Sustainable Design Strategy Of Chinese Old Town Community Based On Landscape Ontology：A Case Study Of Daojiao Community In Chongqing, Xingyu Chen, Hongtao Zhou, Xiang Liu
IASDR Conference Series
In the process of China's urbanization process, there is a serious separation between new city and old city, The current situation of the old community space urgently needs to be improved,with the increasingly complex development pattern, the community design research is more inclined to favor the abstract category dominated by relationship design, resulting in the disconnection between design and physical space.This study can be an ideal repair technique. By sorting out the evolution law of the community landscape ontology, a set of sustainable development ideas in line with the landscape environment of the old city community.This paper intends to apply …
Domestic Infrastructure Of Food: Thoughts On Community Engagement Through Food, Furniture, And Architectural Exhibition, Leyuan Li
IASDR Conference Series
Over the past decades, the attention towards fresh food ingredients has promoted the emergence of growing vegetables in domestic spaces and sharing homemade ingredients with neighbors. The introduction of producing and exchanging food in domestic territories not only creates new forms of recreation, but also foregrounds inhabitants' anxieties concerning food security and community engagement, especially amidst global unrest during the pandemic. Within this imperative context, the pictorial essay intends to introduce food as a collective medium and a social act. By showing a series of representations and photographs of an installation project, the essay speculates on the performative and spatial …

Method Of Mapping Interdisciplinary Research And Practice At The Intersection Of Biology And Design, Veronika Kapsali
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Ubiquitous, multi-meaning terms used to describe new ideas, finding etc, presents a significant barrier for cross-disciplinary discourse especially between the arts and sciences. The research presented in this paper tackles the problem of terminological disharmony specifically within the process of contextualising creative design practice informed by biological science and/or its applications. The study is implemented in three stages; lexical semantic theories and methods are applied to corpus-based investigations to assess the scope of biologically informed disciplines (BID) terminology; results are analysed using statistical and qualitative methods and mapped against known academic domains; the resulting map is evaluated via the analysis …

Incubating Civic Leadership In Design: The Role Of Cross-Pollination Spaces, Katerina Alexiou, Theodore Zamenopoulos, Vera Hale, Sophia De Sousa
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The paper explores the hypothesis that access to places that enhance capabilities for co-design work across sectors, is an important vehicle for incubating and sup-porting civic leadership. More specifically, the paper reports insights from a study which created ‘cross-pollination’ spaces to bring together academic and non-academic individuals from different backgrounds, disciplines, and sectors to explore the notion of incubating civic leadership and to develop pop-up interventions to test ideas for incubating civic leadership in two locations in the UK. Drawing on the reflections of participants collected through group reflection spaces and through individual interviews, the study identifies a number of …

Teixint Superilles: A Grassroots Project Of Participatory Design For Inclusive Public Spaces, Clément Rames, Mireia Lozano Carbassé, Lea Karrasch, Roger Guilemany Casas
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper presents the Teixint Superilles project which developed participatory design activities to create more inclusive public space. Our hypothesis was that when citizens have the opportunity to participate in placemaking activities, they gain not only greater awareness of their environment, but also a sense of agency over their city. Through a series of workshops, we have been experimenting with diverse methodologies for civic participation while confronting a wide range of participants with topics of gender, functional diversity, cross-generational inclusivity, and sustainability. We facilitated workshops in three different environments, thus reaching a wide range of participants: a public park, a …

Collective Dialogues On Motherhood For Feminist Futures, Bree Mcmahon, Dina Benbrahim, Ryan Gibboney, Ashley Hairston Doughty
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This conversation allowed mothers and non-mothers to connect with per- sonal stories and universal struggles during a supportive virtual moment. Some con- venors are design researchers, practitioners, students, and/or educators. This conver- sation also served as a space for designers to reflect on the role and responsibility of design in interrogating reproductive care systems in their current context. The goal of the convenors is to move toward and promote co-designing a preferable feminist fu- ture for mothers. There are few spaces like maternal health care and the experience of motherhood that would benefit simply through qualitative data collection, storytell- ing, …

