Abstract
In Europe, the 20th Century is characterised by a dialectic movement for the conquest of participation. The dissolution of ‘non-democratic authorities’ shows up in political, artistic and scientific processes equally. A wrestle for dehierarchisation, equal treatment and participation, for transparency and democratically legitimised sets of rules takes place in order to open the free access to sources of knowledge and for its production to be mediated on all social levels. The foundations of a democratic understanding must be sensitised continuously, to be actualised in vivid and contemporary structures. Transparent, open, artistic and design processes might serve as strategy to balance particular and collective interests, subject to a concern for individuality and freedom. Self-will and individual freedom are the causal engine of social renewal. This is particularly valid for aesthetic and collective oriented processes in creative disciplines like design, architecture, urban planning and art.
