Design For Policy And Governance: New Technologies, New Methodologies, Marzia Mortati, Scott Schmidt, Louise Mullagh
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This position paper pays particular attention to new and upcoming areas of re-search where design disciplines and policy studies are exploring new ways to-ward convergence. This involves in particular the examination of ways in which creativity-based methodologies (i.e., co-creation and co-production) are being used in conjunction with new technologies (i.e., big data and algorithms) to de-liver better policies and services. The papers examined fall into three areas in-cluding institutions and citizen engagement, new technologies and practices, and frameworks and methods. We conclude by proposing a research agenda to ad-vance Design for Policy and Governance. The following is taken from the …

Designing New Financial Transactions: Theories, Case Studies, Methods, Practice And Futures, Chris Elsden, Inte Gloerich, Bettina Nissen
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Talking about money can be difficult; designing with it, harder still. Though design is increasingly ‘value-centred’, this theme-track proposes the need for critical attention to how we actually represent, transact and exchange what we value. In this editorial, we offer some background to the topic, describe potential areas of development for design researchers and practitioners, and introduce the papers presented through this theme at DRS 2022.

Design As An Agent Of Narratives: A Conceptual Framework And A First Exploration In The Context Of Inclusive Paediatric Mobility Design, Cara Shaw, Farnaz Nickpour
Design As An Agent Of Narratives: A Conceptual Framework And A First Exploration In The Context Of Inclusive Paediatric Mobility Design, Cara Shaw, Farnaz Nickpour
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Although much of human experience is qualitative, front-end design documentation typically defaults to quantification which can abstract, dilute or lose meaning and reasoning with regards to lived experiences. Narratives are a well-established channel for gathering rich qualitative insights around individual and collective experiences, perceptions and values. However, the potential to advance the role of design beyond simply an embodiment agent for dominant narratives - to an agent for uncovering, interrogating, speculating, and scaling a diversity of narrative ‘classes’ and ‘statuses’ - is yet to be fully explored. This paper proposes a conceptual framework positioning design as an agent of narratives …
Graphic Design And Artificial Intelligence: Interdisciplinary Challenges For Designers In The Search For Research Collaboration, Yaron Meron
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The introduction of electronic publishing, multimedia, the web and social media have influenced and presented challenges for graphic design. Now the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) features within graphic design software enables practitioners to automate many design processes. However, this threatens to deskill the profession and create a second tier of ‘non-professional’ designers, particularly within less creative work that emphasises fast turnover and functional artefact production. Research at the intersection of AI and graphic design has been led by computer scientists. This paper argues, from a designer’s perspective, that a paucity of scholarly engagement by graphic designers with their own …
Implementation Intention As A Debiasing Intervention For A Bias Blind Spot Among Ux Practitioners, Oana Bogdescu, Michael Mose Biskjaer, Alwin De Rooij
Implementation Intention As A Debiasing Intervention For A Bias Blind Spot Among Ux Practitioners, Oana Bogdescu, Michael Mose Biskjaer, Alwin De Rooij
DRS Biennial Conference Series
When designing digital products that millions of people use, User Experience (UX) practitioners are prone to typical cognitive biases that might threaten the quality of their work. A barrier for mitigating such biases is the bias blind spot: People are more likely to detect bias in others than in themselves. Since practitioners have no standard means to diminish the bias blind spot, this paper investigates the prospect of implementation intention, designed as a commitment to consider how one evaluates others when evaluating oneself, as a debiasing intervention. As a preliminary study, an online experiment was conducted among 123 UX practitioners …
Healthricious: Improving An Existing Mobile App For Healthy Eating To Support Groups At Risk Of Covid-19, Sander Hermsen
Healthricious: Improving An Existing Mobile App For Healthy Eating To Support Groups At Risk Of Covid-19, Sander Hermsen
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Urgent health issues, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, require rapid responses based on scientific evidence. Improving existing solutions is often faster, more effective and cheaper than developing new ones. This paper describes a case study consisting of a design cycle aimed at improving an existing design, a mobile app, to better support at-risk groups with healthy nutrition, to reduce risk of debilitating consequences of COVID-19. The design process consisted of five phases: user research (lived experience), expert consultations (learned experience), behavioural analysis of the original design, development of a new iteration, and delivery & evaluation. The case study showed that …

