“…An essential component of collaborative and participatory design was needed to bind the methodology behind the workshop. This is ever more relevant since we are living in a current landscape of increasing participatory culture, an era of participation (Smith, Bossen and Kanstrup, 2017;Meroni et al, 2018). The primary motivation behind this growth is not only the influences of the internet and other evolving technological and communicational utilities (Bannon and Ehn, 2012;Meroni et al, 2018), but the essence behind participatory actions is also an expression of contemporary culture that resonates with the aspirations of present research.…”

“…The primary motivation behind this growth is not only the influences of the internet and other evolving technological and communicational utilities (Bannon and Ehn, 2012;Meroni et al, 2018), but the essence behind participatory actions is also an expression of contemporary culture that resonates with the aspirations of present research. Ultimately, the essence of collective creativity behind participatory and collaborative methodologies is progressively seen as a guide to navigating complex social issues that need the assimilation of varied stakeholders (Meroni et al, 2018). This inclusionary approach was one of the main guidelines of the workshop.…”

“…This inclusionary approach was one of the main guidelines of the workshop. The methodological inclination towards co-design and participatory design stems from the belief that those impacted by design outcomes should inherently have a participatory stake in the design journey (Ehn, 1989;Meroni et al, 2018). The evolution of participatory design, which shifted from enhancing expertise within organizations to empowering broader communities (Ehn, 2008;Meroni et al, 2018), underlines such an approach's political and democratising potential.…”

Meanwhile, co-design confluences user-centred design and participatory practices, combining observation and partnership characteristics (Sanders and Stappers, 2008;Meroni et al, 2018). In a space as complex and multifaceted as decoloniality, co-design emerges not only as a methodology but as a social conversation that embraces its contradictions, recognizing the value of each stakeholder's unique skills, experiences, and cultural contributions (Manzini, 2016;Meroni et al, 2018).…”

As design evolves, language serves as a bridge between envisioned futures and the ontological elements of design that shape them. This manuscript presents an alternative glossary that gathers words from diverse disciplines and practices intersected by a decolonial lens that challenges hegemonical narratives. The glossary of the world to come results from a three-day workshop that focused on language as a formal, normative, and subversive tool capable of defining future behaviour and destabilizing the present. The terms are some among the many that exist to form this decolonial world.

The city, a place of contemporary living par excellence, challenges the planner by making it necessary to adapt progressively quicker to changes and to overcome the traditional design approach linked to the modern idea of the industrial city. Indeed, living in non-stationary contexts, the complexity of problems nowadays requires a new planning endeavor capable of testing future solutions ‘in the field’ rather than ‘on paper,’ involving citizens, but also continuously adapting processes to achieve the expected results. The proposed contribution aims to document possible ways to trigger virtuous urban renewal processes, sustainably activating tangible and intangible resources. The topic will be investigated from the point of view of the triad: ‘project, technology, and digital solutions,’ adopting a social perspective. The latter ensures the active involvement of citizens in strategic decisions, increasing their awareness and civic sense, but also supporting the proposition of evolving planning scenarios in order to develop solutions that will be concrete, achievable, and resilient. The core element concerns the way in which it is possible to promote the creation of an extended social mind through which collective behavioral change can be fostered. In some cases, digital technologies prove to be the effective ‘expert instrument,’ also for understanding the planned intervention, opening the design process for different stakeholders not necessarily familiar with technical conventions. According to Floridi, digital transformation ‘disconnects and reconnects specific processes,’ and the project represents the most powerful innovation element to promote the ecological transition. These dynamics will be explored through the analysis of some research and project activities that directly involved the authors of this article.

Collaboration and participation are transforming architectural disciplines. Especially in public and collective projects, where more democratic decision-making processes are starting to be implemented. Within this changing context, socially engaged universities can contribute to generate new knowledge around participatory processes and design methods. This can be achieved through design-based university-community partnerships, where useful learning for communities, students and academics can be generated. Following a Participatory Action Research methodology, different partnerships informed this paper. These were structured around landscape architecture university courses with the aim to experience service learning. The article explains the adaptability of the applied methodology and its capacity to serve community needs by seeking design implementation. It shows how partnerships allowed students to learn about new professional roles and design processes through direct experience, while academics developed practice-based research. Finally, it showcases how socially engaged academics can generate knowledge through practice and from the outcomes of that practice. Los procesos participativos y la colaboración interdisciplinar están transformando las disciplinas arquitectónicas. Especialmente en proyectos públicos y colectivos, donde se están empezando a desarrollar sistemas de decisión más democráticos. En un contexto donde cambian las metodologías de trabajo y los roles tradicionales, las universidades interesadas en desarrollar aprendizaje-servicio pueden contribuir a generar conocimiento si se asocian a grupos comunitarios. Utilizando cursos de paisajismo, y siguiendo una metodología de acción participativa, diferentes colaboraciones informan este artículo. En él se explica la adaptabilidad de la metodología aplicada y cómo se intenta dar respuesta a los objetivos de los grupos comunitarios al perseguir la construcción de los proyectos. Esta voluntad práctica y participativa permite a los alumnos aprender nuevos roles y métodos de diseño a través de la experiencia directa. A su vez, los académicos pueden desarrollar nuevos procesos pedagógicos y crear proyectos de investigación tanto entre proyectos como de cada proyecto.
