Dirty Design Session (Author: Prof. Sonja Hörster)

  • A "Dirty Design Session" is a creative method that works with the different perspectives on a design question. A design session creates space in which emerging ideas and concepts can be put down on paper, jointly differentiated and recorded as a draft.

What are the goals of this method?

  • explain what makes this method relevant for participatory contexts
  • What are typical questions this method is able to answer?
  • Which types of knowledge does it generate? Or: what are typical results and/or outcomes?

In which situations can this method be applied?

  • A "Dirty Design Session" is suitable for working intensively in smaller teams of four to five people on the solution of a design question.
  • The design session is often a session within a longer workshop (one to several days). Every workshop participant can take part in this session.

How does this method work in practice?

  • Describe the application as practical as possible
  • How much time is needed for each step?
  • Which materials/rooms/technical equipment is needed?
  • What are the tasks of the facilitators?
  • What should be avoided?

Examples of typical results

  • If you have already applied the method in the past or have access to results from other processes, please show a few examples of how the method works and of its results

What are typical next steps after applying this method?

  • Give an outlook of how to follow-up: How should the results be processed and used in the further process?

Any limitations and typical pitfalls?

  • Reflect a bit on what the methods can not do and what the process designer should be aware of, which additional activities are needed
  • Any ethical concerns as we are working with people? Add a few reflections

Worksheets and Materials

  • If you have or know any practical worksheets or templates, please add them here for download
  • If these come from other websites, please link directly to those and add the authors you are referring to here

Further readings, links and references

  • Add scientific articles, weblinks and other relevant resources
