The article written by Kin Wai Michael Siu, about users' creative responses to designed objects, highlights some essential points that go unnoticed in the design process. He keeps emphasizing upon on how users needs are put to the side and not researched enough. He also states that a designer tends to think he is the best person in designing in object and satisfying the needs of the customer, but in reality a true response to satisfying a need is through the criticism of a customer themselves. He also compares the time from which Le Corbusier designed objects, and the modernistic approach constrains all those design principles which the pioneers initially used. I personally found it quite intriguing in how he compared the response to a designed object by a consumer, as a reader would read text from a book. Essentially the reactions from the intended audience undergo a similar manner of responding, such that they need to 'experience' the designed object/the text, and through that will the consumer/reader truly give a subjective response. Furthermore, after reading this extract I could not agree more with Siu's thoughts on incorporating user participation in the design decision-making process. On the flipside, I think it would be very difficult to actually make this happen as, most things designed reach such a varied audience and it would be difficult to actually make majority of your consumer base to interact and give feedback, but it is definitely something that should start being a part of the design process.
