A Very Strange Thing: Commodity Discourse In Cultural Theory And Design, P. Boradkar Sep 2002

A Very Strange Thing: Commodity Discourse In Cultural Theory And Design, P. Boradkar

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper attempts to bring to design dialogue an expanded meaning of the term “commodity” by revealing its presence and discussion in other disciplines via the writings of some of the predominant thinkers through history. Particularly germane to design are the notions of commodity fetishism and commodity aesthetics eloquently outlined in treatises by Karl Marx and Wolfgang Haug. Experiments in generating innovative forms largely perceived as imperative creative exercises in design are, according to Marxist thought, merely attempts to valorize capital. The redesign of product forms is labeled by Marxists as ‘aesthetic aging,’ and referred to as an activity with …


Understanding The User-Experience: Tools For User-Centred Design Of Interactive Media, J. Knight, M. Jefsioutine Sep 2002

Understanding The User-Experience: Tools For User-Centred Design Of Interactive Media, J. Knight, M. Jefsioutine

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Designing a usable web site structure requires understanding users’ concepts of the content. There are many approaches to usability that advocate human factors research methods and lengthy engineering style approaches to design. Such methods however, can be time consuming and may involve expertise outside the remit of the designer. We describe a user-centred design tool, whereby a proposed information architecture can be tested against users’ understanding via the web. Pilot studies suggest that the web is an effective medium for user-testing and enabled us to conduct tests quickly and efficiently. This supports our view of the efficacy of the tool …

Developing A Method To Support Human Centered Designers In Forming Arguments: Intertwining Practice And Theory, M. Alrutz, B. Singer, T. Wahlig Sep 2002

Developing A Method To Support Human Centered Designers In Forming Arguments: Intertwining Practice And Theory, M. Alrutz, B. Singer, T. Wahlig

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper describes a design research project that was undertaken using a human-centered design approach. We first discuss why we believe our project combines an interesting mix of theory and practice. We then establish the locus of our research around one piece of the human-centered design process. To address a problem we call the “analysis-synthesis gap,” we present the Elito method as a solution. We then describe our process and results of testing a prototype of this new method. We conclude that our approach was one way of coming to rich conclusions about the theory and practice of the Elito …


The Study Of Design And The Ethically Reflexive Student, C. Crouch Sep 2002

The Study Of Design And The Ethically Reflexive Student, C. Crouch

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The core units in the Visual Culture course at the School of Visual Arts, Edith Cowan University, draw heavily upon key concepts in post-colonial theory. Particularly the premises of the social and political inequality of much cultural exchange, and the ultimate impossibility of cross-cultural understanding. These are considered essential for practice in a multi-culture such as Australia’s. Despite this contextualisation, during a final year professional practice tutorial, a group of students dealing with Aboriginal copyright law argued that cultural appropriation was simply a matter of formal stylistic borrowing. They proposed that designing was an unproblematic union of expression and technical …

Distributed Design Teams: Embedded One-On-One Conversations In One-To-Many, A. Larsson, P. Törlind, A. Mabogunje, A. Milne Sep 2002

Distributed Design Teams: Embedded One-On-One Conversations In One-To-Many, A. Larsson, P. Törlind, A. Mabogunje, A. Milne

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Engineering design is fundamentally social, requiring a lot of interaction and communication between the people involved. Additionally, good design often relies upon the ability of a crossfunctional team to create a shared understanding of the task, the process and the respective roles of its members. The negotiation and bargaining for common ground are essential in the design process. It is important to provide tools and methods so that also geographically distributed design teams are given the opportunity to engage in such social interactions. This paper presents a study of interpersonal communication within the Distributed Team Innovation (DTI) framework; a joint …


Designing Conceptual Mapping In Cyberspace, R. Oxman Sep 2002

Designing Conceptual Mapping In Cyberspace, R. Oxman

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The design of virtual place constitutes a special and new class of design. Virtual places are both forms of information as well as information of form. Though we already have actual experience with virtual functions in the form of virtual museums, virtual shops, virtual schools etc., there, as yet, exists no theoretical basis informing the design of virtual place. New experience is beginning to emerge that deals with key issues in the use of, and interaction in, virtual places. Among these issues is designing the sense of presence in what is a virtual world. This new knowledge and understanding is …


