Designed for co-designers

Abstract

How to design and manage products, services and experiences that are to be completed and built upon by users or customers? How can we design for co-designers? This workshop will bring together examples and studies of recent trends in user generated content, open platforms for exchange of products, ideas and media, end user customization and other open models for innovation [4]. This is a full day workshop that invites case studies, methods, stories and critical analysis on this topic to generate a deeper understanding of its relevance to contemporary participatory design. The discussion will focus on methods, challenges and advantages for intentionally supporting end user innovation through design.
