Abstract
This article discusses some potential use scenarios of remote participatory workshops by using digital
communication tools. This presentation proposes an online design workshop procedure driven by spatial data
by using the Internet online whiteboard system (eg. MURAL) and remote conference system (eg. ZOOM). We
show a case study of the design workshop entitled “a discovery of issues in commercial buildings ”, which are
conducted by multiple teams consisting of 4-5 participants. In this workshop program, participants attempt to
explain characteristics of places based on spatial data and observations and find insights for problem-solving. We
report that the use of digital tools in the design workshops enables us to records our behavior in real-time, share
information visually, and produce digital outcomes and materials easily.