Remaking The Social: Dialogical, Creative, And Co-Operative Capacities Of Thought At Hull House, Matthew Delsesto
DRS Biennial Conference Series
While social research is often positioned as a way to reflect social realities or de-velop theories for specialized fields through analyzing empirical evidence, based on data that is extracted from communities, Jane Addams points to a different mode of inquiry. This chapter introduces the theories and practices of the Hull House as an iterative and experimental process of inquiry— creating new knowledge in and through action, in a process of facing down pressing social chal-lenges. In particular it uses examples from the Hull House— which involved the design of the working people’s social science club, exhibitions on the industrial condition, …
Developing A Design-Based Understanding Of Learning In Transitions: A Multiple Case Study, Elif Erdoğan Öztekin, İdil Gaziulusoy
Developing A Design-Based Understanding Of Learning In Transitions: A Multiple Case Study, Elif Erdoğan Öztekin, İdil Gaziulusoy
Nordes Conference Series
In sustainability transitions, experimentation and learning are addressed as key processes that facilitate implementation, diffusion and scaling of transition mindsets and actions. In this paper, we argue that design acts as a means for this actionbased transition learning. Contributing to design for sustainability transitions literature, this paper proposes a design perspective on learning in transitions which enables analysing the multifaceted ways, depths and scales of learning that design mediates. Through a multiple case study on sustainable community settlement initiatives, we examine and discuss the roles of design in facilitating interactive learning, and thus in orienting and accelerating sustainability transitions.

Scaling Experiments In Urban Space – An Exploratory Framework, Eva Knutz, Kathrina Dankl
Nordes Conference Series
In this article, we outline an exploratory framework that attempts to capture different types of scaling practices in urban space. "Scaling" in this context is understood as a concept that involves a temporary intervention in public space that negotiates agency among human and nonhuman actors. The aim of this framework is to assist curators and researchers in conceptualizing site-specific interventions or exhibitions in urban contexts.

Multispecies Cohabitation And Future Design, Stanislav Roudavski
Multispecies Cohabitation And Future Design, Stanislav Roudavski
DRS Biennial Conference Series
How should humans live with animals and other forms of life? Could responses to this question improve the health and wellbeing of the biosphere? This paper argues that design researchers ought to engage nonhuman lifeforms as collaborators: informants and co-designers, or clients and users. Inspired by recent design challenges involving birds, bats and trees, this paper positions emancipatory multispecies cohabitation as a goal that can alleviate ongoing biodiversity losses and human-wildlife conflicts, in cities and beyond. It opens an interdisciplinary conversation by translating emerging scholarship in ethics, politics, and aesthetics to a narrative about desirable more-than-human cultures. This discussion has …

Design As A Catalyst For Sustainability Transitions, Ayşe İdil Gaziulusoy, Elif Erdoğan Öztekin
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Transitions towards sustainability need for radical and structural changes in the social, cultural and organisational dimensions in addition to technological innovations and infrastructural changes. Sustainability transitions have been a research and practice agenda for several decades. Currently, a new area in design for sustainability field is emerging that bridges the theories and practices of sustainability transitions with theory, education and practice of design. In this paper, we investigate the emergence and evolution of this new area through a literature review of selected publications that represent the current approaches of integrating the theories of sustainability transitions and design. We provide an …
Transition Design: Teaching And Learning, Stacie Rohrbach, Molly Steenson
Transition Design: Teaching And Learning, Stacie Rohrbach, Molly Steenson
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Central to the development of transition design is its foundation in higher education. The theoretical basis that informs the practice of transition design develops from an emergent process comprised of hypotheses, theory, and testing in educational settings. These approaches—which focus on tackling specific, complex, placed-based challenges—must be tailored to address the nature of specific contexts and the varied learning of student cohorts and their respective needs. This paper investigates the value and thoughtful integration of transition design practices into design education and proposes curricula for undergraduate design students. It outlines methods and tools that are utilized in our teaching, describes …
Design Justice: Towards An Intersectional Feminist Framework For Design Theory And Practice, Sasha Costanza-Chock
Design Justice: Towards An Intersectional Feminist Framework For Design Theory And Practice, Sasha Costanza-Chock
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Design is key to our collective liberation, but most design processes today reproduce inequalities structured by what Black feminist scholars call the matrix of domination. Intersecting inequalities are manifest at all levels of the design process. This paper builds upon the Design Justice Principles, developed by an emerging network of designers and community organizers, to propose a working definition of design justice: Design justice is a field of theory and practice that is concerned with how the design of objects and systems influences the distribution of risks, harms, and benefits among various groups of people. Design justice focuses on the …

Redesigning Governance – A Call For Design Across Three Orders Of Governanc, Tanja Rosenqvist, Cynthia Mitchell
Redesigning Governance – A Call For Design Across Three Orders Of Governanc, Tanja Rosenqvist, Cynthia Mitchell
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Designers are increasingly engaged in solving large-scale societal issues and the interest in the potentially activist role of design is growing. These new roles call for judicious approaches to designing and, importantly, for designers to be critically aware of how their work influences, not only our physical, but also our social worlds. This paper explores how designers can take part in rethinking governance structures by facilitating a process of questioning and re-imagining how, for example, public services are governed and importantly - by whom. This involves articulating people’s day-to-day experiences of governance and making explicit the institutional arrangements and the …

