The document discusses results in design research projects. It argues that results can be seen as the reconfiguration of objects and people over time through learning and gaining skills. The role of designers shifts from creating fixed objects to facilitating artifacts that evolve through use. As a consequence, there is no clear separation between users and designers, but rather people with different experiences involved at different stages of the process. Two examples are provided: creative spaces in libraries that fostered open collaboration and a communal pantry that brought together food producers and connected complementary practices to envision open food futures.

OPEN PUBLIC THINGS PHD FESTIVAL 15 Aditya Pawar WHAT COUNTS AS RESULT IN DESIGN RESEARCH? A re鍖ection on results in my PhD projects
Now that physics is proving the intelligence of the universe what are we to do about the stupidity of mankind? I include myself. I know that the earth is not 鍖at but my feet are. I know that space is curved but my brain has been condoned by habit to grow in a straight line. What I call light is my own blend of darkness. What I call a view is my hand-painted trompe-l'oeil. I run after knowledge like a ferret down a ferret hole. My limitations, I call the boundaries of what can be known. I interpret the world by confusing other people's psychology with my own. I say i am open-minded but what i think is Jeanette Winterson, Gut Symmetries
Results The recon鍖gurations of objects and persons over time can be seen as learning and gaining skills. The designer is no longer seen as the exclusive source of knowledge for an artefact, but tries to access the cultural and social body of tacit knowledge. If design is then the ongoing recon鍖guration of artefacts. the role of the designers must shift: away from 鍖xed objects that communicate their use to artefacts as a medium. . . elaborated in use (Suchman) As a consequence, there will not be a clear separation of users and designers, but only persons with different histories and positionalities, involved at different moments in the production process.
