I saw many articles discussing about participatory design mentioned the UTOPIA project, so I spent some time went through the literary review of it. It turned out that it was an intriguing idea in 1980, using simple cards to drawing tools to encompass workers to co design their working process. However, I thought it still not close enough to their real working experience. In nowadays we can enhance the experience of participatory design. With the significant development of technology, we can use much more tools like 360 degree camera, live stream and real time simulation to make people more engaging in the process and even make remote collaboration available.

It reminds me of the famous Bauhaus design chair "cantilever chair", featuring the aesthetic appearance and available for mass produce. On the context of 1919, many industries applied manufacturing process in their factory, and the artists then shift their focus from aesthetic-only view to practical view. The founder of Bauhaus once said that "Architecture begins when engineering ends". I think that interaction design in HCI field are just the same thing. We always need to make sure our design can be implement on the technology framework. It seemed that no matter in 20 century or in nowadays, finding out a way to balance design and engineering is a critical challenge all interaction designs should faced.
