Abstract
This paper presents the prototyping process for developing a resource material in planning and performing participatory workspace design processes. This material brings up design dialogues into focus and gives insights on how to stage them, bridging the gap of merging user involvement with the well-defined design work-practice. The material was gradually built during a research project, including three workshops emphasizing joint exploration by designers. The result was a flexible resource material for designers as a tool to help building a participatory process specifically for each project.
