Human-Ai System Co-Creativity For Building Narrative Worlds, Anca Serbanescu, Franck Nack
Human-Ai System Co-Creativity For Building Narrative Worlds, Anca Serbanescu, Franck Nack
IASDR Conference Series
This paper explores the human-AI system co-creativity for building narrative worlds (NWs) through active human-machine collaboration. It proposes a hypothesis of structuring a narrative world for the AI system, working on the gap between the main disciplines of Design Studies and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Through the lens of the creative collaboration between humans and AI, this paper finds the emerging field of Interactive Digital Narrative (IDN) that stands in the abovementioned gap. Creativity has long been considered unique to humans, but in this contribution, creativity is considered in collaboration with an AI entity. The AI system becomes a tool for …
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 …

Ai In Design Idea Development: A Workshop On Creativity And Human-Ai Collaboration, Fabio Antonio Figoli, Lucia Rampino, Francesca Mattioli
DRS Biennial Conference Series
In a fast-paced society, AI systems can prove to be reliable teammates alongside human agents during the early stages of the design process, capable of helping to manage the increasing complexity of projects. Therefore, the introduction of AI systems into the design process is analysed according to the implications on the designer’s creativity and the kind of human-AI collaboration that is established, highlighting trust balance and the new role played by the designer. The main aspects covered by the study were tested in a workshop, in which continuous and discontinuous human-AI collaboration were compared. In the case of continuous collaboration, …
Identifying Problem Frames In Design Conversation, Senthil Chandrasegaran, Peter Lloyd, Almila Akdag Salah
Identifying Problem Frames In Design Conversation, Senthil Chandrasegaran, Peter Lloyd, Almila Akdag Salah
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Design thinking concepts such as framing, storytelling, and co-evolution, have been widely identified as part of design activity though generally have been evidenced from manual coding of design conversations and close reading of transcripts. The increase in easy-to-use computational linguistic methodologies provides an opportunity not only to validate these concepts, but compare them to other kinds of activity in large datasets. However, the process of systematically identifying such concepts in design conversation is not straightforward. In this paper we explore methods of linguistic analysis for revealing problem frames within design process transcripts. We find that frames can be identified through …
Effects Of Certain Selected Stimuli In The Physical School Environment On Learning And Behavior, Anne Taylor
Effects Of Certain Selected Stimuli In The Physical School Environment On Learning And Behavior, Anne Taylor
Learn X Design Conference Series
In response to this conference’s call for papers, and after years of giving lectures, writing articles for journals and justification of copious research and development, I have found that a photograph or graphic is worth a thousand words. Hence, I have chosen to write a paper that shows examples of programming and design of prototypical learning environments and to share their effects on learning and behavior quantitively and qualitatively. The value of this paper goes beyond research and gives readers some ideas to think about in their own work that will inspire and motivate the reader to go beyond where …

Using Creative Practice In Interdisciplinary Education, Bilge Merve Aktaş, Camilla Groth
Learn X Design Conference Series
Interdisciplinary approaches in education help future professionals build better understanding and a common language between disciplines and individuals. To make such leaps, skills in adjusting to new situations and rapidly changing knowledge systems are needed. Such skills are intrinsic to design practice, and design and making practices lend themselves well to such personal development. Design and making activities also offer opportunities for students from different disciplines to gather around central topics and engage in interdisciplinary discussions about matters that concern everyone and to materialize their understanding while reflecting on their personal process. In this paper, we present a course design …

Doing Research In Design: Inquiry Of The Key Competences Needed To Integrate Research In Design Practice, Sandra Dittenberger, Stefan Moritsch, Agnes Raschauer, Julia Pintsuk-Christof
Learn X Design Conference Series
Over the last decades, design research and design practice have become intertwined in a new way and design study programmes have to react to these changes, providing students with the ability to link their creative practice with scientific research. Design education has to develop solutions for this new demand and support these profound changes of the discipline itself by addressing these issues from the very beginning of design education on, the BA-level. In order to better understand what the problems are when carrying out research in design, this paper aims to contribute to the topic of the integration of research …

