“…), (3) include the cooperation and collaboration of different actors (e.g. from science, business, public authorities, and civil society), and (4) in which (social and/or technical) innovations are developed and tested, often through experimental and prototyping practices (Dickel, 2019;Karvonen and Van Heur, 2014) and design methods (Engels et al, 2019;Gross, 2018;Hillgren et al, 2011). We are aware that the different terms are used and defined in different ways and that Reallabore and living labs are in some discourses distinguished as different concepts and used synonymously in others (see Schäpke et al, 2017).…”

Living labs and Reallabore are policy attempts to provide infrastructures for societal transformation towards sustainability. They attempt to do so through facilitating experimental modes of societal learning and innovation in inter- and transdisciplinary environments. We suggest that building and maintaining such infrastructures includes simultaneously relying on continuity by following conventions of knowledge production and allowing for contingency as a resource for surprise. Both are necessary, inevitably prompting a “constitutive tension”. Based on a pilot study of two living labs on urban mobility in Austria, we ask how specific labs inscribe continuity and contingency into their infrastructures. Our analysis shows that the living labs attempted to connect to diverse communities, providing a source for contingency. At the same time, however, we observe a tendency to mitigate contingency when the production of outcomes is at risk. Based on the discussion of this exploratory case study, we reflect upon the transformative potential of living labs.

“…Scholars stay vague when defining prototypes (Dickel, 2019;Gengnagel et al, 2015) because of their flexible and heterogeneous nature. We still observe, as stated, that different design disciplines have different notions of prototyping and different expectations of prototypes.…”

“…Prototypes communicate to various stakeholders for various purposes, such as ideating or testing . Prototypes are also used to facilitate discussions (Sanders & Stappers, 2014a) or to argue for their plausibility (Dickel, 2019). Bähr (2012) describes how architects show sketches instead of renderings, since "a perfect model seems to be complete and somehow locked to suggestions".…”

Prototypes are useful beyond usability testing; they're a strategic tool to drive alignment, to communicate value and vision, and to get digital products built correctly in a more efficient manner. They help teams move quickly by making instead of swirling in ideas. Through her work at IBM and currently as a Creative Director at the digital product design agency, argodesign, Kathryn Marinaro has found that the best practical uses for prototypes are for qualitative and strategic purposes. In this keynote, Kathryn will share her experience creating and utilizing prototypes to generate ideas with subject matter experts, to understand resonance and value with endusers, to explore new interaction models for emerging technology, and to communicate visions to stakeholders who control the direction of a product. She'll share examples of prototypes used throughout the process of the programs she leads and their outcomes and impact. Prototypes aren't just for testing, they're for delivering value.Kathryn Marinaro is an award-winning Creative Director who envisions the future and develops products and strategies for a wide variety of clients at argodesign. She is the author of Prototyping for Designers, published by O'Reilly, and has employed user-centered methodologies to create and iterate on impactful experiences in health wearables, AI interaction patterns, AI image recognition and training interfaces, and cloud development tools, while working on world-class design teams like IBM Watson Visioneering and IBM Mobile Innovation Lab. She has gained recognition as one of Austin's Top 50 Female UX Designers and as part of the Advisory Board for the inaugural Austin Design Week. She's been featured in articles in Fast

Infrastructures and Transformation: Between Path Dependency and Opening-Up for Experimental Change

Infrastructure development faces multiple challenges in the present. These are generated by digitalization, ecological orientation, transformation, and the emergence of a multipolar de-colonial world order. Under these conditions, infrastructure development faces the problem that, although designed for stability and continuity, it requires a new flexibility. To address these issues more precisely, this article first proposes a heuristic for studying infrastructures in times of transformation and tests it with two examples. In it, it is shown that the qualification of future infrastructure development lies in the characteristics of scalability, inclusivity, and updateability.
