Dialogical Model for Participatory Design: A Computational Approach to GroupPlanning

摘要

This study is about the need to generate a method for the structuring of designdialogue for participatory design in a face-to-face design discussion. In participatory design, design concepts are generated collectively through discussion in which the interchange of normative and factual descriptions builds a collective design discourse. The goal of this study is to develop a method to support this collective, face-to-face design problem-solving in order to increase the acceptability of design product. In the current practice of participatory design, a common problem is that of the structuring of design dialogue. In general, no effective methods have been developed to systematically analyze and to construct design dialogue into such formal structures that all parties involved in the discussion can understand and use the structured design dialogue as a tool to future improve the cooperative work.
