A Dialogical Model for Users' Participation

This paper is about a method for the structuring of design dialogue for participatory design in a face-to-face design discussion. Participatory design is an important design approach in architecture and urban design, which has become part of professional practice. I examine the problem of participatory design from the perspective of cognitive science and design methodology to see how the interaction between the design activities in the material world and the thinking of design concepts is carried out through dialogue interaction. The result of this study is a new method of participatory design, a framework for participation-based design guidelines (PBDGs). The method makes a practical contribution to architecture and urban design processes in which participation occurs in the early stages. It focus on the generation of design guidelines. It investigates the process of group planning and develops a computational model for further the realization of computer-based information systems to support that process.
