Continuing Design in Use of Tangible Computing Environments

We reflect on the opportunities offered by tangible computing in allowing an explicit and active role of users in the co-development of uses and systems. We introduce basic concepts and past approaches related to user participation and change in systems and system use, which we group in changing design and designing for change. We present a development of a tangible computing environment for learning architecture design. We have observed architecture students in their practical projects and we have learned how they configure their spaces, learn and practice design.[...]
