A systematic literature review of participatory design studies involving teachers
2021
2020
Abstract Principles and practices of open science at universities are evolving. Increasing use and application of digital technologies and platforms in research and innovation are pushing universities to take up and develop new visions and principles for how research and innovation are performed. These open science policies and practices (i.e. open data sharing, open access publishing, open repositories, open physical labs, participatory design, and transdisciplinary research platforms) are expanding the ethos of science and innovation at universities. These new principles and practices of open science at universities are also triggering novel open innovation practices by university researc…
Mappe della contemporaneità. Visualizzare la complessità per vivere, comprendere, partecipare.
2020
Si propone una riflessione sulle modalità di visualizzazioni della complessità di contesti territoriali, rese possibili dalle tecnologie dell’informazione connesse agli open data; uno scenario che evidenzia la rilevanza oggi di strumenti e competenze del design della comunicazione e dell’informazione, proponendo una nuova centralità della “mappa”, strumento e modello contemporaneamente di conoscenza, rappresentazione e trasformazione del mondo. Il contributo indaga come le diverse declinazioni di visual mapping, che connettono un contesto reale fisico-geografico ai molteplici livelli di informazione disponibili, possono alimentare nei cittadini consapevolezza e partecipazione a supporto di …
A design framework and principles for co-designing learning environments fostering learning and wellbeing
2018
Increased understanding of the complex synergetic influences of psychosocial and physical learning environments (LEs) on learning and wellbeing has drawn attention to their careful design. Contemporary learner-centred educational paradigms emphasise the importance of learner involvement in the LE design. A gap exists, however, between the theoretical discourses of LE design and their application into educational practice. Furthermore, a lack of shared conceptual understanding among studies conducted in different cultural and disciplinary contexts undermines the comparability, generalisability, and build-up of a coherent body of knowledge on the LE design. This educational design research re…
Involving students in the redesign of learning environments conducive to learning and wellbeing
2014
Increased understanding of the interrelations between overall wellbeing and learning calls for a holistic and multidisciplinary learning environment (LE) design. Considering learners’ perception in the design of LE supportive to learning and wellbeing is expected to positively influence (a) the design quality, (b) participatory organizational culture, and (c) learning. The nature of this process creates contradictions and difficulties, however. Stand-alone co-design efforts may convert into pseudo-consultation without actual effects; neither is it easy to consider various stakeholders’ perceptions in a balanced manner. And if not planned carefully, instead of experiencing learning benefits,…
Storie di oggetti (e di sogni) perduti. Musei contemporanei per ritrovarsi
2022
What happens to humanity discarded by history? To the broken dreams (of love and life)?What to do with the objects that fill our life as "fragile ruins" of a dream lost forever? The article, looking at various contemporary projects of permanent museums and temporary exhibitions, intends to outline and lead a reflection on the radical paradigm change that intervenes in the exhibition processes and in the strategies of emotional engagement within contemporary museological policies. Conceived as places of encounter and relationship, museums are open to communities and individual stories. In particular, the emotion of lost guided the constitution of collections of objects, in a series of exhibi…

Design For Territorial Innovation. Participatory design process and good practices for socio-cultural sustainability
2022
This article studies at length the role of design within territorial socio-cultural transformation. It investigates and describes the industriousness of projects/processes which are particularly effective for social and territorial innovation and are applied above all, to fragile and problematic urban contexts. It focuses on communities and its inhabitants who are often excluded from traditional narrative through some particularly significant projects, with an emphasis on concrete experiences of recent projects in southern Italy. Thus, the article, traverses topics and critical points of a more extensive and profound disciplinary refection, it explores innovative roles of design in the soci…
Semi-automatic literature mapping of participatory design studies 2006--2016
2018
The paper presents a process of semi-automatic literature mapping of a comprehensive set of participatory design studies between 2006--2016. The data of 2939 abstracts were collected from 14 academic search engines and databases. With the presented method, we were able to identify six education-related clusters of PD articles. Furthermore, we point out that the identified clusters cover the majority of education-related words in the whole data. This is the first attempt to systematically map the participatory design literature. We argue that by continuing our work, we can help to perceive a coherent structure in the body of PD research.
