Future In Place: Participatory Future Scenario Planning For Place-Based Local Policymaking, Radka Newton, Jekaterina Rindt, Mirian Calvo
Future In Place: Participatory Future Scenario Planning For Place-Based Local Policymaking, Radka Newton, Jekaterina Rindt, Mirian Calvo
DRS Biennial Conference Series
An increasing body of evidence suggests that the global emergence of Policy Innovation Labs over the last twenty years has marked a significant milestone in promoting-facilitating design-driven innovation in policymaking. However, the challenges associated with confining design expertise to the periphery of labs, and the focus of Policy Innovation Labs on national government, leaves regional and local policymaking in the trenches of legacy systems, processes, and skills. This limitation is problematic as it hinders the adaptation of local policies to address the unique challenges they face. Learning from, and moving beyond Policy Innovation Labs (considering their low cost-effectiveness), this paper …
Design Principles Of The Pluriversal Design Paradigm, Eveline Van Zeeland
Design Principles Of The Pluriversal Design Paradigm, Eveline Van Zeeland
DRS Biennial Conference Series
When scientists embrace a different paradigm, this naturally leads to a shift in aca-demic behavior. While the importance and necessity of the pluriversal design framework are evident, understanding how this paradigm influences academic conduct is less clear. Through a systematic literature review of 103 academic papers on the pluriversal approach, it is deducted what it is that researchers do or suggest to do when shaping their research and design practice through the pluriversal de-sign paradigm. In this study, the pluriversal design paradigm is distilled into a set of foundational prerequisites and design principles. These design principles can be applied by …
Designer-Maker: Merging Cognition And Construction In Practice-Led Design Research, Laureen Mahler
Designer-Maker: Merging Cognition And Construction In Practice-Led Design Research, Laureen Mahler
DRS Biennial Conference Series
In the decades since the establishment of design research, efforts to identify the nature of design knowledge have repeatedly returned to the question of design’s relationship to science. The resulting debate is often framed by the opposing tenets of positivism and constructivism, and this gap continues to characterize research across the discipline. This paper challenges the paradigmatic divide between cognition and construction through an examination of practice-led design research and, more specifically, a redefinition of the designer-maker. It presents perceptual space as an active, multimodal medium where cognition and construction emerge simultaneously, as evidenced by the work of the designer-maker. …

When A Tree Says No: Towards A More-Than-Human Consent Notion For Design, Franca Lopez Barbera
When A Tree Says No: Towards A More-Than-Human Consent Notion For Design, Franca Lopez Barbera
DRS Biennial Conference Series
A growing body of more-than-human approaches in design reconsider and re-articulate design’s relationship to the natural world through relational frameworks. However, such endeavours do not come without difficulties and may even reproduce the very logics they seek to overcome. Despite the prolific efforts within the design community, overcoming the modern/colonial legacies of design and its anthropocentric paradigm remains a formidable challenge. Departing from the Quebracho Colorado tree as a guiding example, this paper delves into a gender and decolonial analysis of the notion of consent that underscores design’s role in reproducing extractive approaches to nature. It then goes on to …
Using Contemplative Approaches In Education As A Pathway To Cultivating Hope In Design-Driven Futuring, Francesco Michele Noera, Luca Simeone, Rike Neuhoff
Using Contemplative Approaches In Education As A Pathway To Cultivating Hope In Design-Driven Futuring, Francesco Michele Noera, Luca Simeone, Rike Neuhoff
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Amidst the challenges of our time, characterized by pervasive uncertainty and global crises, despair often overshadows hope. Within the context of design-driven futuring, where long-term futures and possibilities are envisioned and shaped, the absence of hope can leave designers feeling powerless and doubting the impact of their work on a predetermined world. Yet, hope is a human experience that can be nurtured. This research explores the inner world of design students, addressing their emotions, thoughts, and perceptions. We conducted design experiments in Master's programs in Denmark and Italy, adopting a contemplative approach during design-driven futuring processes. Contemplative practices, known for …
Translation As An Explicit Practice In Design Research, Rosie Hornbuckle, Rowan Page
Translation As An Explicit Practice In Design Research, Rosie Hornbuckle, Rowan Page
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Translation as a practice, has many applications and histories. In a research context, the translation of knowledge from one domain to another brings scientific knowledge and critical ideas to people and industries. Translation between different forms of knowledge can enable collaboration between research, industry, policy and society to enable systemic knowledge co-production and impact. This paper explores the ways that design is intrinsically translational, and why translation is now becoming an expanded and explicit practice in design research. As the complexity of multidisciplinary and multistakeholder collaborative research increases, the translational nature of design could play a vital role in convening …
