an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Communication, Culture, Information and Technology at the University of Toronto where I direct the Open Design Collaboratory. I also hold a graduate appointment at the Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Design, and Landscape. My research investigates the role design as a socio-material practice can play in how communities develop an adaptive capacity towards sustainable change. My research draws on my multidisciplinary training in architecture, software engineering, ethnography, and philosophy.
