Developing A Campus Copyright Education Program: Conquering The Challenge, Susie Quartey Nov 2006

Developing A Campus Copyright Education Program: Conquering The Challenge, Susie Quartey

Faculty Publications

Developing a copyright educational program at a University can be a daunting task. Many professors do not want to hear the word in connection with their teaching or academic pursuits. It can strike fear in the hearts of many educators who have hidden behind the mask of ignorance for years. With the complex nature of copyright law and budget restrictions, few institutions have the luxury of on-site copyright experts. A well-planned, conscientiously formulated copyright education campaign can ease the anxieties of the ignorant; empower the helpless; and fuel the passion of those striving to enlighten others about copyright compliance at …

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, …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Behavioral Characteristics While Searching Information Thanks To Tangible Media - Kansei Evaluation And Behavioral Analysis On E-Paper, Paper And Touch-Panel, N.G Kang, T Sonda, T.M Yamanaka Nov 2006

Behavioral Characteristics While Searching Information Thanks To Tangible Media - Kansei Evaluation And Behavioral Analysis On E-Paper, Paper And Touch-Panel, N.G Kang, T Sonda, T.M Yamanaka

DRS Biennial Conference Series

While searching information, subconscious mental activity affects our behavior. To understand this subconscious function, we propose to analyze the behavior comparing with subjective evaluation. For this research, we used three different tangible media: E-Paper, paper (printer) and touch-panel. We quantified the subjects’ behavior from the record of searching information. Then subject’s characteristics were summarized from observation of their behavior, and the results of their evaluation were structured by the repertory grid method and laddering. The results were as follow: 1) From the difference in behavior to use the media, the personal ability to handle the information relates to the tendency …

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 …

Contemporary Design In China: The Road To Modernity And Commercialization, W. S. Wong Nov 2006

Contemporary Design In China: The Road To Modernity And Commercialization, W. S. Wong

DRS Biennial Conference Series

“China's rising! The sleeping dragon is waking up!” It is common to see these kinds of headlines in the Western media about the recent development of People’s Republic of China. In the foreseeable future, China is expected to become one of the world’s biggest economic players. There is growing interest in the West about China’s economic boom. The government, private sector and individuals have been revisiting “design” (or Sheji in Chinese), and beginning to recognize its importance from product positioning to marketing promotion, rather than an evil ideology for Communism. This paper addresses the development of modern design and design …

A Preliminary Study Of Learnable Pictogram Languages, Ting-Ju Lin, Michael A R Biggs Nov 2006

A Preliminary Study Of Learnable Pictogram Languages, Ting-Ju Lin, Michael A R Biggs

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Pictogram languages that are based on a non-phonetic idea were the earliest symbols such as Cuneiform and Chinese in oracle-bone (Rogers, 20005). In the other words, pictogram languages have existed ever since the Egyptian hieroglyphs around 3000BC and Chinese Oracle-bone scripts from about 1400 to 1200 BC (Robinson, 1995). The two writing systems are composed of pictograms, and most parts of them are also based on non-phonetics. Users of hieroglyphs and Chinese Oracle-bone scripts had to learn the symbols which resembled the meanings and natural object they represented. This article suggests that non-phonetic pictogram languages are learnable with examples, like: …

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 …

Graphic Design And Motion Graphics, C Vincent, A Cole, Z Schincariol Nov 2006

Graphic Design And Motion Graphics, C Vincent, A Cole, Z Schincariol

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper presents an interdisciplinary experiment in Communication Design teaching. It focuses on two moments in the project’s development: print media design and its translation into audiovisual language. We begin experimenting with the expressive possibilities of typography, which add meanings to the transposition of verbal content. Interpretation and sharp perception of typography, in the technical and aesthetics aspects, interfere when generating visual composition. The expressive possibilities increase when motion and sound, which are distinctive aspects of audiovisual language, come into play. We are interested in the creative process that involves translating graphic language into audiovisual language.

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 …

Research Through Design Through Research - A Problem Statement And A Conceptual Sketch, Jonas Wolfgang Nov 2006

Research Through Design Through Research - A Problem Statement And A Conceptual Sketch, Jonas Wolfgang

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper re-addresses the issue of a lacking genuine design research paradigm. It tries to sketch an operational model of such a paradigm, based upon a generic design process model, which is derived from basic notions of evolution and learning in different domains of knowing (and turns out to be not very different from existing ones). It does not abandon the scientific paradigm but concludes that the latter has to be embedded into / subordinated under a design paradigm.

Are We Designing Female Audiences? The Case Of Beme.Com A Women’S Commercial Online Portal, N M Sadowska Nov 2006

Are We Designing Female Audiences? The Case Of Beme.Com A Women’S Commercial Online Portal, N M Sadowska

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Feminist critique of design practice has drawn attention to continuing problems women have as design practitioners and design consumers. A case study analysis of BEME.com, a commercial online portal design for female Internet users, offers an opportunity to address some of the issues such a critique raises. Notwithstanding that Internet technology and design offer new means of communicating with women, a feminist critique highlights that particularly within a commercial context there is an unwillingness within design practice to problematise its participation in the processes that embody gendered meanings. Instead, gender frequently features as part of design practitioners’ creative toolkit when …
