It has been applied across domains through a variety of different approaches. This article reviews exist-ing approaches to PLT application and reflects upon the differences between them. We find that application generally differs across four components: artefact, activity, roles and tools, informed by practitioners’ diverging values and needs. We elaborate on how consciously navigating the dimensions that these components consist of can help to broaden the application of PLT in practice. We report on the development of a set of conceptual tools that aim to support this process. The resulting “activity kit” has been applied in a Dutch housing renovation project to support homeowners in communication and decision‐making to illustrate the applicability of our methodology. It can be concluded that the “activity kit” is a promising approach to broaden the use of PLT and contributes to the methodological repertoire of researchers and practitioners to address complexity in today’s societal challenges.","action repertoire; design methodology; housing renovation; literature synthesis; pattern language theory","en","journal article","","","","","","","","","","","Methodologie en Organisatie van Design","","",""

While a data ecosystem is technically able to collect and merge their different datasets, it is yet relatively unable to facilitate meaningful forms of collaboration between actors. Based on previous research on value creation in data ecosystems, we hypothesize that this inability is mainly due to ecosystems not reflecting actor values, i.e. aspects which are important and imply a desirable behavior, often related to goals, objectives, motivations and decision making. This paper therefore proposes a reflective approach to reveal the values in data-driven collaboration by answering the following research questions: What role do values play in the process of developing a data ecosystem? And how can value-led participatory design support data-driven collaboration? We attempt to answer these questions through an exploratory study based on 5 interviews with consortium members of a garden data ecosystem currently in development around a citizen science initiative in Flanders, Belgium. We discovered that the explicit use of values and frictions has the potential to augment the collaboration between actors. This approach can thus be useful to future practitioners who aim to expand the societal impact of their work.","Citizen science; data ecosystem; data platform; data-driven collaboration; reflective participatory design; values","en","conference paper","Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)","","","","","","","","","","Design Conceptualization and Communication","","",""

(TU Delft Design Conceptualization and Communication); Buckenmayer, M.B. (Student TU Delft); Murphy, Ryan J.A. (Memorial University of Newfoundland)","","2022","Scaling is a motif describing the proportionate growth of innovation. Over the past decade, scholars have adapted the original idea of scaling from business to differentiate different ways to scale that are more appropriate in the context of social innovation. Scaling is sometimes thought of as a panacea: it is the end result, purpose, or answer to what we are trying to achieve. However, scaling remains ill-defined in systems change: we do not have a commonly agreed-upon
language for what we are scaling, where we are scaling, or how we are scaling change in social systems. Instead, systemic designers refer to a mix of jargon from (social) innovation, design, systemic change, and/or transition design.
Although these fields share similar ambitions for scaling, we argue that systemic designers need advanced scaling strategies for systemic innovation. The complexity of issues addressed by systemic design requires a better understanding of how scaling systems change happens and demands building capabilities for designing for these different dimensions and directions of scale. The context of the study is a Master-level course building the capacity designers need to understand when maturing systemic social innovations. Students demonstrated a richness in their scaling strategies distinguishing different dimensions and layers of scale. The current work unfolds dimensions of scaling and scaling strategies necessary for systemic scaling and elaborates upon a 2 multi-level framework for scaling literacy. We conclude with a call for scaling literacy to further advance systemic design’s methodological practices and expand the capabilities and action repertoire of future generations of systemic designers.","design capabilities; design curricula; scaling literacy; scaling strategies; social innovation; systems change; systemic impact","en","conference paper","Systemic Design Association","","","","","","","","","","Design Conceptualization and Communication","","",""

