Workshop Description

In this workshop, we will venture into the current state of co-design for imagining and creating smart objects and services within the context of “the home”. Together with a diverse group of workshop participants, we will use a curated set of three co-design methods and toolkits to imagine smart objects and services for the smart home. Collectively, participants get the opportunity to reflect on the implicit assumptions, goals, and values backed into the co-design methods and toolkits. This helps us to articulate desiderata beyond standard solutions for the self-contained habitat of cost-efficient consumers, and instead appreciate the contingent and idiosyncratic needs and expectations enveloping “the home”. In particular, we will critically inquire about the eurocentric perspective of the available co-design methods and toolkits. In response, we will collectively explore and interrogate goals and values of co-design for “the home” from a non-Western perspective. In what follows, we give a short overview on what to expect in the workshop: 1) a background of the topic; 2) aim of the workshop; participants expected & methods employed; 3) a thematic link to the conference; 4) expected outcome; 5) prior experience of each workshop organizer with short bio.
