NORM-CRITIQUE IN PRACTICE: HAPTIC AND TACTILE DESIGN METHODS IN THE NOTION OF CARE
Summary
We invite participants to this workshop with the purpose to explore participatory processes based on tactile and haptic methods within the framework of norm-critical methodology. The workshop is based on cases from the project ‘Tink – Idea development for available and inclusive open stormwater solutions`. Innovation- driven projects in urban planning are often based on technical aspects and deviate from social values. Through a norm-critical methodology, we argue that technical innovation needs to include social values based on intersectional analysis. Firstly, in the project Tink, that means that we work together across disciplines and focus areas, in an interdisciplinary environment with disability activists, researchers, practitioners, and municipal officials. Secondly, we state that norm critical methodology includes design processes based on inclusive methods in the notion of care, engagement and social inclusion. In a workshop environment, this means creating settings for people with different experiences and abilities.
