Participation

Participation

Today there are many buildings that are just build by architects without actually knowing what the dwellers want or what they are looking for. The result are building who aren't used in the way they were designed or that don't completly satisfy the dwellers. Participation between the dwellers and the architect is needed.
There have been designers like Friedman and Di Carlo who where really interested in what the users want . There isn't just one right answer about how to participate with the dwellers. You can act on different scales and levels.
In todays architecture this fact is lost in mass housing complexes although in some country's, you can see some new projects in this direction rising up. This topic is becoming more and more important to create houses for todays dwellers.
