Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyse the first phase of the participatory design process applied to a collaborative housing project, based on the Livingston method. “El Ciempiés” cooperative decided to start a participatory process for designing its building in March 2020, coinciding with the beginning of the COVID-19 lockdown in Spain, requiring reconsideration of the techniques and tools used for the development of the project.

Method: Case study based on the analysis of documents, reports and focus groups.

Results: Description and analysis of the phases of the participatory design process of “El Ciempiés” cooperative.

Discussion: The logical order and techniques of the Livingston method supported the process, adapting its tools to the complex and changing context of the project. The central elements of the method responded to the expressed and latent demands of the collective.

Conclusions: The processes of participatory design are appropriate to the expectations and needs of the participants involved in collaborative housing projects. The Livingston method provides the bases to generate a spatial transformation strategy in self-managed processes of collaborative housing and allows it to adapt its tools to complex contexts such as working with collectives in a pandemic situation.
