Designing a life situation tool in co-creativity: Proposal for a tool adapted to Fablabs

Abstract

Today, in user-centred design, the user is integrated alongside the design team. In our work, we propose to go further and to integrate the user in the phases of co-creativity. Indeed, the user could be considered an expert of his life situation, so that his participation in all phases of the product design process is also essential. We propose to explore the very specific world of FabLabs. In particular, we will ask how to enable design experts and Makers to work around the life situation. We propose to apply user-centred methodologies to design a life situation tool in co-creativity.
