This poster presents a new design method based on the use of tarots as a user-centred tool for user profiling and the creation of scenarios. The proposed method allows us to create, using intuition, hypothetical situations and profiles, in order to develop design projects with a user centred approach. It uses the tarot as a metaphor for life. Following the work of Carl Jung in relation to archetypes and collective unconscious, this allows the preparation of cases, but from the point of view of transcendence, independent of culture. The use of archetypes as typified constructs may facilitate the understanding of human behaviour even in intercultural contexts.

Abstract
This poster presents a new design method based on the use of tarots as a user-centred tool for user profiling and the creation of scenarios. The proposed method allows us to create, using intuition, hypothetical situations and profiles, in order to develop design projects with a user centred approach. It uses the tarot as a metaphor for life. Following the work of Carl Jung in relation to archetypes and collective unconscious, this allows the preparation of cases, but from the point of view of transcendence, independent of culture. The use of archetypes as typified constructs may facilitate the understanding of human behaviour even in intercultural contexts.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
