Co-Citizen Design Labs In Resilience Making, Stephanie Carleklev, Wendy Fountain
Nordes Conference Series
In this paper we share our resilience making approach for a first year design program in which we work intentionally with scale – through the subject matters of resilience, and through our learning design. We respond to the provocation of matters of scale in design to progress our design research in two ways. The first contributes to discussion of design education's remit from within ecological and existential crises, relative to expanding (design) knowledge. We then give focus to the co-citizen design lab that students conduct to illustrate how the inter-scalar relations we explore manifest through students' design action. Here we …
The Design Fiction Matrix— A Synthesis Tool For Grounding Fiction Scenarios In Real Facts, Peter Vistisen
The Design Fiction Matrix— A Synthesis Tool For Grounding Fiction Scenarios In Real Facts, Peter Vistisen
Nordes Conference Series
This explorative paper presents a didactic synthesis tool to support designers and design students in adopting design fiction as a method for speculative design. We present the theoretical underpinnings behind the development of the framework and the logic of the tool itself while situating the tool among the current discourse on design fiction. Finally, we present a series of reflections upon the recent year’s application of the tool in a design educational setting, showing the different ways the tool can be applied and represented in practice.
Micro-Scale Curriculum Development In Design For Sustainability Education, Karen Marie Hasling, Louise Ravnløkke
Micro-Scale Curriculum Development In Design For Sustainability Education, Karen Marie Hasling, Louise Ravnløkke
Nordes Conference Series
This paper explores and discuss how formalised learning activities, inspired by design methods, can be used as a pedagogic means to support transformative learning in design for sustainability education. The paper departs from the experience that formal efforts with strengthening sustainability in design education are often focusing on macro-level curriculum development; on the progression of courses based on learning objectives and goals and less on what we call micro-level curriculum development, being the actual learning activities constituting a course. In the paper, we introduce a template for formalising learning activities, we present concrete learning activities developed in the context of …
