693. Re-inventing the public library through codesign (Finland). A talk with Virve Hyysalo - Diseño y Diaspora

⁠ Virve Hyysalo ⁠is a Senior Service Designer who works at ⁠Pentagon Design.⁠ In this interview, we talk about all the co‑design work that went into creating the ⁠Oodi Library⁠ in Helsinki. She walks us through the methods they used, and how these approaches made it possible to include different marginalized groups in the design process. We move from the big picture to the tiny details—really diving into how this project was shaped with care, attention, and love. This interview is part of the lists: Diseño de servicios, Finnish design in public sector, D&D in English, Finlandia y diseño, Bibliotecas y diseño. Even though some of the lists titles are in Spanish, content can be found also in English. All the list of episodes in English, which has now more than 40 episodes can be found in the D&D in English. She recommends us to read: ⁠Design Participation ⁠by Sampsa Hyysalo

Can flawed AI-generated images be better for design than accurate ones?
In a new #CSCW2025 paper, @jaguridi et al. explore using image-generative AI as a boundary object in participatory processes to design public spaces.
Their key finding: Imperfect, unexpected images, which they term conversational imperfects, prompted richer and more space-aware conversations with participants than accurate images (fake perfects") did.

Happy that I had the opportunity to present my findings from my PhD in English to a #FOSS audience at #fossbackstage25
In a nutshell: The analyis of different GNU/Linux distributions shows how community culture inform technology development, and technology shapes its users.
In times of #Trumpism and #musk it becomes evident, that we need control over our software.
We also need to include users and adress their needs through #governance and #participatorydesign
