Abstract
The paper reports a workshop held by the author at the University of Aveiro. Part of an ongoing PhD research focused on the possibility of designing the empathic experience, the workshop Design for Empathy involved 4 PhD students in Design, with research interests in design for social innovation, and a professor of UX design. The participants were asked to assess and review a list of ‘enablers’ of the empathic experience, previously identified by the author among some case studies presented in the workshop along with the relevant ‘enablers’. The ‘enablers’ are intended as conditions that make the empathic experience happen within relational situations, The research stems from the assumption that these conditions can be designed to some extent. In the present paper the workshop Design for Empathy will be reported providing an insight in its structure and development, as well as some of the results achieved. Nevertheless, being the workshop part of an ongoing research, the argumentation leaves room to a wide range of conclusions that will not be stressed here.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
