Abstract:

This essay reviews five case studies of participative design processes and for each, aims to illustrate how communication is understood in the process of participative design. Case studies were chosen that used models, metaphors, or games as tools to mediate or facilitate both communication and participation in the design process. Each case study approaches the topics of design, participation, and communication in similar ways, but for differing goals and outcomes. The five case studies are summarized and examined for their individual approaches to design, participation, and communication. Recommendations are offered for why and how an understanding of communication should be included in the critical study of participative design processes.
