The article "Co-creation and the New Landscapes of Design" by Elizabeth B.-N. Sanders and Pieter Jan Stappers explores the evolving landscape of design research, particularly the shift from user-centered design to co-designing. The authors highlight that co-designing, though not a new concept, has taken different paths in the US and Europe, with the former emphasizing an 'expert perspective' and the latter a 'participatory approach'. This evolution is changing the roles of designers, researchers, and users, and is creating new domains of collective creativity. The article discusses the historical context of participatory design, the challenges in implementing co-creation, and the changing roles of key players in the design process. It also examines the impact of co-creation on design practice and education, emphasizing the need for new tools, methods, and curricula to support this evolving landscape. The authors argue that co-creation will transform how we design, what we design, and who designs, leading to more sustainable and inclusive design practices.The article "Co-creation and the New Landscapes of Design" by Elizabeth B.-N.
