Constructing at Home: Understanding the Experience of the Amateur Maker
This study aims to further contribute to the growing body of knowledge about amateur designing and making by generating a deeper understanding of the intrinsic rewards associated with these activities. The study uses a methodology that is built around the tradition of case study based qualitative research, and the use of long, semi-structured depth interviews, site visits and photography. Drawing upon the fieldwork, the analysis identifies the structuring concepts of “investment,” “the project,” “the experience of the moment,” and “the materiality of making”—all of which are found to work in combination to generate powerful motivational forces for amateur makers.