Discovering Design Implications For Future Food Experiencing Artifacts, Yağmur Kocaman, Damla Gözde Kocaman, Oğuzhan Özcan
Discovering Design Implications For Future Food Experiencing Artifacts, Yağmur Kocaman, Damla Gözde Kocaman, Oğuzhan Özcan
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Despite the growing number of research in Human-Food Interaction (HFI), studies mainly adopt a technology-oriented approach. The field focuses on creating foods computationally, leaving the device design neglected. This paper addresses this oversight by focusing on a prominent technology as a case study (i.e., 3D Food Printing) and exploring new forms and meanings HFI technologies may embody. We first explored domestic users' food-related dynamics, habits, and preferences in everyday life (N=19). We then present the outcomes of design workshops with 25 professional designers, resulting in 73 unique concepts aligned with the in-sights from domestic kitchen users. Overall, we extracted ten …
Expanding Participatory Design: Reflections On Current Epistemological Framework In Dark Time, Zi Yang, Kin Wai Michael Siu, Xinzhe Zhao
Expanding Participatory Design: Reflections On Current Epistemological Framework In Dark Time, Zi Yang, Kin Wai Michael Siu, Xinzhe Zhao
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Participatory design is a quintessential representation of human-centeredness. The recent climate crisis and threats to survival have pushed designers to consider the well-being of non-human entities. Many designers have already attempted to incorporate non-human entities (including animals, forests, and rivers) into the design process. They have strived to refine and readjust design thinking and practice within the participatory design framework. However, most practices resemble the 'pseudo-participation' of human subjective imagination. This study raises ethical and ontological epistemological issues based on Latour's profound philosophical insights. Specifically, in the case of non-human entities participating in our future becoming, how will the role …
Contours In Blurred Design Spaces: More-Than-Human Participation Of Artifacts In Design-In-Use, Evert Van Beek
Contours In Blurred Design Spaces: More-Than-Human Participation Of Artifacts In Design-In-Use, Evert Van Beek
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Contemporary design practice requires a more-than-human orientation to deal with computational artifacts. In this paper I discuss how the participation of artifacts in design activities during use time blurs categories of design, use and artifact. I use the analytical concept of design space, informed by a framework of co-performance to highlight some contours in this blurred situation. To do so I adopt a critical design approach, and present three conceptual smart thermostats based on the concepts of framing, tinkering and scripts. This contributes to awareness and discussions of design-in-use and the role of artifacts in an increasingly automated and connected …
Delinking Design: Decolonialidad & Transmodernidad In Future Design Education In Abya Yala, Ricardo Sosa
Delinking Design: Decolonialidad & Transmodernidad In Future Design Education In Abya Yala, Ricardo Sosa
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The work presented here interrogates the future of design education by presenting the early development of a new curriculum in a small rural university in the P´urhepécha region, Mexico. The new undergraduate program is created drawing from the literature on decoloniality and transmodernity to reimagine design education. The interplay between this early work and a systematic inquiry of coloniality leads to new ways of thinking about design education and design at large in this context. This work contributes to a South-South dialogue seeking to undo coloniality in creative pedagogical practices and to reimagine what it means to design and to …
Exploring The 'Defining-Finding Dilemma' In Design Research: Insights From A Series Of Speculative Co-Design Workshops, Mayane Dore, Joseph Lindley, David Green, Jesse Benjamin
Exploring The 'Defining-Finding Dilemma' In Design Research: Insights From A Series Of Speculative Co-Design Workshops, Mayane Dore, Joseph Lindley, David Green, Jesse Benjamin
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper shares the results of a series of speculative co-design workshops that employed sketches and visual metaphors to facilitate collective discussions about a hypothetical Design Research database. The primary objective of these workshops was to explore the challenges related to documenting, sharing, searching, and discovering Design Research examples while simultaneously addressing underlying questions surrounding knowledge-making in the field. Following this approach, we identify six distinctive qualities that characterize Design Research, shedding light on what is referred to as the defining-finding dilemma. The paper finally suggests potential pathways for interaction design to navigate this issue through alternative modes of interaction.