The Future Of Design Education, Sapna Singh, Liz Sanders, Terry Irwin, Pieter Jan Stappers, Nicole Lotz, Erik Bohemia
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Design as a discipline has evolved and is expanding its impact from individual physical objects and spaces to experiences and organizations. An emerging question is 'how will the increasing influence of design impact the future of design education and create value for its stakeholders as well as for the discipline of design?' Probably a more critical question is 'how can or should design education prepare future designers for this expanding sphere of design influence?'Design education is at the crossroads and faces an uncertain future. some say “If design is to live up to its promise it must create new, enduring …
Commons & Community Economies: Entry Points To Design For Eco-Social Justice?, Fabio Franz, Bianca Elzenbaumer
Commons & Community Economies: Entry Points To Design For Eco-Social Justice?, Fabio Franz, Bianca Elzenbaumer
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Many designers today (including ourselves) are experimenting with how their practice can engage in meaningful ways with the complexity of pressing social and environmental issues. Being very much concerned with the politics and power relations that run through such issues, in this paper we will explore what points of orientation the framework of the ‘commons’ and that of ‘community economies’ – seen from an autonomist and feminist Marxist perspective – can offer when working on socially and politically engaged projects. We mobilise these two frameworks as possible entry points through which eco-socially just modes of reproducing livelihoods can be fostered. …

Activating The Core Economy By Design, Rebeca Torres Castanedo, Paul Micklethwaite
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The traditional provision of public services needs to be transformed, and this transformation includes ceasing to consider users as passive recipients of services. Instead, the process of service development should be opened up to more participatory methods, whereby users and providers, working together, transform the way in which the welfare state is conceived and services designed and delivered. In achieving conditions of wellbeing, societies face very complex problems, particularly such groups as the elderly, who depend most heavily on the social care services. The paper describes the research developed, as part of the major project of MA Sustainable Design in …

How Participation Is Practiced? – Extension Of Participatory Design Model, Mika Yasuoka-Jensen, Takahito Kamihira
ServDes Conference Series
Last few years, we have witnessed of an increased value of stakeholder participation on service design. In spite of the attention to the participation on design, we have only a limited common ground what participation means. Participants, definition, process, purpose and expectation of participation are varied from practice to practice, and consequently suggested best methods were different. However we call them all as participation and not explicitly articulated its meanings in a relative scale. Seeing varied participation metamorphoses as an indispensable contribution for a further advancement of service design community, this paper introduces one way of identifying participation with a …

Discourse, Speculation And Multidisciplinarity: Designing Urban Futures, Ingi Helgason, Michael Smyth, Søren Rosenbak, Ivica Mitrović
Nordes Conference Series
This paper presents a design case study of a summer school that brought together a multidisciplinary group of early-career professionals to explore ideas relating to new technologies in an urban context. The organisers of the summer school took an explicitly designinformed approach to the event, specifically a ‘critical design’ approach. The aspiration of the organisers was that the school activities would lead to the creation of an exhibition of artefacts and visual media expressing the ideas explored during the school. The expectation of generating exhibition quality outputs influenced the participants’ experience of the event, and this paper describes the process …

Native Products: Nordes 2015 Edition, Costas Bissas, Vasso Asfi, Loukas Angelou
Nordes Conference Series
Native Products is an initiative that could act as a stepping point towards the exploration of alternative mediums and processes of the production cycle. Papairlines have developed a workshop sequence through which flora is transformed into a paste that can be later used as a raw material to cast objects. The process uses household tools and herbs. During this workshop participants will be part of the different stages of processing the raw materials and create small utilitarian objects, while contributing to a debate on how production takes place today and what alternatives can be developed in the current socioeconomic status.

Sustainable Strategies Through Design In Communities Of Practice, Luiza Rossetto, Celso Scaletsky
DRS Biennial Conference Series
A “Community of Practice” is defined as a spontaneously formed group that has common goals and discusses how to solve them. This paper presents an exploratory research on how to assist these groups through a design method. In this research, we applied a design-synthesized method named KIT DESIGN (ROSSETTO, 2013) to a group of cyclists in Porto Alegre, Southern Brazil. This group was chosen because it is part of a worldwide movement that has been dealing with contemporary mobility culture problems in cities where mobility needs to be rethought in terms of more sustainable practices. During the research some valid …

Another Future For Designers In America, Kate Catterall
Another Future For Designers In America, Kate Catterall
Learn X Design Conference Series
The rationale behind mass-industrialization, now normalized, is embodied uncritically in the practice of many new designers. What if the industrial past could be explored and experienced as a foreign territory, providing a vantage point from which to critically evaluate contemporary design practices and define new paths? Young American designers are searching for alternate roles, and ways to design and live. Many experiment with models from elsewhere, places where new futures are growing from useful pre-industrial remnants. America, a country synonymous with industrialization, has no such resources upon which to build new practices, and slowing while creating value through quality is …
