PARTICIPATION
OF USERS IN HOUSING DESIGN
Ada Kwiatkowska
Abstract
Participation
of users in housing design became a key-word in solving the problems of
alienation of people in housing environment (dreams created
and occupied by advertisement world, dictate of social status patterns
and cultural media etc.) and alienation of architects in housing design
process (sale of illusions and styles, aesthetic and visual designing,
fragmentation of knowledge etc.). It seems, most of the possible relations
between architect and user, active form of participation, were already
described and examined in different projects and activities. For instance:
design on offer, advocate, symmetry of ignorance, modelling and free plan.The last decade of the 20
th Century brings other meaning and other forms of participation, so-called
interactive participation. The following interactive forms of participation
in housing design: operational free plan, simulation’s games, strategy
of scenarios and interactive architectural forms were distinguished and
described. The fundamental differences
between active and interactive forms of participation of users in housing
architecture were pointed out and defined.
