| Achoimre: | The present work exposes diverse approaches of the design with which the problems of the greater adult can be tackled significantly. The objective is to illustrate the relevance of the interdisciplinary work and the active participation of the older adult user in the course of design. For this purpose, the methodology offered by the User-Centered Design (UCD) and the co-creation based on consensus are selected as fundamental aspects that allow a reflection on the role of the designer during the process. The systemic complexity, whether practical or theoretical, observed through the exercise of the project, has led to the conclusion that the designer can contribute not only by offering a product consistent with the problems observed and the trajectory of the events discussed, recognized aspect of the discipline. It can furthermore articulate the diverse expert views in a solution that is integrated to the multidimensional complexity of the user in his old age, which implies considering his potential physical, cognitive deterioration, social exclusion, economic precariousness, but also from his speech consider his experiential capital shaped as a discursive totality that includes emotionality, behaviours, attitudes and reasoning, facilitating and generating creative divergence of the diverse participating knowledges, through collaborative platforms for the active call of those involved. |