Yet, to transition towards a circular economy on a societal level requires going beyond new product and market-based opportunities. To enable societal level change, ecosystem-level innovations are important and so collaboration plays a key role. Cities are considered in this paper as hubs of innovation playing a key role in transitioning to a circular economy. They are responsible for 80% of global resource consumption, with a high concentration of capital, data and talent spread over a relatively small geographic area; making them an important part of societal level transitions. The current work stresses the need to understand and support collaborations in transitioning towards a circular economy. This paper explores what factors influence collaborations and how organizations collaborate for a circular economy in the context of cities. An initial literature review resulted in a framework for exploration, which informed the set-up of the questionnaire. This helped in conducting semi-structured interviews with people ranging from founders, designers to engineers from six circular start-ups, which operate and utilize the resources in cities; to understand how different organisations collaborate in cities. Results showed they focus on operationalizing their innovation through engagement with various stakeholders. As they increased their visibility in cities showcasing their value, increasing the ways and number of engagements, the organisation engaged with people and organisations having similar values and grew by scaling through engagement. This paper elaborates the idea of scaling through engagement as a way for circular organisations to scale.","Circular Economy; Cities; Collaboration; Engagement; Scaling Innovation","en","conference paper","University of Limerick","","","","","","","","","","Design for Sustainability","","",""

With the premise that transformative capacity can be co-created to overcome such scaling challenges, the current work addresses the identified gap in scaling bottom-up initiatives into locally embedded ecosystems. While how to diffuse such practices across contexts is not straightforward, we introduce a three-phased approach enabling knowledge exchange and easing collaboration across cultures and ecosystems.

Despite the research efforts, sustaining innovation and operationalizing transitions still remains a barely explored field. The pragmatic step from understanding towards doing is often not made explicit in the literature. In fact, it results in an unclear and vague grip on how to operationalize these understandings, or differently put on how to make this understanding pragmatic. In the current article, we conducted an integrative literature review using human-centeredness lenses that informs the so-called ‘Human-Dimension’ framework. We argue that adding the Human-Dimension to the existing models for analysis, such as the Multi-Level Perspective framework, might clarify the different meanings that emerge within the network of actors in a transition, and knowing how to translate those individual meanings towards a collective construction of meaning might be enabled. To illustrate the framework’s contribution, we applied it to the context of a local sustainable development project. The results show how human-centeredness could serve as a domain to make the Human-Dimension of sustainable transitions actionable.","Actionable; Human-centeredness; Human-dimension; Multi-level perspective; Sustainable innovation; Sustainable transitions","en","journal article","","","","","","","","","","","Design Conceptualization and Communication","","",""

A participatory design approach has been selected to co-create a learning environment for building design capabilities. In other words, a safe space that allows for sharing and nurturing knowledge, skills and attitudes. The setup of the participatory process entails a thorough exploration, in which a team of seven public managers of a regional association of municipalities participated. In four participatory sessions, a learning space has been iteratively prototyped, and finally evaluated in the context. Advantages and challenges to the selected approach are discussed to provide guidelines for a practical

These initiatives aim to address both sustainability and liveability goals. Our research shows that in order to have these initiatives contribute to the overall municipal goal on sustainability and liveability, the municipality needs to take different roles. Whereas traditional open innovation literature usually distinguishes three main types of open innovation, namely outside-in, inside-out, and coupled processes, the current study shows that open innovation for sustainability in the city needs a much more fine-grained and elaborate perspective; a multi-level open innovation model that allows for different co-creative partnerships joining forces in sustainability challenges.

As such, ULLs are supposed to offer an arena for reflexive, adaptive, and multi-actor learning environments, where new practices of self-organization and novel (infra-) structures can be tested within their real-world context. Yet, it remains understudied how the co-creation of knowledge and practices actually takes place within ULLs, and how co-creation unfolds their impacts. Hence, this paper focuses on co-creation dynamics in urban living labs, its associated learning and knowledge generation, and how these possibly contribute to urban sustainability transitions. We analyzed empirical data from a series of in-depth interviews and were
actively involved with ULLs in the Rotterdam-The Hague region in the Netherlands. Our findings show five distinct types of co-creation elements that relate to specific dynamics of participation, facilitation, and organization.

The second aspect involves multidisciplinary alignment during collaborations and peer-learning within a maker community, performed in teams encompassing complementary skills.

