Le design social : une sociologie des associations par le design ? Le cas de deux démarches de codesign dans des projets de rénovation des bibliothèques de la Ville de Montréal

Abstract

L’article vise à exposer un travail de recherche amorcé à l’automne 2013 à propos des conditions, des enjeux et des effets de l’intégration des principes de l’innovation ouverte et, plus particulièrement, de l’approche design et du codesign dans le développement des institutions comme les bibliothèques publiques. Il propose dans un premier temps une théorie pragmatique originale du design social, à la frontière du design et de la sociologie, comme sociologie des associations par le design. Il présente ensuite deux démarches de codesign réalisées en 2014 en recherche-intervention dans le cadre de projets de rénovation de bibliothèques d’arrondissement de la Ville de Montréal.This paper presents a study begun in fall 2013 of the conditions, issues and effects of incorporating principles of open innovation and, more particularly, the design and co-design approach, into the development of institutions like public libraries. It first outlines an original pragmatic theory of social design, on the boundary between design and sociology, as the sociology of associations by design. It then presents two action research codesign processes carried out in 2014 as part of City of Montreal library renovation projects

Developing A Mobile App With a Human-Centered Design Lens to Improve Access to Mental Health Care (Mentallys Project): Protocol for an Initial Co-Design Process

“…We conducted an unstructured interview with him to gather his feedback and advice, particularly on how to initiate the co-design process in the most engaging way possible for participants. The interview highlighted the importance of what Dr Gauthier and his colleagues call “imaginary prototypes,” “starting fictions,” or “possible concepts,” which they have shown to play a structuring role in fostering collective ideation, engagement in co-creation, and the organization of co-design workshops [ 38 ]. Gauthier and colleagues sometimes refer to these imaginary prototypes as “martyr concepts” to emphasize that they are typically inadequate concepts that participants are invited to criticize [ 39 ].…”

Le design social, est-ce un champignon Le concept d’agencement polyphonique d’Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing pour penser la transition écologique par le design

“…Le design social renvoie à un ensemble de pratiques hétéroclites qui se cristallise toutefois autour d'approches conceptuelles et méthodologiques communes (Abrassart et al, 2015). On y retrouve souvent des problématiques complexes, une approche interventionniste qui mobilise la recherche-action, des échelles de projet locales, des solutions diverses, la cocréation, le design participatif, l'innovation sociale, des enquêtes de terrain et des relations collaboratives avec les personnes concernées (Chen et al, 2015).…”

The Collaborative Evaluation and Co-Design (Cec) Approach: Prospects for Effective Solutions-Innovations, Epistemological Foundations and Implementation Process

“…In education, for example, it allows learners to learn to think aloud, without blocking or fear of rejection [19]. Researchers are calling for the integration of education and research actors in this innovation process for easy adoption of solutions [20,21]. Co-design has evolved into co-creation, which could lead to more sustainable solutions.…”
