The experimentation conducted during a participatory pilot research project in a Primary School in Milan, explored the use of emotional associations of color through the identification of evocative terms, or “emotion words”, together with color combinations and images of projects in specific contexts, as a basis for comparison, discussion and verification, and, to conclude, for development of project hypotheses. Even if we cannot, on a numerical level, consider significant the reference sample used within the participatory process, both in the preliminary and in the verification phase of the methodological assumptions, the results of the experimentation led us to assume that the design methodology we identified and adopted proved to be functional in order to facilitate comparison and verification within the participatory process and subsequently develop design hypotheses based on the same comparison and verification.

Abstract

The experimentation conducted during a participatory pilot research project in a Primary School in Milan, explored the use of emotional associations of color through the identification of evocative terms, or “emotion words”, together with color combinations and images of projects in specific contexts, as a basis for comparison, discussion and verification, and, to conclude, for development of project hypotheses. Even if we cannot, on a numerical level, consider significant the reference sample used within the participatory process, both in the preliminary and in the verification phase of the methodological assumptions, the results of the experimentation led us to assume that the design methodology we identified and adopted proved to be functional in order to facilitate comparison and verification within the participatory process and subsequently develop design hypotheses based on the same comparison and verification.
