The process of value setting through co-design: the case of La Borda, Barcelona

Dos Santos Vieira Brysch, S.L. (author), Garcia i Mateu, Adrià (author), Czischke, D.K. (author)

Against the increasing commodification of housing, a new kind of housing cooperatives has emerged in Catalonia in the last decade. These cooperatives fall within the wider concept of collaborative housing (CH), i.e. they are collectively self-organised projects based on a collaborative design process, or ‘co-design’. In such a process,...

Sharing Is Saving? Building Costs Simulation of Collaborative and Mainstream Housing Designs

Dos Santos Vieira Brysch, S.L. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author), Czischke, D.K. (author)

Building costs play a significant role in determining the affordability of a housing project, and these depend to a large extent on design choices. This paper is based on the premise that collaborative design processes, or co-design, used in collaborative housing (CH) in Europe reduce building costs and consequently increase the affordability of...

Integrated topology and controller optimization using the Nyquist curve

Delissen, A.A.T.M. (author), van Keulen, A. (author), Langelaar, Matthijs (author)

The design of high-performance mechatronic systems is very challenging, as it requires delicate balancing of system dynamics, the controller, and their closed-loop interaction. Topology optimization provides an automated way to obtain systems with superior performance, although extension to simultaneous optimization of both topology and...

Towards a framework for urban landscape co-design: Linking the participation ladder and the design cycle

Gaete Cruz, M. (author), Ersoy, A. (author), Czischke, D.K. (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author)

With the increasing social and ecological pressures on urban settlements, re-thinking how we produce them becomes a growing concern. Due to the diversity of actors across sectors and backgrounds involved in such design processes, collaboration is of utmost importance. Co-design can thus play a crucial role in integrating aims and knowledge as...

Creativity-driven urban regeneration in the post-socialist context - The case of Csepel Works, Budapest

Taraba, Judit (author), Forgaci, C. (author), Romein, A. (author)

The complex institutional, economic, and societal trends that have characterized the post-socialist transition in Central and Eastern European countries have drastically reshaped urban development. The case of Budapest shows that three decades of nearly exclusive market-driven urban policies have resulted in a variety of social, spatial and...

A game co-design method to elicit knowledge for the contextualization of spatial models

Champlin, C.J. (author), Flacke, Johannes (author), Dewulf, Geert P.M.R. (author)

A frequent criticism of knowledge-based planning tools is the apparent mismatch between information frameworks used in their spatial models and the information needs of planning actors. Increasingly, these actors are contributing their context-specific knowledge during the development of such tools. Transferring this knowledge from actors to the...

Remote contextmapping and prototyping during lockdown, a study case

van Nifterik, W.B. (author), Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author), van Erp, J. (author)

In co-design, solutions are generated to serve people’s needs, short term and/or long term, through their involvement in parts of the design process. Methods like contextmapping and explorative prototyping serve these participatory processes. They help designers to step into the users’ shoes, to explore design solutions from and with their...
