CODESIGNExperts and Non-Experts Working Together in the Design

Development Process

Codesign“The Creativity of Designers and

People Not Trained in Design Working Together in the Design

Development Process”- Elizabeth Sanders

CoDesign is Profoundly Democratic

It enables the ideas of non-designers to be transmitted in designerly ways

to broader audiences, helping laypeople to communicate their vision for future technologies.

Central Design Problem

If ordinary people are a crucial part of the participatory design process, then why aren’t we sharing our research findings with them?

Central Design Problem

The growBot Symposium was conducted by a public university, supported in part by public funding.

Why isn’t publicly-funded research freely available to the public?

* Supported in Part by National Science Foundation Grant #ISE-0741685

Central Design ProblemWe live in the age ofdigital communications ... why aren’t we using these tools ?

What role can digital media play in suggesting new tools to talk about codesign?
