Changing Products Through New Advancements In Design, Chiara Colombi, Venere Ferraro, Kwanmyung Kim
IASDR Conference Series
The present article discusses the importance of new processes, emerging materials, and new technologies as key strategies for conceiving, designing, and producing innovative products and systems. Over the past decade, advancements in these fields have significantly influenced how products and systems are conceptualized and designed, impacting the entire value chain and the methods for creating and changing business models. This transformation enables speculation and the crafting of new artifacts and future scenarios by altering how products are developed, upgraded, and updated, offering benefits in idea creation, experimentation, testing, and sustainability. The article presents the main topics through the subjects of …
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

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 …
The Future Archives: A Speculative Approach For Visualising The Impacts Of 6g-Enabled Infrastructure In Japan, Georgia Mackenzie, Federico Trucchia, Hemal Dias

6G-enabled technologies are set to become an integral part of the infrastructure within the next decade. This paper provides a speculative design-based approach to shape future technology development. We do this by leveraging current technologies to simulate future network capabilities. Specifically, we focus on how the 6G network could transform mobility in Japan. We begin with an overview of the country’s societal macro trends, the current state of technologies, and the expected novel capabilities of 6G. We then introduce four scenarios, used as the basis for developing two types of outcomes. These include physical prototypes to simulate novel interactions enabled …

The future of urban mobility is expected to experience significant changes with the introduction of emerging technologies: non-human actors, immersive experiences, and location accuracy. Speculative design processes that enable walkable urban environments will become critical for sustainable and inclusive cities. This paper explores challenges and opportunities in designing walkability for Japanese train stations, known for unique features and high density. The paper proposes a framework for improving walkability using a multicultural approach that combines field research with speculative design tactics and lo-fi prototyping. The proposed framework leverages collective movement models and design paradigms to enhance individual and collective walkability. The …
