Abstract

In this issue, Chiara Del Gaudio accompanies us deep into the processes and methods of co-design, in the sense of Participatory Design. We pay close attention to the debate surrounding the dynamics that have progressively transformed the act of design into a collective act, in this case we might say a collective emotional, political, sensitive and embodied act. As collective intelligence is called upon to be one of the most promising levers in contemporary design, we seek to document what is happening, to study what does not clearly emerge, and encourage constructive discussion and critical assessment. All the more in the case of the perspective offered to us here, which speaks of a certain scientific freshness and originality of approach for which I thank the curator.diid continues along its path to study the moves our broadened discipline is making within the contemporary which are the purview of the Open Debate section, without ever forgetting that the Designrama section continues its open exploration of the research themes suggested by our contributors, always valuable to us and to the international scientific community.