A Theory Instrument For Reimagining Embodied Practices, Ayşe Özge Ağça, Jelle Van Dijk, Jacob Buur, Harun Kaygan
A Theory Instrument For Reimagining Embodied Practices, Ayşe Özge Ağça, Jelle Van Dijk, Jacob Buur, Harun Kaygan
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Embodied Sensemaking Theory describes how people make sense in ongoing interactions with the social and material world. It has potential in projects aimed at changing embodied practices. However, designers often find it challenging to use this complex theory. We build on recent research on tangible ‘Theory Instruments’ for designers. We designed a Theory Instrument for embodied sensemaking with design students who design for social interactions and with young people who investigate their energy consumption. Our analysis of 12 experimental sessions shows how Embodied Sensemaking Theory helps reimagine human practices towards more sustainable futures. Our contribution is two-fold: We show that …

A Third Place As A Space To Foster Citizen Participation And Their Empowerment: The Case Of “La Ruche À Projets”, Louise Masciarelli, Maxim Lamirande, Isabelle Dalimier, Audrey Mertens, Catherine Elsen, Clémentine Schelings
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This exploratory qualitative research underlines architectural properties of a res-idential house that was repurposed as a temporary creative space. Findings were compared against existing theory on third places (particularly creative spaces) and their relationship with citizen participation, empowerment, and social change. Overall, the “homey” character creates a sense of belonging and occu-pants seem eager to decorate and furnish with personal effects. Findings reveal tensions between large open and smaller closed spaces to reflect on how flow, accessibility, occupancy, and intimacy are affected. Occupant behaviors lead to wonder about the tensions between community, codesign, empowerment, and ownership. Findings help question how …
Empowerment Through Participation? Three Case Studies Of Social Design Projects With Disadvantaged Female Communities In Hungary, Janka Csernák
Empowerment Through Participation? Three Case Studies Of Social Design Projects With Disadvantaged Female Communities In Hungary, Janka Csernák
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Participatory methods are widely used in design, but it’s important to take a critical stance towards how they impact vulnerable communities in the context of today's societal crisis (Juarez et al., 2008). This paper presents recent findings from the comparison of three social design research projects conducted in Hungary, which point towards evidence that empowerment by design can be beneficial for underprivileged women. This notion of empowerment is defined through developing embodied expertise, problem-solving skills, and agency in a design context. In order to understand how design can contribute to building such notions in participants, the author contextualizes the community’s …
Pluriversal Design In One Situated Place: An Approach Rooted In The Interface Between The Local And The Global, Iris Y. Luo, Renata M. Leitao
Pluriversal Design In One Situated Place: An Approach Rooted In The Interface Between The Local And The Global, Iris Y. Luo, Renata M. Leitao
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This essay posits that a Place-Based approach is the prerequisite for fostering fruitful and mutually-respectful form of social design in the emerging paradigm of pluriversality – contextualized within the contemporary global order. The concept of "Place" serves as the nexus between the Local and the Global: it's where intermediaries reside, translation unfolds, and power dynamics intensify. By examining four historical phases from the pre-colonial period through post-modernity, this work looks into the evolution of the concept of Place and its role in the construction of power. This discussion encourages designers to ground themselves in the local, embedded within communities, while …
Training Designers In The Pluriverse: The Experience Of Studio Wudé With Leather Crafts In Senegal, Caroline Grellier, Cécile Ndiaye
Training Designers In The Pluriverse: The Experience Of Studio Wudé With Leather Crafts In Senegal, Caroline Grellier, Cécile Ndiaye
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This article reflects on design and the training of designers from a West African perspective, based on the experience of Studio Wudé, a workshop which has been working in Senegal since 2006 to transmit endogenous knowledge about leather transformation. Through an analysis of the Studio's pedagogical design approach, the aim is to question in West African contexts the relevance of the historical dissociation between thinking and doing, at the genesis of a Western industrial capitalist design culture whose spread in West Africa has accelerated over the past five years via the emergence of higher design education based on a Western …
Conversations, Intra-Views And Diffractions As Tools For Analysis: Design Research When Conducted By A Team, Bilge Merve Aktaş, Hazal Gümüş-Çiftçi
Conversations, Intra-Views And Diffractions As Tools For Analysis: Design Research When Conducted By A Team, Bilge Merve Aktaş, Hazal Gümüş-Çiftçi
