The article "Co-creation and the new landscapes of design" by Elizabeth B.-N. Sanders and Pieter Jan Stappers explores the evolution of design research from a user-centered approach to co-creation and co-design. It highlights how co-creation, involving collective creativity, is reshaping the roles of designers, researchers, and users. The shift from traditional user-centered design to co-design is creating new domains of collective creativity and influencing design education and practice. Co-creation is not a new concept but has evolved through different approaches in the US and Europe. The article discusses the growing interest in co-creation, its implications for design practice, and the need for new tools and methods to support it. It also addresses the challenges of integrating co-creation into design processes, including the need for diverse stakeholders and the importance of creative thinking at all levels. The article emphasizes the importance of co-creation in addressing complex global challenges and the need for new design practices that focus on purpose rather than products. It concludes with the potential of co-creation to transform design and research, leading to more sustainable and inclusive design practices.The article "Co-creation and the new landscapes of design" by Elizabeth B.-N.
