Eucalyptus: User Controlled Lightpath Enabled Participatory Design Studio (2006)
article⁄Eucalyptus: User Controlled Lightpath Enabled Participatory Design Studio (2006)
abstract⁄A new notion of participation is at stake with advances in technologically mediated work environments. The digitally mediated edesign studio has been around since the mid1990’s and has been employed in various forms in disciplines including architectureengineeringconstruction AEC, industrial design, and the automotive industry. Insufficient bandwidth and insufficiently powerful, crudely coordinated tools resulted in distributed taskbased modes of collaboration that did not allow full participation by members of the distributed design team. At the very least, the present ‘second generation’ network severely limits the applications, tools, and modes of communication that can be used in data and visualization intense design scenarios. The emergence of Service Oriented Architectures and UserControlled LightPaths ‘intelligent infrastructure’ herald the beginning of a new age where fully participatory multisite design may become possible. The networks, visualization communication tools, Service Oriented Architecture Web Services, work protocols, and physical site designs of the Participatory Design Studio PDS being developed by the authors will constitute one of the first working examples of this future. This paper will briefly outline the ‘mise en scene’ or staging of the technical configuration of the Eucalyptus project observations and results from the creative activity of the PDS in the context of two case studies and speculate on the implications for design activity, pedagogy, and a more robust mode of participation.