Social Implementation Of Design Workshops Output: Research On Factors Leading To A Project Successful Introduction And Application, Yanfang Zhang, Christian Cruz, Shinichiro Ito, Tokushu Inamura
Learn X Design Conference Series
This paper is a summary of the analyzed experiences collected from ‘social implementation projects’ which started as participatory design workshops. Since there is very little research done on social implementation methods based on these kinds of workshops outcome, this study aims to review the projects that were successfully implemented and clarify the factors leading to their successful social realization. Using a qualitative approach, archival data was reviewed and project leaders were interviewed, which shed light over the characteristics necessary for the successful enactment of the ideas sprung from the workshops. This study shows there are four essential attributes that a …

How Can We Make It Better? Translating An Innovative Medical Model Into Cutting Edge Design Curriculum, Barbara Mcfall, Cindy Beacham, Kathryn Burton, Ron Dulaney Jr.
Learn X Design Conference Series
This is a story of design – of designing a viable present in transition from an increasingly obsolete past to a transformative future. More specifically, Karl Aspelund’s seven design process steps (2010) provided the framework for our curriculum redesign at a typical American Land Grant University. The inspiration surfaced from a combination of necessity and vision based on conditions within and around our design unit. Identification of the design problem resulted in key findings, among them that ours is a small design unit in a large university that explicitly favors STEM disciplines. Conceptualization provided a focus on human-centered design culture …
Normal Creativity: What 1,038 T-Shirts Can Tell You About Design Education, Peter Lloyd, Derek Jones
Normal Creativity: What 1,038 T-Shirts Can Tell You About Design Education, Peter Lloyd, Derek Jones
Learn X Design Conference Series
The study of creativity in design has tended to emphasise its value, scarcity, and location in the individual designer rather than in choices made by a consuming public in the context of a wider culture. This paper, in presenting and developing a view of creativity in design as a normal concept, will present initial results from a study of 1038 student design assignments obtained from a distance-learning course in Design Thinking from The Open University in the UK. We show how ‘normal’ distributions of design outputs can be contived from a structured design process and argue that the creativity that …

Designing Teaching—Teaching Designing: Teacher’S Guidance In A Virtual Design Studio, Henna Lahti, Pirita Seitamaa-Hakkarainen
Learn X Design Conference Series
This study examined pedagogical aspects of virtual designing. It focused on how an industrial design teacher organized a plastic product design course and how the teacher guided student teams’ design processes in a virtual design studio. The model of Learning by Collaborative Designing was used as a pedagogical and analytical framework. The study employed qualitative content analysis of the teacher’s notes posted to the Moodle database. The results indicated that teaching exhibited three characteristic emphases: problem driven, solution driven and procedural driven. The main part of the teacher’s notes was solution driven statements, including new information, design ideas and evaluating …

An Effect Of Multidisciplinary Design Education: Creative Problem Solving In Collaborative Design Process, Da Eun Kwon, Sun Hee Jang
Learn X Design Conference Series
This study verified whether the students who received multidisciplinary education can be considered to have attained more creative problem-solving abilities than the students who majored only in design, based on their completion of a project after teaming with students from various other departments. When it is heterogeneous and in the in-depth discussion stage, the EMT (heterogeneous teams, including multidisciplinary design major) produced more creative output than the EDT (heterogeneous team, including design-only major) as a result of an experiment. Therefore we compared the creative process of the EDT and the EMT in the in-depth discussion stage of the heterogeneous groups …

The purpose of this paper is to describe the development and rationale for the design of the Digital Process Book (DPB) learning tool for design education at the University level and discuss the similarities with applications to learning tools in K12 science education. The DPB is an interactive learning environment that is intended to promote reflection throughout a student’s design process, as well as integrate important scaffolding elements in the system that supplements the traditional inperson contact between a student and an instructor. It is based on tenets of Cognitive Load Theory, which argues that learners are not able to …
Facilitating Teamwork In The Design Process: Repertory Grid As An Approach To Exploratory Inquiry, Anne Louise Bang, Kirsten Nissen
Facilitating Teamwork In The Design Process: Repertory Grid As An Approach To Exploratory Inquiry, Anne Louise Bang, Kirsten Nissen
Nordes Conference Series
By approaching the Repertory Grid as an exploratory design game and drawing on insight in diagrammatic reasoning we argue that this approach is useful in supporting team work in the design process. In this article we draw on two courses inviting textile design students to contribute to the development of the Repertory Grid – originated in psychology as a one-to-one interview technique – into a tool for articulation and dialogue. Especially the concept of eliciting bipolar constructs using the triadic difference – asking how two elements are alike but different from a third one – proves to support in-depth investigations, …
