Abstract Cross-disciplinary initiatives are raising demand for participatory design methods that can be applied at different scales, from urban settlement planning to individual buildings. However, there is a gap in the literature in terms of participatory tools and processes for international design teams operating at the local level in geographically remote regions. This paper presents the findings from a series of design workshops carried out by an international and interdisciplinary team working with small communities of Andean farmers in north-west Argentina. The team used a blend of participatory tools including walkabouts, collective model-making and a bespoke method for collective drawing. The team also gathered contextual data via individual and community surveys. The study shows the importance of context (i.e. social, economic, political and policy) in the decision making process of participants, and reflects on communication problems when working in geographically dispersed locations.

偏远地区工作时的参与式设计方法：以阿根廷西北部的Red Puna为例

摘要跨学科的计划正在引起人们对参与式设计方法的需求，这些方法可用于从城市居住区规划到单个建筑物的不同规模。但是，在地理上偏远地区的地方一级开展活动的国际设计团队的参与工具和过程方面，文献上存在差距。本文介绍了国际跨学科团队与阿根廷西北部安第斯农民小社区合作开展的一系列设计研讨会的结果。该团队使用了参与式工具，包括人行道，集体模型制作和定制绘图方法。该团队还通过个人和社区调查收集了上下文数据。研究表明，情境的重要性（即社会，经济，
