We present Design participation(-s) - a creative commons for ongoing change as the second set of the double special issue contributions that began in CoDesign 4 (1), March 2008. In the first volume, Liz Sanders and Jan Stappers, Yanki Lee, Tuuli Mattelmäki, Christina Brodersen, Christian Dindler and Ole Sejer Iversen, and Eva Brandt, Jörn Messeter and Thomas Binder collectively painted a picture of today's dynamic landscape of experimentation with forms of joint inquiry for collaborative idea generation sparked by an openness towards what can be designed and adaptive deployment of participatory tactics.
In the lively currents of participation in design and design research, the contributors offer new perspectives on how researchers are exploring core themes of making design practices a creative commons for on-going change.
Special Issue Authors: Thomas Binder; Eva Brandt; Judith Gregory
