Participatory
Design
Lots of researches have made it a known fact that in order to better
understand the end user's needs, it is important to engage them
in the design process. We embarked in a series of activities to
better understand the needs and parameters of the project.
Wheelchair Diaries
All members in the design team spent a day in wheelchairs. We decided
on taking up different tasks : riding on public transportation,
cooking a meal at home, going to work... It was thought that a better
understanding of how wheelchairs and other mobility aids work would
lead to a more sensitive approach to design.
