Workshop Focus: Co-design create build
"Codesign," "create," and "build" are terms often used in the context of product development or project management, and they represent different stages in the process. Here's an explanation of the differences:
1. Codesign:
- Meaning: Codesign, short for "collaborative design," involves a cooperative and inclusive approach to designing a product or system. It emphasizes the involvement of various stakeholders, including designers, users, and other relevant parties, in the design process.
- **Process:** During codesign, participants contribute their ideas, perspectives, and expertise to ensure that the final design meets diverse needs and requirements. It often involves workshops, brainstorming sessions, and collaborative decision-making to generate innovative and inclusive solutions.
2. Create:
- Meaning: Creation is the phase where the conceptualized design is turned into a tangible form. It involves bringing ideas to life through the development of prototypes, mock-ups, or other representations of the envisioned product or project.
- **Process:** Creating can encompass various activities such as sketching, prototyping, and modelling. This stage allows for the visualisation and testing of design concepts before moving into full-scale production. It involves turning design ideas into tangible and practical forms.
3. Build:
- Meaning: Building is the implementation phase where the final product or system is constructed based on the approved design. It involves the use of materials, technologies, and processes to physically or digitally construct the intended outcome.
- **Process:** Building can include manufacturing, coding, assembling, or constructing, depending on the nature of the project. It is the hands-on phase where the detailed work outlined in the design and creation phases is executed to produce the final deliverable.
