Call for contributions
Workshop on Co-designing and communing at Nordes 2015
Date: 9th of June 2015
Place. Konstfack University, Stockholm Sweden, June 2015 (in Conjunction with NORDES 2015 Conference)
Organisers: Andrea Botero (Aalto University), Sanna Marttila (Aalto University), Frederik Van Amstel (Twente University) , Anna Seravalli (Malmö University), Joanna Saad-Sulonen (Århus University)
There is currently a lively debate hinging on the notion of commons as a principle for an alternative way of organising social production. Commons challenge the basic assumption that private property or centralised control are the only options when creating, protecting and/or managing shared resources against depletion and waste. Instead, commons-based forms of organising typically rely on communication, awareness and self-regulation among the contributors
We seek contributions that highlight, reflect and raise awareness around commons as an objective and communing as away of doing and beingfor design activities:
How can we design better infrastructures and frameworks that enable, mediate and foster commoning practices?
What new design principles and practices are needed to co-design commons?
How to articulate –long-lived and open ended -collaborative practices that rely on sharing resources, and/or produce collective outcomes?
Our intention is to continue ongoing efforts to link discussions and research done in “commons” framework to collaborative practices found in design around human centred design, participatory design and open design (See e.g.Marttila et al. 2013, Marttila et al.2014 and Seravalli 2014). Interested researchers and practitionersare invited to send position papers reflecting on a current project or case, in relationshipto the theme of the workshop (4 pages by email [log in to unmask] DL 22nd of May). Organizers will collect also cases and examples as a basis for hands-on mapping and discussion during the workshop.
