DesignLAB claims a critical position in defining ‘design’ as an open discipline and promoting new roles for design, which could be participatory, inherently social, place-based, and an open-ended practice. Co-production is an important notion at the intersection between research and design, where design-oriented research and scholarship could create possibilities for collaboration with on-the-ground practices and communities.
