Designing the technology vs Designing the design process

I need to be clear on what the next workshop series will be about.

• Is it a design/research project for developing a technology for supporting different forms of "togetherness" ? or

• Is it a design/research project for exploring designing for relational agency?

the focus might be on designing the design process for the emergence and negotiation of different forms of "relations" between humans and technology.
or
how to design for relations?

exploring the ways the design process might support relationality of agency and its diversity in production and use of technologies.

Critical point: embodying agency-sensitive qualities in a successful way may not necessarily lead to have technologies that are agency-sensitive (i.e modular, open, flexible, configurable??) so do we need to add another design phase to tune the outcomes of the participatory design sessions? or should we assume that if the process involves agency-sensitive qualities, this will lead to agency-sensitive technologies, which may be in many different forms according to the cases? or may agency-sensitive products have some more general properties or may they have particular properties for every case? may be this is also part of the research...
