“…In this paper, reflection in-action and on-action (Schön, 1983) is intertwined with reflection on the shared experience of a global pandemic. This extends beyond Schön's (1983) reflective practice to encompass Forester's (1999) The 'reflective doodling' process used to think about co-design within this research is also a form of embodied reflection (Wallace, 2020a) as is demonstrated in the figures in this paper.…”

The recent global experience of COVID-19 has problematized the face-to-face co-design process and forced co-design researchers and practitioners to rethink the process of collaboration that typically takes place in a co-design workshop. This paper considers how we might continue to co-design when physical proximity is not possible. Recognising that technology has long played a role in co-design practice, we argue that to date, the technologically mediated experience of co-design has been largely based on the assumption of replicating the physical and embodied experience of the co-design workshop. Rather than accepting the deficit culture implied through the curtailing of much of the conventional face-to-face activities we associate with co-design, this paper reports on proactive research into novel possibilities for continuing collaborative research work through the concept of ‘low-contact co-design’. A series of proprietary visual models that explore a range of spatiotemporal conditions within which co-design practices can occur are presented. Opportunities for engaging with new communities, and in new processes are highlighted and a spatiotemporal framework for planning co-design processes is presented.

“…Each game used low-contact co-design methods (Davis et al, 2021) and rapid prototyping to co-create multiple games with the aim to build players' communicative capacity and to encourage collaboration through gameplay. Reflective practice (Schön, 1983) and the author's reflective doodling method (Wallace, 2020) have informed an iterative process of embodied reflection throughout the co-design process and beyond.…”

This paper explores how regenerative design games might foster the communication and collaboration skills needed to scaffold transitions to just and sustainable futures. It explores three design games, each co-designed with different people, for different intents and purposes but each with the shared aim to build people's capacity for regeneration, open communication and effective collaboration. It discusses the role of games in explorations of uncertain futures and highlights the important role played by care practices in co-design processes.
