The Co-Design Participatory Power Pyramid, Euan Winton, Paul Rodgers Jun 2024

The Co-Design Participatory Power Pyramid, Euan Winton, Paul Rodgers

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper presents an innovative co-design participatory power pyramid, which foregrounds how people living with dementia (PLWD) are (and can be) involved in co-design projects. The pyramid provides a scale of participant involvement in co-design activities based on the premise that design is a process that encom-passes a series of interlinked activities, actions, and thinking that, when com-bined, result in a designed outcome. The co-design participatory power pyramid has been created to define and better understand the spectrum of co-design projects when working with PLWD. However, it is anticipated that the frame-work will be applicable to other co-design research practices. …

Opening Ceremonies of mega-events captivate a global audience and have the potential of nurturing a sense of community belonging among the population of the host country. From the visual identity to the stage design and its live media broadcast, such ceremonies unite different design practices. The underlying design processes usually depart from a top-down perspective, often prompted by specific social and political realities. As a result, inhabitants may experience a diminished sense of belonging. Participatory approaches are able to challenge oppressive power relations, and are increasingly deployed in mainstream media, yet the scale and complexity of the design of opening …


Intimate Data As Design Material: Designing Tracking Practices For Menstruating Athletes, Alina Wundsam, Alejandra Gomez Ortega, Nazli Cila Jun 2024

Intimate Data As Design Material: Designing Tracking Practices For Menstruating Athletes, Alina Wundsam, Alejandra Gomez Ortega, Nazli Cila

DRS Biennial Conference Series

There is a significant knowledge gap concerning the female body in sports partly due to research in sports physiology narrowly focusing on male athletes. It means hormonal changes around the menstrual cycle have been disregarded from critical considerations and recommendations about training and planning. Similarly, digital tracking technologies, which play an increasingly important role in sports, often overlook the menstrual cycle or invite athletes to reduce a situated and embodied experience into a discrete data point. In this paper, we use intimate data as material to design tracking practices for menstruating athletes. Specifically, we use the principles of Data Feminism …

A Bottom-Up Transformation: Design Empowering Chronic Disease Management Types And Strategies, Renxuan Liu, Duan Wu

DRS Biennial Conference Series

As the population ages, chronic disease management (CDM) has become a challenge for current public health services. Previously, designing for patients with chronic diseases often saw them as passive objects of design, hindering their agency. Understanding patients' agency is very important for health management, but the empowerment approach in the health field is often a disguised paternalism. This study aims to use the empowerment theory to reframe the possibility of the design empowering CDM and propose corresponding means of empowerment. We identified four types of design empowerment in CDM and articulated specific empowerment strategies through case studies. Our study therefore …

Playful Prototyping In Speculative Design Practices, Alberto Calleo Jun 2024

Playful Prototyping In Speculative Design Practices, Alberto Calleo

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Prototyping is a fundamental part of the design process. The iterative as-semblage and manipulation of shapes, textures, colors, and volumes generate re-flections not only about formal qualities but also about possible affordances, functionalities, and meanings. Prototypical artifacts emerge from the negotiation between the informed rational thinking coming from research, the mechanical behavior of the material, the human body ergonomics and dexterity, and the serendipitous discoveries happening in the process. Analyzing the creative dy-namics happening during prototyping, it is possible to observe similarities be-tween model-making and play. Such dynamics of reflection in action have the creative potential to foster speculative inquiry. …

A Llm-Augmented Morphological Analysis Approach For Conceptual Design, Liuqing Chen, Yiyan Tsang, Qianzhi Jing, Lingyun Sun

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Morphological analysis is often used in the conceptual design process because it provides a structured and systematic approach to decompose design problems, improving the completeness and diversity of creative solutions. However, it still relies heavily on designers' professional knowledge and experience when decomposing design problems and proposing solutions, which is a challenge for designers. In this study, we propose an LLMs-augmented morphological analysis approach for conceptual design. We refine the design process as three main stages: decomposition, generation, and combination, offering targeted guidance and support to designers when applying morphological analysis. In addition, we introduced a feedback mechanism to develop …