Applying Design-Led Approaches To Public Sector Innovation: A Case Study Of New Zealand’S Service Innovation Lab, Jane Lehtinen
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper adds to emerging research on the application of design-led approaches to public policy and services by public sector innovation labs. It presents key findings from the first in-depth case study on the New Zealand government Service Innovation Lab, which operated between 2017 and 2020 as part of broader public sector efforts for citizen-centric digital transformation. Based on a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews and organizational documentation, it discusses how the challenges of applying the Lab’s design-led approach in this public sector context were navigated by professionals involved with the Lab over time. The findings reveal that to navigate …
Developing Play Tarot Cards To Support Playful Learning In Teacher Education, Helle Marie Skovbjerg, Helle Hovgaard Jørgensen, Keila Zarl Perez Quinones, Tilde Bekker
Developing Play Tarot Cards To Support Playful Learning In Teacher Education, Helle Marie Skovbjerg, Helle Hovgaard Jørgensen, Keila Zarl Perez Quinones, Tilde Bekker
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Via two design-based research experiments, this paper explores how we can design a tool to support designing for playful learning in teacher education. Several recent review studies show that integrating play qualities into a learning context is not always easy. We design a set of tarot cards with the aim of exploring actions in learning situations and play qualities for those specific actions. Our experiments show that using the tarot cards as a way for students and teachers to reflect and come up with further playful learning designs brings in a broader diversity of play qualities, especially qualities that are …
A Place We Call Home: Curriculum For Land-Based Education, Adolfo Ruiz
A Place We Call Home: Curriculum For Land-Based Education, Adolfo Ruiz
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper describes initial research into the creation of curriculum that combines visual communication design with local Indigenous knowledge in the Tłı̨chǫ Dene region of subarctic Canada. This curriculum is intended for regional youth, and to be accredited by the Faculty of Extension at the University of Alberta. Situated outside dominant models of design education, the following sections illustrate the significant role that embodied knowledge and relationality can play in land-based pedagogy. As part of this discussion, the field of design is situated as an intermediary between an Indigenous community and a Western academic institution. Through a reflexive, narrative form …

Tool For Assessing Supply Side Governance: Fma & Set Policy Analysis Approach, Prabhakar Kollapudi
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper presents a conceptual framework for the application of a tool Citizen Report Card Plus (CRC+) for assessing the quality and effectiveness of public governance, importantly looking into Accountability, Transparency and Time bound public Service delivery. Tool demonstrates the use of this framework by applying it to the working of the “investigation fund” of Karnataka Police Department. Tool considers this a supply side intervention as it can work only when records and internal data of government are available and government agencies are receptive to the findings. The tool presented in this paper goes beyond the identification of the problems …
Technologies And Collaborative Services Proximity In The Smart Cities: Distributed Ledger As A Push For New Relationships, Stefania Palmieri, Mario Bisson, Alessandro Ianniello, Riccardo Palomba, Luca Botta
Technologies And Collaborative Services Proximity In The Smart Cities: Distributed Ledger As A Push For New Relationships, Stefania Palmieri, Mario Bisson, Alessandro Ianniello, Riccardo Palomba, Luca Botta
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The expected demographic densification presents specific critical points where op-portunities for improving citizens' lives can be identified. For this reason, projects are underway to analyze and explore the dynamics of cities to adapt to new con-texts. Several European cities, including Milan, Paris, and Barcelona, are already implementing changes to encourage new types of neighborhood organizations which revolve around the concept of proximity, and primary services close to home. In this context, it seems fundamental to seek connectivity, encouraging new forms of relationships between citizens. The use of new digital tools, such as blockchain, favors new types of autonomous organizations that …
Involving Craft Know-How And Traditions In Design Education: Cases Of Switzerland, Turkey And India, Bettina Minder, Özlem Er, Shilpa Das
Involving Craft Know-How And Traditions In Design Education: Cases Of Switzerland, Turkey And India, Bettina Minder, Özlem Er, Shilpa Das
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The design profession evolved during technologically transformative times of industrialization. While the requirements of mass production have been the major paradigm shaping the nature of industrial design education in industrialised countries, developing countries also embraced it despite their late and peculiar processes of industrialisation. The idea was that the industrial sectors in these countries would also need industrial designers who are able to design products for mass production. This, in turn, caused the ignorance of crafts or at best the view to keep them as a source of product ideas that would appeal to tourists or export markets looking for …