The Designer As Strategist: Response From Ma Alumni, N. Gornick Sep 2002

The Designer As Strategist: Response From Ma Alumni, N. Gornick

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The underlying ambition behind the Brunel programme was to generate new kinds of design professional who understood the contextual dimension of design work, and are able to respond to these wider revolutionary changes and contribute hugely to the development of new concepts and products within organisations. They also respond to the demand for closer ties between design and its social and industrial context by taking up roles as integrators and catalysts for innovation and change. Graduates from Brunel have been accepted into manufacturing and service companies as well as design consultancies. They are valued because they have crossed the tribal …


Comparison Between Communication Instruments For People With Speech Impediments And The Efficiency Of Gui Environments, J-S. Jang Sep 2002

Comparison Between Communication Instruments For People With Speech Impediments And The Efficiency Of Gui Environments, J-S. Jang

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Communication is a basic desire for all humankind, and it is believed that no special groups should suffer from a cultural lag in communication. This study focuses on special groups like people with an acoustic disturbance, and those with a normal sense of hearing who are able only to communicate through sign and finger languages. Among the major difficulties encountered during communication, there were individual differences in the understanding of texts and in the expressive method of gestures. To solve these basic problems, this study largely consisted of three stages. Firstly, the illustrations used in the sign and finger language …

Intervention Strategies For Alleviating Problems In International Co-Operative Design Projects, L-C. Lee, A. Woodcock, S.A.R. Scrivener Sep 2002

Intervention Strategies For Alleviating Problems In International Co-Operative Design Projects, L-C. Lee, A. Woodcock, S.A.R. Scrivener

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Small design teams engaged on co-operative work in the international arena typically find themselves beset by problems relating to time schedules, inadequate briefs, information flow and communication, project management, language and cultural issues. Such problems, when arising in projects of short duration, and not having the benefits of dedicated management, may increase project length, decrease the efficiency and satisfaction of project members (and reduce their willingness to participate in such ventures again) and reduce the extent to which the finished design meets the initial requirements. This paper outlines a series of low cost, high impact intervention strategies to assist design …


A ‘Social Model’ Of Design: Issues Of Practice And Research, V. Margolin, S. Margolin Sep 2002

A ‘Social Model’ Of Design: Issues Of Practice And Research, V. Margolin, S. Margolin

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Compared to the “market model,” little theorizing has been done to produce a model of design for social need. This paper discusses a process of social service intervention that can address the product needs of vulnerable populations. This process follows a problem-solving approach whereby a professional or professional team works collaboratively with clients to improve their quality of life. A number of options for how product designers might work with such an intervention team are explored. The authors then outline a program of research. A multi-faceted approach to address questions related to social design would include survey research and interviews, …


Designing Information Appliances: The Evaluation Of A Design Process Framework Based On A Designer-Friendly Prototyping Environment, T-J. Nam Sep 2002

Designing Information Appliances: The Evaluation Of A Design Process Framework Based On A Designer-Friendly Prototyping Environment, T-J. Nam

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper presents a new design process framework for interaction design of computer-embedded products (information appliances) and examines the feasibility of the framework in the design education and practice through case studies. The main feature is the application of a new prototyping environment that employs a widely available presentation tool, MS PowerPoint, for building fully functional engineering quality prototypes of computer embedded digital products without assistance from electronic engineers. The proposed interaction design process framework involves four phases. i) to analyze the user context, ii) to create conceptual models using State Transition Charts, iii) to develop hardware-software hybrid prototypes using …


Verbal Language And Sketching, T. Y. Pan, R. M. Newman, S. Porter, M. Tovey Sep 2002

Verbal Language And Sketching, T. Y. Pan, R. M. Newman, S. Porter, M. Tovey

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper attempts to identify designers’ sketches in different forms for a classification system by use of verbal language. Designers have a creative vocabulary, which has rich meanings in design communication. This study was carried out with the cooperation of 11 academic staff in the domain of industrial design. It was concluded that none of verbal language was found descriptive enough for the purpose of separating sketches into different forms to support a classification system. While this study has not produced a possible means for classification of sketches using verbal language, the methodology employed has proved interesting for future investigative …
