China, Russia And The Balance Of Power In Central Asia, Eugene B. Rumer Nov 2006

China, Russia And The Balance Of Power In Central Asia, Eugene B. Rumer

Strategic Forums

Since the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) called upon the United States to commit to withdraw its military personnel from Central Asia at its July 2005 summit, the SCO has acquired the reputation as a significant obstacle to U.S. policy. However, this reputation obscures the real state of affairs. Notwithstanding press reports about the challenge posed by the SCO to U.S. policy in Central Asia, a close look at the organization, the behavior of its members, their motivations, and the practical impact of their declarations suggests that the SCO’s challenge to U.S. interests and policies in Central Asia is less than …

Exemplary Design Research, T Binder, J Redström

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Center for Design Research, Royal Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, Copenhagen, Denmark Many design programmes are currently under-going radical transformations as they move towards university status. Research and research-based education becomes part of the everyday of the design school. Also in design studios and design consultancies, design research is frequently heard of as a new venue of activity. But what is design research and how does it relate to design and to the more proven knowledge production of the sciences and humanities? In this paper we will suggest some answers to these questions. In particular, we will look …


Cerebral Venous System Anatomy, Muhammad Azeem Uddin, Tanveer Ul Haq, Muhammad Zafar Rafique Nov 2006

Cerebral Venous System Anatomy, Muhammad Azeem Uddin, Tanveer Ul Haq, Muhammad Zafar Rafique

Department of Radiology

Cerebral venous system can be divided into a superficial and a deep system. The. superficial system comprises of sagittal sinuses and cortical veins and these drain superficial surfaces of both cerebral hemispheres. The deep system comprises of lateral sinus, straight sinus and sigmoid sinus along with draining deeper cortical veins. Both these systems mostly drain themselves into internal jugular veins. The veins draining the brain do not follow the same course as the arteries that supply it. Generally, venous blood drains to the nearest venous sinus, except in the case of that draining from the deepest structures, which drain to …

Multiple Kansei Images In Product Form Design, Chun-Juei Chou, Kuohsiang Chen Nov 2006

Multiple Kansei Images In Product Form Design, Chun-Juei Chou, Kuohsiang Chen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper introduces the overall aspects in multiple Kansei images. Multiple Kansei images are assumed to be what people actually feel and tell in the real world. Several issues that designers need to concern themselves with when dealing with multiple Kansei in product form design are clarified. For better analyzing and understanding multiple Kansei images, Factor Analysis is applied to map an image space. This space explains the mutual relationships such as similarity, exclusiveness and independence among Kansei adjectives. Thus, appropriate Kansei adjectives that can fully portray a product form are figured out. In addition, this paper finds that existing …


Reading Science Fiction Novels As An Architectural Research Method: The Case Study Of J. G. Ballard’S High Rise, Zeynep Tuna Ultav Nov 2006

Reading Science Fiction Novels As An Architectural Research Method: The Case Study Of J. G. Ballard’S High Rise, Zeynep Tuna Ultav

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The aim of this paper is to suggest a new approach in producing architectural knowledge through the realm of discourse by systematizing the social and spatial clues within science fiction literature. In this sense, the departure point is the notion of interdisciplinarity, which expresses the relationship of modern research methods with several other disciplines. Considering the potential of interdisciplinary aspect of architecture, the scope of this paper is several parallel aspects between architectural discourse and the spatiality of literature proposed through the case study of J. G. Ballard’s novel High Rise. In this sense, an architectural research on the phenomenon …

Design Participation Tactics: Redefining User Participation In Design, Yanki Lee Nov 2006

Design Participation Tactics: Redefining User Participation In Design, Yanki Lee

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper started as a critical assessment of different practices of Design Participation, as first defined in the 1971 Design Participation Conference in Manchester (UK) organised by the Design Research Society (DRS). A rethought definition and typology of Design Participation was developed based on relations between the two ‘worlds’ of experts/designers and users/people. The realm of collaboration between the abstract space of designers and the concrete space of users is introduced. Different Design Participation practices were assessed for their appropriateness and effectiveness within past and current contexts, and in different stages and tasks within the design process. Community, Public and …


The Reorganization Of Graphic Design History, W. H. Chou Nov 2006

The Reorganization Of Graphic Design History, W. H. Chou

DRS Biennial Conference Series

To resolve the marginalisation of East Asian design in graphic design history, this research argues for design history’s reconception from the perspective of deeper historical and globological structures than the recent prominence of Euro-American design. That Western society has integrated its current global power with processes of cultural imperialism is evident from the writing of graphic design history. The metadiscourses of Euro-American modernism and postmodernism constitute the roots of privileged and prejudicial knowledge in the history of graphic design, establishing Western developments as the yardstick for the production and ordering of graphic design history. Substantive frameworks for shaping design history …

What Are The Visual Communication Requirements Of A Built Environment?, Robert Harland

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper aims to explore the role that visual communication plays in the urban environment, and the potential for further discussion as a single domain. The scope of enquiry covers aspects of Geography, Urban Design and Graphic Design, exploring briefly the broad contexts for the subject, and the relationship between the emerging disciplines that are playing an increasing and highly visible role in how we use public spaces. It concludes that Graphic Design is playing a significant role in determining the success or failure of the multitude of behaviour settings in the built environment, and a closer relationship with Urban …

Necessary, Unnecessary And Sufficient Conditions, M.A.R. Biggs Nov 2006

Necessary, Unnecessary And Sufficient Conditions, M.A.R. Biggs

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper claims that whether a work is classified as research is a matter of judgement. This judgement is made by the audience and is evidenced by a change in their practice and by the attribution of that change to the researcher’s work through referencing and the acknowledgement of intellectual property. The contribution made by this paper is to identify that there are three necessary and sufficient conditions for such a judgement. These are that it be appropriately disseminated, contextualised, and have consequential originality. To achieve these conditions it is desirable, but neither necessary nor sufficient for the researcher to …


