Self-production: a human centered design process. The sustainable future of self-production through a humanistic and participatory process

Abstract

Self-production is a human-centred design process, which shows how design is moving towards the management of the entire process (design, production, distribution, communication) rather than focusing exclusively on the final product. Humanities can support self-production not only upstream, as a source of inspiration for mindful projects, but also throughout the process to manage the user involvement in practices of participatory design, as well as downstream, for designing the distribution and the communication of a product in an anthropocentric way
