While the tensions that commoning processes entail are relatively well reported, the trade-offs that community organisations have to make to enable wider access to such resources is still not as well understood. This is particularly the case when resources or community services are accessed through ICTs. To more closely examine such questions of access, we worked with several types of community organisations engaging in commoning practices in one of the most deprived regions of the United Kingdom during the Covid-19 pandemic. Through semi-structured interviews and a participatory workshop, we uncovered how, during Covid-19, such organisations struggled to configure access to community resources in ways that maintained their participatory and inclusive character, while also protecting them from degradation. Additionally, our findings point to the trade-offs that community organisations had to make in selecting the ICTs to use for remote work during the pandemic. While open-source technologies would have been their preferred option as opposed to software from tech companies, which they perceived as ‘unethical’, adopting open-source tools presented additional barriers and ‘costs’, such as the lack of familiarity, the need for training and the lack of staff for configuration, maintenance and support. Such findings prompt us to critically re-examine the processes through which we can scaffold the use of open-source tools in values-driven organisations. This entails both the need to financially support these organisations exploring alternatives to proprietary technologies, and to design technologies that can support an easier transition to open-source adoption.","PeriodicalId":255274,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Participatory Design Conference 2022 - Volume 2","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114841216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The project explores how forests and forest data can be produced, thought of and engaged with otherwise, in co-creative ways that consider perspectives of diverse forest creatures and reach beyond geo-engineering, techno-solutionist perspectives. In this Situated Action, we build on our previous Open Forest activities organized in different parts of the world and take an experimental, hybrid walk in a local forest area in Newcastle followed by a co-creation of forest stories. Through these engagements, we hope to entangle the existing, mostly quantitative forests datasets with more messy and abstract data to question the currently available understandings about the forest as a resource to be used. Our aim is to support collective imagination and care-full sustainability actions towards flourishing more-than-human futures.","PeriodicalId":255274,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Participatory Design Conference 2022 - Volume 2","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124389031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article proposes to shift focus; from trying to change suburbia, to trying to steer the suburban dwelling dream. Our main argument is that such a shift would require making visible how dwelling cultures interdepend. We will discuss how we relied on patterns to start ‘expanding’ this interdependency and how the participatory development of a suburban pattern language helps to support this process of expansion.","PeriodicalId":255274,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Participatory Design Conference 2022 - Volume 2","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115949385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The idea is to coordinate the local seminar »Participatory Design in Cities« (summer term 2022) for students to share their PD experiences and projects related to PD in urban planning. Using the infrastructure and facilities of the Leuphana University the seminar takes place at the campus and is meant for students from different disciplines. Guest lectures by project partners and joint discussions invite participants to reflect on the role of urban actors and to engage with relationships between theoretical concepts of PD and urban practice.

Using examples from a single participatory design initiative, the paper illustrates how attending to the specifics of individual material utterances, and relating them to the speaker/maker's intent, provides a useful perspective for reflection on our practice.","PeriodicalId":255274,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Participatory Design Conference 2022 - Volume 2","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115497131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