Health Information Design Model (Hidem): A Replicable Model Of The Design Process For Data-Intensive Applications In Health Informatics, Antonio Solano, Miso Kim
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Genetic and healthcare data have experienced an explosion in the last decade and with it, a deluge of new and cutting-edge research as well as digital tools and software. However, visualizing and working with such large amounts of information also poses organizational challenges in transdisciplinary collaboration between scientific domain experts and design professionals. We propose Health Information Design Model (HIDeM), a collaborative process model with a novel series of principles and activities that tackle the specific nature of digital, data-intensive products for scientific research while considering different organizational contexts. The model was developed in collaboration with several domain experts in …
Beyond Progress: Exploring Alternative Trajectories For Design Museums, Anja Neidhardt, Heather Wiltse, Anna Croon
Beyond Progress: Exploring Alternative Trajectories For Design Museums, Anja Neidhardt, Heather Wiltse, Anna Croon
DRS Biennial Conference Series
How can design museums be disentangled from systems like patriarchy, so that they become able to support change towards more justice? To explore this question, we use our standpoint as design researchers in combination with a feminist perspective. Historically, most design museums supported a path of progress which supposedly leads straight from the past into the future. Even though today attempts to change design museums can be observed, criteria for good design and methods for collecting and exhibiting mainly stay unchanged. However, when questioning them, it becomes clear that they were shaped by a white, male, imperialist perspective. Through shifting …
Design As Posture: Developing Enlightened Subjectivity With The Philosophy Of Yoga, Estelle Berger
Design As Posture: Developing Enlightened Subjectivity With The Philosophy Of Yoga, Estelle Berger
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This research aims at supporting designers in developing a both embodied and reflective posture in practice – referred to as “enlightened subjectivity”. A dialogue is set up between the Samkhya, an early Buddhist philosophy at the basis of Yoga, and the design discipline. Grounded in practical experience, this inspirational framework allows approaching the sense-making process occurring in practice, through perception, understanding, action, and relation. This is sustained by professional posture, the specific way in which one invests their activity, giving it substance, meaning and justification. Implications for design education relate to increasing awareness among designers on their own posture, and …
Repair As A Social Design Practice: Three Case Studies In Vulnerable Households In Chile, Pedro Alvarez Caselli, Antonio Batlle Lathrop
Repair As A Social Design Practice: Three Case Studies In Vulnerable Households In Chile, Pedro Alvarez Caselli, Antonio Batlle Lathrop
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The work presented herein addresses the socio-material implications and spontaneous design actions that emerge from the home repair practices of household objects in low-income areas. Through qualitative research and contextual inquiry from the investigation of their praxis (Cross, 2007), we reassess the principles of planned obsolescence associated with product design and throw-away culture. Within the framework of matters of care of non-human devices that are part of a social assembly, a theoretical discussion develops around certain actions; in particular, repairing everyday household objects, as design solutions. The exploratory methodology of this project is based on literature review and on-site case …
