There's a constant dialogue in participatory work about how to make peoples' contributions meaningful. I've written about different structures for participatory processes (especially in museums), and recently, I've been interested in how we can apply these structures to the design of public space.

Last week, the local newspaper did a really generous front-page story on my museum (the MAH) and the changes here over the past eight months since I started. We started the summer with no money and a strategic vision to be a thriving, central gathering place. but I didn't have numbers to back it up. Or at least preliminary ones.

Specifically, we analyze the relative social behavior of people on buses versus those on trains, and look for clues as to what design elements contribute to different kinds of participatory behavior.
