We’Ve Never Learned To Talk About It’: Considerations For Design Researchers To Address Intimacy And Sexuality., Yoni Lefévre, Niels Hendriks, Andrea Wilkinson
IASDR Conference Series
This paper aims to learn from existing design research literature on taboo topics to inform the development of a research project about sexual health in later life. Participatory design approaches can play a role to better understand the complexities of researching taboos and navigate in sensitive situations. A rapid literature review focused on taboos related to people’s individual sexual experiences of the body, resulted in identifying five actionable design considerations: 1) make taboos visible and interactive for people to respond to, 2) use humor to overcome the awkwardness of taboos, 3) design together on taboo subjects for more inclusive futures, …
Designing The Prosthetic Appearance In Virtual Reality With The Collaboration Of Participants And Users, Ming-Huang Lin, Ling Lee
Designing The Prosthetic Appearance In Virtual Reality With The Collaboration Of Participants And Users, Ming-Huang Lin, Ling Lee
IASDR Conference Series
Based on the approach of research through design, this research combines virtual reality (VR) and participatory design method to develop and customize the appearance of wearable assistive devices. It attempts to test the efficiency of developing designs with the help of VR, especially the collaborative capabilities with various participants and users without design background. The study cases are three wearable assistive device users (one shoulder amputation (AE) case and two hand deformity cases) at our partner institution, Disabled Reconstruction Center of Taipei Veterans General Hospital, with the design goal of helping them design prosthetic accessories. The research focuses on testing …
Why Design Matters In Local Business Commoning, Yedam Ryou, Chorong Kim, Eunji Woo, Ki-Young Nam
Why Design Matters In Local Business Commoning, Yedam Ryou, Chorong Kim, Eunji Woo, Ki-Young Nam

The role of design is vital in facilitating the collaborative activities among various stakeholders in "commoning". Commoning local businesses can lead to the revitalization of a local economy with the local residents generating both commercial and social benefits. However, commoning in general is geared toward creating social benefits. As such, the existing model of commoning is not suitable for local business commoning. The few existing cases of local business commoning show that residents and proprietors benefit from exchanging resources based on their needs, but these exchanges tend to take place in ad-hoc and/or one-off ways. Therefore, this research aims to …
Design Principles For A Workshop Using 3d Food Printers: Participatory Digital Food Design Research, Kazuhiro Ogata, Daijiro Mizuno
Design Principles For A Workshop Using 3d Food Printers: Participatory Digital Food Design Research, Kazuhiro Ogata, Daijiro Mizuno
IASDR Conference Series
This paper reports on the methodology of a workshop conducted to envision the food of the future practically. We also analyse the characteristics and effectiveness of the food design workshop based on insights derived from the workshop results and propose requirements for designing workshops in the future. The workshop participants teamed up with students to conduct prototyping using a 3D food printer, which is gaining attention as a tool for food technology. In addition, they created future scenarios based on the assumption that writing a scenario would be valid for examining future food from the user's perspective. We collected qualitative …
From E-Waste To Jewellery: Creating Emotionally Durable Jewellery With The Metal Recovered From Electronic Waste, Kunning Ding
From E-Waste To Jewellery: Creating Emotionally Durable Jewellery With The Metal Recovered From Electronic Waste, Kunning Ding
IASDR Conference Series
It is estimated that the electrical equipment discarded in 2021 weighs more than 57 million tonnes. Less than one-fifth of this electronic waste (e-waste) is recycled. Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are an integral component of any electronic equipment, and this is a useful type of waste due to its high metal content of nearly 30%. This practice-based research aims to explore how to transform metals recovered from e-waste using a hydrometallurgy technique (that works with metals in solution) into wearable jewellery. There are two parts unfolded in this research, one is from a technical perspective, applying electroforming that works with …
