Abstract
localizing design stories (locdstories) is a collectively developed design research project. An offer to form a temporary group of a few facilitators and more participants interested in design. This group agrees to take time and share a braver space to explore and reflect upon the relations between their design practice, what stories have been told by whom to them about design, and what stories they would like to share. The setting consists of an adaptable seminar format and an interactive platform, a virtual globe gathering absent situated design stories beyond a dominant design historiography by inviting participants to tell stories they relate to, to localize them, to situate them, share them, to make them receivable, to talk and to listen. We propose an audio-visual installation of a selection of so far localized design stories on the online accessible platform, as well as a visualization of the interactive possibilities with the virtual globe and application.