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Design researchers develop methods that blend design expertise and theoretical knowledge. Hence, design research emphasizes the importance of explicating intuitive knowledge and hands-on experience. Collective research that relies on more than one designer’s endeavors has also been expanding. In this paper, we discuss how to make sense of data when collected by two design researchers in separate spaces, under different conditions. Our project centered on the materiality of repair and involved data collection in two contexts. One researcher facilitated repair workshops, engaging in repairs and consulting with participants, while the other conducted individual repair work. Through biweekly meetings and conversations, …
Transformative Sketching: Unveiling Character Identity In Two Dimensions, Sanya Jain, Prasad Bokil
Transformative Sketching: Unveiling Character Identity In Two Dimensions, Sanya Jain, Prasad Bokil
DRS Biennial Conference Series
We understand this world through our sense perceptions and past associations. The main objective of the study was to sketch the face of a character with a specific identity, so that it aligns with its intended description, thus ensuring it is perceived as intended. The use of shapes and features of animals have helped to derive characters that represent an archetype. The digital representations of these characters find their place along two distinct axes: (i) transitioning from elaborate to minimal and (ii) shifting between animalistic and human features. The methodology harmoniously merges diverse character appearances, eliminating fragmentation. We place significant …
Repositioning Design As The New Attractor In Sustainability, Clee Zhuo Wang, Yiying Wu, Laurent Gutierrez
Repositioning Design As The New Attractor In Sustainability, Clee Zhuo Wang, Yiying Wu, Laurent Gutierrez
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Design’s increasing participation in sustainability raises questions on what sustainability it serves and how. Contextualized in a cartography of sustainability discourse and its four typologies, we establish that design’s efforts on sustainability to date are largely affiliated to the mainstream socio-technological pathway, a continuation of the modernization project deepening the crises. This affiliation, while granting design access to the increasingly active field of sustainability, risks reducing its versatile epistemology to amusing representation. Drawing from Human-Nature Relationships (HNR) research, we propose the utilization of the "sustainability space" as an analytical tool. The processual, embodied, and affective qualities inherent in design are …

Frame Journey: A Complementary Approach At Understanding Well-Being In Factory Environments For Labor Workers, Mathis Andreas Buchbinder, Victor Bittencourt, Remko Van Der Lugt, Daan Oldenhof, Niek Zuidhof, Sebastian Thiede, Daniel Saakes
DRS Biennial Conference Series
With a diversifying workforce well-being is an increasingly important topic to be addressed in manufacturing. Whereas mental well-being has been well studied in the HCI community for knowledge workers, well-being for factory workers has been mainly assessed in terms of ergonomics and task optimization. Concerns are about safety and accident prevention, but not about the tacit experience of the workers themselves. In this paper, we analyze an assembly line from two viewpoints: the HCI/Design, and the industrial engineering. We show the differences and commonalities in methods and identify both sides limitations. We present four themes of well-being which emerge from …
Drifting By Friction: Playing With Ontologies Of Design, Mathias Poulsen
Drifting By Friction: Playing With Ontologies Of Design, Mathias Poulsen
DRS Biennial Conference Series
In this paper, I will trace the ‘drift’ that has happened in my PhD project, ‘De-signing for Playful Democratic Frictions’. I argue that it has been driven primarily by the friction that emerged between the diverse components in my ‘research-assemblage’. The aim is not to resolve the friction, but rather to enhance and fol-low it as far as I can. I suggest that a playful attitude is helpful for lingering with this friction, and that such a stance can allow us to see things otherwise ob-scured by tales of historical necessity. This notion of drifting by friction may in-spire strategies …
Designing Through Ecological Soundscape To Foster Human-Nature Interaction, Francesca Valsecchi, Herun Chen, Qingyu Zhang
Designing Through Ecological Soundscape To Foster Human-Nature Interaction, Francesca Valsecchi, Herun Chen, Qingyu Zhang
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Sense of hearing provides an effective, immersive and empathetic way to observe, map and explore places with a more-than-human approach. In our contemporary mediascape inundated by visual stimuli, the rediscovery of sound offers a different understanding of the world. By discussing two research-based sound design projects, this study discusses 1) the potential of using soundscape as an empathetic research tool in multispecies ethnography and 2) how soundscape as a communication media could stimulate more-than-human exploration and empathy. Such design outcomes develop an empathic and conscious understanding of human-nature interaction, even in an urban context. Intersecting science, research and creative practices, …
