Supporting Research On Gender And Design Amongst Steam Researchers In The Souths: A Case Study Of Subsumption In Design Methods, Chiara Del Gaudio, Bjarki Hallgrimsson, Dominique Marshall
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper tells the story of a research program that subsumed the approaches of design, arts and social sciences to enhance gender aware and inclusive research amongst twenty academic teams of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics located in the Souths. These are the findings of our empirical exploration to support the emergence of a transdisciplinary area of research and practice which we defined as Gendered Design. The key factors that proved crucial to overcome disciplinary boundaries and catalyse processes of empowerment are: theoretical and methodological openness, design-driven strategy and experimentation, as well as a holistic and affective approach to …

Visual plagiarism occurs frequently and is often controversial. This paper conducts an exploratory study to discuss detection criteria and solutions for visual plagiarism. Since visual design involves many fields, considering the ubiquity and diversity of posters, we explore plagiarism based on poster design. We summarize the eight main elements which compose a poster artwork and discuss eight factors that influence plagiarism evaluation from two aspects of “Evaluation Standard” and “Evaluation Method.” We discussed possible solutions based on technology and tools to detect visual plagiarism better and track artwork, supporting a good online design sharing environment.
Service Journeys As Boundary Objects In Participatory Processes For Multi-Stakeholder Engagement: The Case Of The Easyrights Journeys, Maria Vitaller Del Olmo, Nicola Morelli
Service Journeys As Boundary Objects In Participatory Processes For Multi-Stakeholder Engagement: The Case Of The Easyrights Journeys, Maria Vitaller Del Olmo, Nicola Morelli
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Design disciplines are increasingly using journeys as a tool that addresses multiple purposes. Also known as Journey Maps, User Journey, Customer Journey, Experience Journey, or Service Journey, they represent the interaction of a person with a product or service step-by-step. This compilation of data reveals valuable insights for companies, organizations, decision-makers, managers, and service-owners to empathize with their users, triangulate their pain points and identify opportunities for improvement and innovation. Consequently, it is easy to understand the popularity of this method. This paper describes the case of the use of journeys in the easyRights project and presents their value as …

Workgroup Curriculum: Design Students & Teachers Co-Designing New Ways Of Learning, Michael Hohl, Brigitte Hartwig, Uwe Gellert, Klaus Pollmeier, Vanessa Enigk, Tom Gernegross, Lena Kozig
DRS Biennial Conference Series
In this paper we present our ‘workgroup curriculum’, in which a group of dedicated teachers and students work together to devise better ways of learning and teaching to design. Formed in 2018 at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, we work, in voluntary weekly meetings, on developing a more learner centered curriculum and overall learning experience. Our weekly workshops follow a structured approach, crucial however, is that all members encounter one another on an eye level. Roles, such as facilitating, writing minutes, timekeeping, off-topic, are rotated fairly among all participants. Since then the workgroup has resolved small curricular dilemmas while also …
Participatory Design Towards Digital Democracy, Santiago Augusto Silva, Joon Sang Baek
Participatory Design Towards Digital Democracy, Santiago Augusto Silva, Joon Sang Baek
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The potential contributions of participatory design towards current problems of digital democracy platforms are investigated in this research. Literature review, thematic analysis, and inter-rater reliability test were used to determine the major issues in digital democracy platforms and what approaches and tools from participatory design study and practice can be used to address them, considering that democratic dynamics face similar difficulties in both participatory design, and digital democracy. As a result, a participatory design guide for digital democracy is developed, which included seven proposed strategies for dealing with five common issues of public participation platforms. This work contributes to the …
Museum And Exhibit Design: How Forms And Places Of Knowledge Exchange Influence Community Participation And Empowerment, Sophie Nakashima, Chiara Del Gaudio
Museum And Exhibit Design: How Forms And Places Of Knowledge Exchange Influence Community Participation And Empowerment, Sophie Nakashima, Chiara Del Gaudio
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Museums have been criticized for sharing a singular narrative that does not reflect the diverse beliefs and values of their communities. Participatory design has been recognized as an approach capable of processes that allow communities to contribute to designing museums and exhibits. However, as the participatory design processes change according to the specific situation, they can lead to a wide range of outcomes, and degrees of community participation. This paper explores how a specific element of the participatory design approach, knowledge exchange, influences the degree of community participation. Three examples of participatory design processes in museum and exhibit design are …

A Participatory Approach In Urban Development: Co-Designing Resilient Coastal Neighbourhoods, Alazne Echaniz, Sine Celik, Pieter Ham
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Urban development projects are complex processes that involve numerous stakeholders. Lately, urban design has gained a human-centred dynamic to be able to correspond to the needs and aspirations of the stakeholders that form the community. This paper proposes a participatory approach to bring the community to the centre of the design process. Through a case study conducted in the coastal areas of the Philippines, we take a closer look at how co-design can help tackle fragile living situations that emerge from challenging environmental and social conditions. First, future scenarios are co-created with residents in the form of visual summaries, boards …
Functional And Sensible: Patient Monitoring Alarm Tones Designed With Those Who Hear Them, Avery Sen, Yoko Sen, Matt Barile, Sage Palmedo, Andreas Walden, Vitor Vicente Antunes
Functional And Sensible: Patient Monitoring Alarm Tones Designed With Those Who Hear Them, Avery Sen, Yoko Sen, Matt Barile, Sage Palmedo, Andreas Walden, Vitor Vicente Antunes
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This is a case study in participatory design of alarm tones for the Philips IntelliVue patient monitoring system. Through interviews and workshops, we asked clinicians and other stakeholders what mattered to them as we designed new tones. We distilled responses into criteria with which to evaluate new tone options that we created by adjusting the tones’ pitch, timbre, and other parameters. In surveys, participants compared these options using the criteria distilled from interviews. The results were: 1) new tones that stakeholders judged to be improvements over the originals, and 2) criteria for evaluating future tones, based on “functionality” (i.e., their …
Designing Proximity With Situated Stakeholders, Davide Fassi, Francesco Vergani
Designing Proximity With Situated Stakeholders, Davide Fassi, Francesco Vergani
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Neighborhoods are becoming laboratories to test new ways to design the cities to solve social, environmental and cultural issues affecting global cities. The car-centered urban planning experienced in the 20th century has fostered researchers and practitioners to explore more the theme of livability and proximity. To trigger the blossoming of these models, a participatory process involving proactive networks of situated stakeholders is needed. This paper shows how competences from the academic realm can effectively boost civic awareness on the role that situated stakeholders have in producing solutions for their own wellbeing. It highlights a process enacted by the XX Lab …
