Abstract
In everyday work environments, systems for work evolve
constantly in response to changing environments, the need
to overcome technical and social obstacles, or out of the
desire by individuals to try something new or satisfy their
curiosity. This proposal briefly reviews some emergent
design activities, namely patchwork prototyping and a
recent trend in academic computing for adopting and
modifying open-source software. On the basis of this past
work, the authors provide suggestions for future research
on how design activity by both professional and amateur
designers can be studied to inform both the design of
systems to support co-design, and to learn better about how
to do intentional design.
