Paper submission

We ask those who are interested in participating to submit a position paper (1000-2000 words) to ina.wagner@tuwien.ac.at.

The position paper should be based on PD projects or ethnographic studies of design work and should address one or more of the following questions:

  • What kinds of ‘seeing’ are required in different phases of a design project and how do they influence the ‘making’?
  • How does the ‘design material’ influence and shape the process of ‘making’?
  • How does the ‘making’ make some design decisions irreversible; how are other design decisions ‘invisible’, hence not open to scrutiny and debate?
  • How can we understand the vulnerability of designers from including users, their ‘seeing’ and choices in the making?
  • What can we learn from non-technical ways of ‘making’ where users’ influence on the technical implementation is strengthened?
  • What are sources of creativity in PD and how are they linked to the power of the designer?

A more detailed version of the questions is found here.
