Abstract This paper presents a case study where participatory design practices were used to design a cultural museum and inaugural exhibition with designers from an Australian university and the Kelabit community in the Highlands of Borneo. We draw on experiences from fieldtrips, across a five-year period, investigating the exchange of expertise between participants. The findings show a shift in roles when sharing expertise throughout our participatory design process. Participants experienced a lack of clarity and a sense of discomfort while participating in the design of the museum resulting in the need to continually negotiate leadership of the project. The designers discovered their role was to facilitate intangible conversations into tangible outcomes, where participatory design tools reshaped conversations rather than designed final artefacts. We argue that when exchanging expertise across cultures in participatory design, participant roles become organic and ambiguous.

跨文化和时间交流专业知识：创建社区博物馆的参与式设计方法

摘要本文提出了一个案例研究，其中使用参与式设计实践与澳大利亚大学和婆罗洲高地的Kelabit社区的设计师一起设计文化博物馆和就职展览。我们利用五年来的实地考察经验，调查参与者之间的专业知识交流。研究结果表明，在我们参与式设计过程中分享专业知识时，角色发生了变化。参加博物馆的设计时，参与者感到缺乏清晰度和不适感，因此需要不断地协商项目的领导权。设计师发现，他们的作用是促进无形的对话转化为切实的结果，参与式设计工具重塑了对话而不是设计最终的人工制品。
