Information, Inspiration and Co-creation
Elizabeth Sanders · 2005
We are experiencing today the co-evolution of two distinct approaches to human-centered design research in practice: research that informs the design development process and research that inspires the design development process. Research that informs the design development process has been evolving for many years and is by now well established. Thus, this paper will describe the patterns leading to the emergence of research that inspires the design development process. It will also describe the design spaces (i.e., consuming, experiencing, adapting and co-creating) that are emerging at the intersection of the co-evolution.
