Abstract

Co-design workshops seek solutions to complex, multi-stakeholder issues. These ephemeral encounters bring together designers and uninitiated individuals who embark in a facilitated process that mobilizes a range of simplified design tools and methods. Despite co-design's benefits in terms of representation and acceptability, these workshops also come with limitations and often fall short of their intended goals. Proceeding from stylized facts informed by both our experience and the literature, this study investigates why co-design struggles at maintaining engagement and fails to consistently deliver innovative output regardless of the number of participants involved. Namely, we employ a model-building strategy to illuminate the main knowledge dynamics during workshops and to highlight a constrained ‘reactive expansion’ mechanism that explains known co-design's shortcomings. Implications for workshop facilitation and planning are offered in closing.

太有趣了，现在怎么办？建立知识动态模型，解释共同设计的缺陷

共同设计研讨会旨在为复杂的、多方利益相关者的问题寻求解决方案。这些昙花一现的会议将设计师和未曾接触过设计的人聚集在一起，他们在一个简化的设计工具和方法的推动下开始工作。尽管共同设计在代表性和可接受性方面有其优势，但这些研讨会也有其局限性，往往达不到预期目标。本研究从我们的经验和文献所提供的典型事实出发，探讨了为什么无论参与人数多少，协同设计都难以保持参与度，也无法持续提供创新成果。也就是说，我们采用建立模型的策略来阐明研讨会期间的主要知识动态，并强调一种受限的 "被动扩展 "机制，以解释已知的协同设计缺陷。最后，我们还提出了对工作坊促进和规划的启示。

期刊介绍： Design Studies is a leading international academic journal focused on developing understanding of design processes. It studies design activity across all domains of application, including engineering and product design, architectural and urban design, computer artefacts and systems design. It therefore provides an interdisciplinary forum for the analysis, development and discussion of fundamental aspects of design activity, from cognition and methodology to values and philosophy. Design Studies publishes work that is concerned with the process of designing, and is relevant to a broad audience of researchers, teachers and practitioners. We welcome original, scientific and scholarly research papers reporting studies concerned with the process of designing in all its many fields, or furthering the development and application of new knowledge relating to design process. Papers should be written to be intelligible and pertinent to a wide range of readership across different design domains. To be relevant for this journal, a paper has to offer something that gives new insight into or knowledge about the design process, or assists new development of the processes of designing.