“Feelings About The Other Body:” Caring Through And Forward In Design For Play, Ida Kathrine Hammeleff Jørgensen, Harun Kaygan
“Feelings About The Other Body:” Caring Through And Forward In Design For Play, Ida Kathrine Hammeleff Jørgensen, Harun Kaygan
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper considers designers’ embodied engagements while designing for play from the lens of “care.” We consider such engagements as socio-material rela-tions of care, following recent theorizations of care within care studies. Relying on observations from a variety of activities undertaken by students during a two-week design workshop on embodied play design, we present a theoretical model that identifies two orders of care in design activities: First order, “care through,” indexes the immediate objects that designers attend to in the here-and-now while implementing procedures, practices and tools provided by diverse design methods. Second order, “care forward,” indicates the future beneficiaries …
Designing In Argentina With Indigenous Groups, Catalina Lucía Agudin
Designing In Argentina With Indigenous Groups, Catalina Lucía Agudin
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Indigeneity in Argentina has historically been oppressed. The project presented here is a collaboration between design researchers and students from Buenos Aires and Indigenous groups in Northern Argentina that combines anthropologi-cal and design methods. Participatory experiences are at the core of the pro-posal. Interactions within the communities led to various lines of work. The top-ics varied from textile production, natural coloring, traditional nourishment, and construction to didactic materials for schools within intercultural bilingual edu-cation. The results show not only material outcomes, but also how the project moved its participants. In light of the widely differing worldviews, the learning process became …

DRS Biennial Conference Series
Sustainability Transitions and Futures is a mandatory course of the Creative Sus-tainability master’s program in the Department of Design of Aalto University de-livered jointly by the co-authors. It aims to provide a basic understanding of how sustainability transitions projects unfold in practice and the ways through which designers can contribute to these projects as part of interdisciplinary teams. For two consecutive years, we focused on multispecies sustainability. We have pro-vided the students with the necessary theoretical and critical lenses through a curated selection of guest lectures from fields including law, philosophy, urban ecology and planning. For the practical part, the …
Design Anthropology For Ethics Of Care And Emergence: Reflections From An Energy Transition Project, Gijs Van Leeuwen, Abhigyan Singh
Design Anthropology For Ethics Of Care And Emergence: Reflections From An Energy Transition Project, Gijs Van Leeuwen, Abhigyan Singh
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper describes a design anthropology approach toward design ethics, which understands design ethics in a relational and emergent manner. We characterize how ethical issues and judgments emerge from the continuous stream of social interactions, collaborations, and relations that constitute the design process. The approach recognizes that there is a fundamental uncertainty in how social engagements and associated ethical issues in a design process unfold. Design anthropology aims to remain open to such emergent understandings, and fosters a sense of empathy and practice of care towards collaborators. The approach is illustrated by reflecting on empirical findings from an interdisciplinary energy …

DRS Biennial Conference Series
Designing for future liveable cities demands a spectrum of perspectives, each responding in some way to global and local challenges, from climate change to safe housing. However, enabling spaces for often juxtaposed, contradictory and cooperative voices, both hopeful and cautionary, can be challenging. This paper is a first step in harnessing pluralistic expression through design fiction as an approach to speculating on design’s role in future liveable cities. In presenting individual speculative positions, authors attempt to reconcile their personal experiences, disciplinary expertise, and vision. This collective voice represents disciplinary diversity including – but not limited to – artificial intelligence, co-design, …

Paradigm Shifts In Research Assessment For Scientific Publishing: Emerging Models In A Pluriverse Perspectivs, Lorela Mehmeti, Elena Maria Formia, Eleonora Lupo
DRS Biennial Conference Series
In the realm of design, research publication undergoes a transformative shift in evaluation and emerging forms that prompt investigation into the distortive impact of the current assessment framework on publication diversity. The complexity of assessing research quality within institutional frameworks and career metrics hinders innovation, and globally, debates on impact factors drive a shift to qualitative, responsible evaluation. The article explores how collaborative methodologies enable new assessment practices for design communities in the Global South, challenging Western-centric peer-review norms to adopt a more pluriversal perspective. It includes an introduction problematising the status of publication assessment in the general scientific domain. …
