Participatory Design Theory by Oswald Devisch

Participatory Design Theory by Oswald Devisch

This book explores the role of participatory design in keeping these participatory processes public. It addresses four specific lines of enquiry: how can the use and development of technologies and social media help to diversify, coproduce, interrupt and document democratic design experiments.