(editor)","2017","Although food has been circular by nature, the current food supply chain has turned into an unfortunate linear system. The challenges of transitioning towards a sustainable food eco-system requires radical changes and new perspectives, where things are done differently. Starting with related work in the field of design for product longevity, the current work explores the role of design in developing food systems on eco-systemic level that work as efficient as possible, and create a world without waste. Eight local initiatives in Rotterdam have been studied. From the lessons learned, nine strategies were formulated. Although these strategies seem to work well and are promising starting points for innovation, it remains difficult to build sustainable business models around these strategies that can be scaled and sustained. Initiatives oftentimes keep struggling with the current system and finding the proper scale for their business. It can be
concluded that design promises to play an important role in accelerating this transition towards a circular and future-proof food system.","Design for sustainability; Emerging initiatives; Food; Product longevity; TransitionS","en","conference paper","IOS Press","","","","","","","","","","Education and Student Affairs","","",""

The design of the (app based) public service as well as the interpretation of the data is done for them. The organization of local hackathons can promote citizens’ data literacy and better use of available
Open Data for service transformation purposes. This promises to nicely combine citizen intelligence with participatory innovation with and by public service beneficiaries as the “next wave” of inclusive (e-)Government practice. In the proposed workshop, we simulate the
organization and dynamics of a Hackathon based on the evidence at hand.","hackathons; Open Data; public service innovation; inclusive Government; citizen participation","en","conference paper","Danube University Krems","","","","","","","","","","Design Conceptualization and Communication","","",""

(TU Delft Design Conceptualization and Communication); Mulder, I. (TU Delft Design Conceptualization and Communication)","","2016","This document aims to bring together snippets from the Prototyping Citizen Engagement workshop that happened at the Design and the City conference in Amsterdam, on 22 April 2016.
We wish to have this document be a summary of the workshop, consisting of snapshots of the discussions that went into several directions along citizen engagement, the role of the government, how to scale up interventions, how to foster systemic change and so forth.
The about 20 people present at the workshop offered diverse perspectives on the agenda. The debates along certain topics were sometimes heated or controversial, but “moderate provocation” did trigger further depth in reflection.
This document is not aimed at being conclusive, but to be a goto
reference to recap what happened during the workshop. Last, but not least, we would like to thank again the participants who had been at the workshop and played along with us. We learned a lot, and we hope that you did too.","","en","book","Delft University of Technology","","","","","","","","","","Design Conceptualization and Communication","","",""

(TU Delft Design Conceptualization and Communication)","","2015","Today architecture has to design for rapidly changing futures, in a citizen-centered way. That is, architecture needs to embrace meaningful design. Societal challenges ask for a new paradigm in city-making, which combines top-down public management with bottom-up social innovation to reach meaningful design. The biggest challenge is indeed to embrace a new collaborative attitude, a participatory approach, and to have the proper infrastructure that supports this social fabric. Participatory design and transition management are future-oriented, address people and institutions. Only through understanding people in context and the corresponding dynamics, one is able to design for liveable and sustainable urban environments, embracing the human scale.","Peer-lijst tijdschrift","en","journal article","","","","","","Special issue on Teaching and making architecture today.","","","","","Design Conceptualization and Communication","","",""

(TU Delft Design Conceptualization and Communication)","","2015","In the current work, we introduce Applab as a pedagogical
framework and a transdisciplinary design approach to innovate HCI education.
Students do not work for a client, but work together with urban stakeholders to
better frame the problem in order to deal with societal challenges. In this way,
Applab embraces design thinking as an approach to leverage a crossdisciplinary
collaboration between research, government, industry, and HCI and
design education. Results are described as well as lessons learnt. Consequently,
the elaborate Applab model is discussed. Interestingly, the corresponding
transdisciplinary design approach enabled a successful implementation of
Applab into HCI education. Students learnt a lot, as did the urban stakeholders.
The designed artefacts greatly leveraged their mind-shifting and meaningful
learning experiences.
