Abstract

Two projects, Imaginary Journey, a virtual trip across Europe and Syntymi, two public spaces for families wanting to announce the birth of their child with an mms message, will be presented to describe a work process, in which narratives play the key role in the structuring of the collaborative design process and the framing of the audience participation.
