Ontological Depth Of The Designed Object From Instrumental Reason To Reflective Judgement, J. Verwijnen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper states that in order to contribute to epistemology design must clarify its ontological perspective. The act of designing occupies a position fundamentally different from the natural sciences that examine only things or matter and is also beyond the social sciences that deal with people and their relations. In this paper design departs from the relationship of people and things, of subjects and objects. It proposes that within the relationship of subjects to objects, of people to things and thus also of designers to the products they design, there are three different ontological positions. A corresponding epistemological position of …

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 …

Theory Construction In Design Research. Criteria, Approaches, And Methods., K. Friedman

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Design involves creating something new or transforming a less desirable situation to a preferred situation. To do this, designers must know how things work and why. Understanding how things work and why requires explanation, and it sometimes requires prediction. To explain and predict, we must construct and test theories. Theories are propositions or sets of propositions that allow us to analyze or explain subjects. Some theories are complex and sophisticated. Others are simple. Theory can be described in many ways. In its most basic form, a theory is a model. It is an illustration describing how something works by showing …

Common Ground - A Product Or A Process?, W. Jonas

DRS Biennial Conference Series

What does the Common Ground metaphor mean: solid rock, fertile soil, or swampy lowlands? Are we mapping the terrain or are we just constructing it because it would be comfortable to have one? We are in a historical moment, 40 years after the first conference on design methods, initiating the short “design science decade”, when other disciplines realize the fragile, fluid, historical character of their “grounds”. On the lists and in conferences there are fierce debates, yet mainly concerning details of the respective positions. On the other hand ambitious perspectives are proclaimed, without being rooted in the community. Contributions reveal …

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 …

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, …

The Design Of Product/Service Systems From A Designer’S Perspective, N. Morelli

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In the age of globalisation and information technology, corporate strategies are challenged to bring production in line with a complex demand, which requires a substantial shift from production of goods to the provision of knowledge-intensive systemic solutions. Such solutions usually consist product-service systems, i.e. a marketable set of products and services capable of jointly fulfilling a user's need. Given their strategic relevance, such solutions have rightly been widely discussed in management and marketing disciplines. In the Design discipline instead, the methodological implications of the design of PSS have rarely been discussed even though design components play a critical role in …

A Comparative Study Of Iconic Influences Amongst British And Canadian Design Students, P. A. Rodgers, M. Strickfaden

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Design students encounter a wide variety of influences and inspiration during their education. Moreover, the knowledge and skills required and utilised whilst studying design encompasses both explicit and implicit knowledge, and iconic and canonic knowledge types. This paper explores, comparatively, the iconic influences amongst sets of British and Canadian undergraduate design students. Using naturalistic experimentation techniques, the study’s main objective is to investigate whether a student’s design influences, and subsequent artifact creation activities, are affected by their educational context, their economic situation, their gender or age, and their geographical conditions amongst others. With this in mind the study will seek …

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 …

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 …

Urban And Regional Design: A Practical Science, I. T. Klaasen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Widely held notions such as the uniqueness of each design and design situation and of learning the design craft in a studio with ‘apprentice’ and ‘master’ relationships, have hitherto left little room for thinking about urban design as a science. In this paper it is argued that urban and regional design is basically a practical science like medicine, applied psychology and other technical sciences. In a practical science the objective of research is the application of science : research is focused on ‘what is possible’, be it desirable or not (yet) desirable. Practical sciences differ inter alia from empirical ones …

A Comparative Programme For Design Research, M. Stacey, C. Eckert, C. Earl, L. Bucciarelli, P. J. Clarkson

DRS Biennial Conference Series

As ‘designing’ is a diverse phenomenon, but design processes have many important features in common with some other design processes, we can gain insights into how and why designers do what they do by making cross-domain comparisons. In this paper we propose a research programme for design studies: systematising these insights by using comparisons between design processes to compile a catalogue of patterns of designing – sets of features of design processes linked by causal mechanisms, that in combination with each other give a wide range of design processes their distinctive forms. The catalogue of patterns should include patterns describing …
