- Concept 1: The question of emotional involvement in design process.
To engage immigrants in partecipatory design research is important to create an atmosphere that inspire conversation. Through the method of "making togheter" (painting, writing, even eating togheter) people involved are facilited to open themselves up and describe their feelings and needs. So the researches perceive, among others things, emotional response from the people involved and even from themselves, and they have to reflect on which and how to use this emotions in a design project.

Landscape Symbols - Mohamadreza Youssefi Matak
-
A clear visual border of forest and farmland separated by a path looks like fare to us. But as a matter of fact for ages, all species had been trying to own the majority of the natural landscape. Now it seems we as the most intellectual one could conquer all and determine the borders of ownership and shape the landscape by our own definition of the term "Democracy"! Welzheim, Germany -
If we accept that definition for the term democracy is relative based on different periods of time, then this remained structure of the Roman watchtower could be a sign of democracy not for the people but for the empires. A built structure in natural landscape in order to make and keep the peace among rulers which has a reverse meaning for contemporary society today!48°53'11.5"N 9°38'02.0"E(Welzheim,Germany) -
Access for all regardless of ethnic differences is one of the inevitable factors in landscape democracy which has been developed in various shapes from dirt road or track to railway. Indeed, it is a human right to have access the better places to benefit from the economic growth and social welfare.48°37'41.3"N 9°20'33.7"E(Nürtingen Bahnhof,Germany)
