Abstract:
Abstract: Personalisation permeates our everyday lives. From advertising to healthcare and from clothing to architecture – most services and products can be tailored to suit particular needs and preferences. This paper considers questions including: where does it leave designers when consumers specify their products? Do personalised health services deliver value to the tax-payer? Deriving from a symposium on the topic, it identifes the dimensions of the phenomenon and typologies within it by investigating specific instances of personalised designs, their consequences for users, and for society. The presentations to the symposium will be chapters in ‘Design for Personalisation’ published by Gower in 2015.