Design Leads Us Where Exactly? Leading By Design At Rich Mix, A New Cultural Venture In London, Lucy Kimbell Nov 2006

Design Leads Us Where Exactly? Leading By Design At Rich Mix, A New Cultural Venture In London, Lucy Kimbell

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The aim of this paper is to contribute to knowledge about design by reflecting on an action research project where the author tested ideas explored in recent literature, including those concerning design leadership (the opportunity and necessity for designers to shape conversations about strategy; the ability of designers to frame unframed problems in challenging contexts); design thinking (the idea that design problems are indeterminate and that there are ‘designerly’ ways of knowing, thinking and acting); and that design-led approaches can help produce engaging information and communication technologies. These ideas were used to respond to an opportunity in which design played …


Representations Of Finnish Design Policy Discourses Of Design Policy In Economical Press, T. Ryynänen Nov 2006

Representations Of Finnish Design Policy Discourses Of Design Policy In Economical Press, T. Ryynänen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper is based on research that explores the intersecting streams of aural and visual perception in multi-principle artworks. Using computer generated systems of sound visualization this research will result in a new architectural design environment. In future research this will be applied to develop a use for the now abandoned space of the Kimpo airport terminal, Korea, that will mitigate negative community response to airport noise. Part One will review how one of the most significant streams in contemporary art explores the nature of found sound in everyday contexts. The scientists, digital artists, sound artists and architects who I …


Revisiting Philosophy And Education In Landscape Architecture, M. Eaton Nov 2006

Revisiting Philosophy And Education In Landscape Architecture, M. Eaton

DRS Biennial Conference Series

There is a crisis in landscape architecture. Where, as a design discipline, the profession is meant to act as a mediator between culture and nature, an absence of continuous critical enquiry, both at a professional level and at an academic level, weakens it. Almost a decade has passed since I examined the role of philosophy and design in landscape architecture education, and from what I have witnessed as an educator, there is still a deficiency of rigour of inquiry. As such, one must ask: where is the leadership in landscape architecture, and are we remaining true to ourselves as designers, …


Senac Symposium On Materials: An Experience To Give Guidelines For A “Cartography Of Materials”, Denise Dantas Nov 2006

Senac Symposium On Materials: An Experience To Give Guidelines For A “Cartography Of Materials”, Denise Dantas

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This article presents the experience of realizing a discussion forum on Design and its relation with materials as a methodological strategy to structure a “Cartography of Materials”. The event had a different configuration from the way it is normally set up in Brazil, for it promoted an articulation among academic researchers, companies that produce materials and products as well as designers working in the market. The aim was to increase the potentialities of working in the three areas involved: teaching/learning, autonomous professional working and serial industrial production. The proposal’s thematic core consisted of a reflection on the possibilities of the …


Designing Engineering Education; Development Of Design Education Model For Engineers, Jihoon Kim, Myung-Suk Kim Nov 2006

Designing Engineering Education; Development Of Design Education Model For Engineers, Jihoon Kim, Myung-Suk Kim

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This research focuses on development of model used in teaching ‘Design Thinking’ to students majoring in engineering with emphasis on creative ideation and expression, and its application examples. Following the Second World War, educational circles in the area of engineering, due to excessive influence of Engineering Science, have come to concentrate relatively more on analysis of phenomenon and theoretical research rather than traditional format of engineering education, which places importance on visual thinking and actual experience, in development of curriculum. This research presents the process of development of new educational model in order to introduce core educational program of design …


Human Augmentation: Transference Of Design Approaches From Designing For Sports To Designing For Disability, J L Allen Nov 2006

Human Augmentation: Transference Of Design Approaches From Designing For Sports To Designing For Disability, J L Allen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper begins by considering the dichotomy between the design of sporting goods and the design of disability products, with an intent to identify some ways in which disability products can become more socially acceptable and even desirable. The role of material artefacts in the creation and propagation of individual- and social-identity is discussed in an attempt to highlight the importance that design can have in ameliorating self-image and public-image of people with disabilities. The paper goes on to discuss a design project carried out in two parts in an Undergraduate Industrial Design studio class to explore the notion of …

Bthere Or Be Square: A Method For Extreme Contextualization Of Design, E Eriksson, M Ludvigsen, A Lykke-Olesen, R Nielsen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In this paper we describe the Bthere method aiming to increase the context awareness among designers. The method and a workshop scenario will be presented, as well as the results and evaluation from that. Based on the methodology from contextual and participatory design, the paper describes a method for dividing the context in different layers, observed from different perspectives. This reveals hidden structures in the inhabitant’s everyday life and the environment among them, using a full scale context and user study as background material for brainstorming and design choices. The aim of the workshop was to accomplish an expanded notion …


Designing Culture In Between Of Authenticity And Imagination, Bianca Beuttel Nov 2006

Designing Culture In Between Of Authenticity And Imagination, Bianca Beuttel

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Based on the patterns “exotic”, “salvation” and “horror”, coined by the German media-theoretician W. Faulstich to describe the perception of foreign cultures in media, this research aims to discuss how the own culture and the foreign cultures are regarded. This includes the mechanism of exotification and selfexotification, the role of authenticity and imagination, and the perspectives provided by concept of “transculturality” which has been introduced by the German philosopher W. Welsch. Illustrated by Japanese examples of every-day-life consumer goods, their packaging and advertisement, it will be shown that these questions also seriously concern the field of product design - in …
