ABSTRACT
'WegenWerken' (RoadWorks) is an ongoing collaboration between multiple stakeholders, focused on the role of soft connections in the city of Genk (Belgium) and guided by the approach of participatory design (PD). Through this project, we engaged with different research and design activities on macro-(city- and region-wide and reflective) and micro- (site-specific and intervention-based) level while working together with the citizens of Genk to explore and map the future of the slow road network. This situated action proposal envisions an exhibition of the research material and design tools produced within these activities, as well an interactive installation which will engage the visitors with the material presented.

Situations and interactions: digital café squatting and participatory design
PDC '10: Proceedings of the 11th Biennial Participatory Design ConferenceThis study begins an exploration into the temporary nesting or squatting experience of people using cafes as physical workspaces. I argue that the way people appropriate--and thereby design--temporary work environments in public places, will be of ...
The role of design fiction in participatory design processes
NordiCHI '18: Proceedings of the 10th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer InteractionParticipatory design is in essence very malleable as any design technique could lend itself to it, as long as users and stakeholders are involved. Design fictions however, have more often been used as either a vehicle for critical designs, or as a sheer ...
