This paper takes as its starting point the fact that we live in aftermath of previous making and design. For participatory design to adequately answer this aftermath, suggest building on a combination speculative approaches everyday life settings exploring practice un/making matters. The draws two cases where participants have been invited engage with recent scientific findings practices - one they explore plastic waste through composting, polluted soil plants can accumulate metals. By not...

Design is conventionally considered to be about making and creating new things. But what the converse of that process – unmaking which already exists? Researchers designers have recently started explore concept "unmaking" actively think important design issues like reuse, repair, unintended socio-ecological impacts. They also observed importance as a ubiquitous in world, its relation an ongoing dialectic continually recreates our material technological realms. Despite increasing attention...

In this article, we show that a reflective can start to emerge sharing experiences and knowledges confined space is simultaneously connected society fractal scaling (O’Brien et al. 2023) way.

In recent years, many have combined actor–network theory (and after) and collective design. this emerging field that we call participatory design after, proposed appropriated figurations such as networks, fluid, fire, thing meshwork. paper, argue do not only contribute to knowing the world, they also intervene in becoming of worlds. This recognition performative character figuration suggests knowledge-making world-making are inseparable, makes it very important be careful what imagine,...

This paper connects with recent movements within participatory design that move beyond democracy at work and into public engagements matters where stakes stakeholders are uncertain. is thus a shift from earlier projects identifiable were pre-condition. To enable the becoming of response-able, this argues for new space design: to material participation in yet unarticulated issues connected socio-material entanglements. stakeholder not necessarily about solving problem but sensitize oneself...

This paper engages with biodiversity loss. In particular, it focuses on observations and scientific facts: the decline of pollinators what that entails for co-living humans more-than-humans. kind work often reaches publics as thin stories limited futures. The article explores how to situate issue out-of-sync plant–pollinator relationships into thick, ongoing presents rather than a distant future is out one's own hands. done through collaborative design project experiments various formats...

This article proposes un/making as a designerly response to urgent environmental issues. By focusing on the simultaneous constructive and destructive aspects of design, this effort attempts challenge design's dominant focus making new things. The implications potentialities are explored through inquiry into ongoing emerging ban plastic straw. Based inquiry, an approach that is driven by speculative, what if questions, informed history straw: from coming being becoming preferable now matter...

This piece in the interactive exhibition shows a prototype of domestic plastic composting kit. More specifically it's repurposed glass jar with lid that has been cut open and replaced by metal net. Inside it common mealworms are biodegrading styrofoam. A democratic design experiment, where similar prototypes were distributed to explore how is live it, will be present this through photos. 30-minute workshop builds on experiment explores becoming stakeholders when actors issues multiple uncertain.

There are no rubber corks become destroyed by heat or loosen allow leakage. The tubing needles can be retained in original position throughout procedure, sterility is thereby insured. find convenient enclose each needle a separate small test tube before sterilizing, remove just using needle....
