| Abstract: | This article aims to report and analyze the main findings of a study on how constraints affect the engagement and creativity of non-designers in co-creation activities. It focuses particularly on identifying the limits and potentials of using a physical interface to address tectonic and renewable energy aspects within the design process. To explore these issues, this study adopted a qualitative case study approach, combining co-design charrettes mediated by a physical interface with a mapping process used as the primary analytical and evaluative framework. The interface allows users to anticipate the structural behavior and construction aspects of small roundwood structures from the Brazilian Caatinga biome, as well as the operation of solar energy systems—all without prior technical training. Despite its limitations, this study offers three main contributions: (a) it demonstrates that interfaces and charrettes can include non-designers in technical design processes; (b) it highlights the pedagogical, technical, and political potential of these tools in democratizing architectural decisions; and (c) it emphasizes the value of constraints as generative elements in creative processes—a topic still underexplored in the co-design literature.
