  3. “Community design is based on the principle that the environment works better if the people affected by its changes are actively involved in its creation and management” - Henry Sanoff

  4. Community-based design for everyday life involves…. • Getting to know the user: • User desires, motives • Where the user lives, works, etc: • Environment (surroundings) • Context: • Immediate and implied • Improvisation: • Situated action

  5. … it’s a change of teaching perspective • Design as community-based collaboration • contrast teaching “designing for an end-user community” and • teaching “design as a community of users, designers and other • stakeholders • ‘Bubble’ studios vs studio in the ‘real world’ • Using qualitative methods to explore users’ “lived experience” • Observation + Phenomenological analysis (T.Poldma) • Fieldwork (M.Wesolkowska) • Critical design • Reflexive designer
