“…The architectural design integrates most of the mentioned SDGs; however, it could take into consideration other group's activities, which can be recognized in some other museums abroad, such as designing treasure hunt games or other creative ideas that attract teenagers and group visitors [13].…”

“…On another level of studying the relationship between designing museums and social and cultural needs, there is a respectable number of authors who dealt with the process of co-design in building museums, including Vanessa Cesário [13], who focused on the participatory factor of teenagers in the process of using technology in museums. In another dissertation by Arnold P. O. S. Vermeeren [14], experiences in, around, and involving museums that are part of networks of people and organizations, whereby numerous ideas have been developed, were explored.…”

Over the last few decades, contemporary museums have undergone a radical change: they have become public places that promote socio-economic sustainability through recreation, commercial, and cultural activities. This shift has altered public perception of museums globally and had a profound impact on today’s museums, resulting in new prototypes that differ significantly from prior ones. This study tries to answer the following questions: How far have Egyptian museums evolved over the last decade? what degree can the radical transformation in museum design assist in fulfilling Egypt’s SDGs? To answer these questions, this study attempts to explore how far Egyptian museums have adapted to this fundamental change, by tracing the evolution of Egyptian museum design compared with the findings of the author’s previous thesis in 2012 and Egypt’s SDGs. This study used qualitative methods, which began with a thorough literature review, followed by a comparative analysis of the selected case studies. The findings revealed that the contemporary design of recent Egyptian museums, by including social and economic activities, significantly supports the national and global agenda in terms of SDG. This article provides architects, designers, and policy makers with clear design criteria to enhance the social and economic role of museums, towards fulfilling SDGs.

“…Participatory Design (PD) has developed from its Scandinavian origins (see [17][18][19][20]). PD incorporates several methods and theories, while the core philosophy is to include the final users as active participants in the technology design process [20][21][22][23][24][25]. Taxén [25] pointed out that PD is a strategic approach to producing user-oriented information technologies.…”

“…Taxén [25] pointed out that PD is a strategic approach to producing user-oriented information technologies. Cesário and colleagues found that co-creation sessions can gave participants a "voice" and engage them enthusiastically in the design process [22,23,27]. It allows the creation of collaborative knowledge from individuals, articulating their creativity.…”

We present a case study to understand how migrant communities embrace and connect with their host city's cultural heritage. To achieve this, we deployed a study with ten adult migrants (first-and second-generation Lisbon dwellers) articulated into two stages: (i) a five-day photo-challenge involving storytelling elucidated by pictures and short textual descriptions, followed by (ii) a four-hour audio recorded co-creation workshop, in which participants explored the material they had captured and co-created stories around specific sites, linking them to their memories. This method enabled the participants to express their opinions and experiences on social, cultural, and historical matters. By exploring their connections with the places they inhabit through their own, personal narratives and sharing these with their peers, the participants activated a discussion process exploring the role of storytellers. This case study focuses on the lessons learned and the limitations of the practical work carried out.

“…It has been found that prototypes set boundaries on design ideas, but they provide a better understanding of how technology works and can then be integrated within a design scenario. In another study, Cesario et al [26] prepared and studied a co-design activity that was more participatory and was mostly led by end-users. A group of teenagers together with the researcher jointly designed, created and evaluated medium-fidelity prototype games for a museum using augmented reality technology.…”

Co-Design of a Playful Mixed Reality Installation: An Interactive Crane in the Museum of Marble Crafts

et al. 2020

Interactive installations in museums usually adopt hybrid technologies that combine physical elements with digital content, and studies so far show that this approach enhances the interest and engagement of visitors compared to non-interactive media or purely digital environments. However, the design of such systems is complicated, as it involves a large number of stakeholders and specialists. Additionally, the functional components need to be carefully orchestrated to deliver a rich user experience. Thus, there is a need for further research on tools and methods that facilitate the process. In this paper we present the design and development of a mixed reality installation for the Museum of Marble Crafts in Tinos island in Greece, which places visitors in the role of the crane operator and they have to complete challenges in a gamified version of the old quarry. The system lets users operate a tangible controller and their actions are executed by digital workers in a rich 3D environment. Our design approach involved iterative prototyping, research and co-design activities. The creative process has been supported by a series of organized workshops. The evaluation results indicate that mixed reality can be a promising medium for rich interactive experiences in museums that combine tangible and intangible heritage.
