The function of co-creation in dynamic mechanism of intersubjectivity formation among individuals

Abstract

This study aims to elucidate the dynamic mechanism of formation process of intersubjectivity among individuals in various contexts: how a design process affects formation of intersubjectivity among individuals involved and also their co-creativity, motivation toward realization of the co-designed concept. The authors have defined key terms and proposed methodologies to evaluate fundamental factors of co-creation dynamics, intersubjectivity, context, and co-creativity. Then to examine them, an experimental study was conducted concerning the type of collaborative design process.
