Audiovisual Rhetoric A Metatheoretical Approach To Design, Gesche Joost, Arne Scheuermann Nov 2006

Audiovisual Rhetoric A Metatheoretical Approach To Design, Gesche Joost, Arne Scheuermann

DRS Biennial Conference Series

"Wherever there is design, there is rhetoric"—in this way Kenneth Burke's quotation from 1950 can be modified in order to describe the fundamental relation between the two disciplines. Rhetorical scholarship provides a set of rules and techniques for effective communication as well as a system, how to apply them with the most impact on the audience. In the approach introduced in this paper, rhetorical scholarship is transferred to design. Therefore, we present a model, which describes the design process from a theoretical point of view. We show that design can adapt basic rhetorical categories and tools for the practical work, …

Questioning Drawing For Designers: Project Work As A Strategy And Examples From The Practice, Maria Vasconcelos, Helena Elias Nov 2006

Questioning Drawing For Designers: Project Work As A Strategy And Examples From The Practice, Maria Vasconcelos, Helena Elias

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Facing the changes of the named “global society and technological revolution”, this paper begins by equating through literature review main competences asked to designers and the way drawing as a discipline can make a contribution in the academic curricula of design courses. Such contribution is also shown by depicting some exercises of drawing and results obtained in practice. The paper considers drawing fundamental for designerly thinking and argues on the importance of project work as a methodology to give drawing a purpose, enriching and enlarging its capacity as a tool for creativity, thinking, and research, problem-solving and self expression. Drawing …

Regarding Software As A Material Of Design, E. Blevis, Y.K. Lim, E. Stolterman Nov 2006

Regarding Software As A Material Of Design, E. Blevis, Y.K. Lim, E. Stolterman

DRS Biennial Conference Series

We discuss the idea that software can be considered to be a material of design—an idea introduced in Löwgren & Stolterman’s recent book, “Thoughtful Interaction Design.” We discuss the implications of this idea for regarding software design to be a design discipline within design traditions. In order to characterize this way of thinking and give it some utility, we propose a paradigm for regarding software as a material of design that we call the SoftMat paradigm. We describe a framework for characterizing philosophical viewpoints about design that informs the SoftMat paradigm and that we call VMR—for values, methods, and reasoning. …

The Fairy Stories Project: Towards A History Of Architecture As A Time Based Medium, Edward Hollis Nov 2006

The Fairy Stories Project: Towards A History Of Architecture As A Time Based Medium, Edward Hollis

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The History and Theory of Architecture have traditionally discussed buildings as if they were the fixed, timeless emanations of the mind of an omnipotent Architect. However, the real life of buildings as we experience them is anything but fixed, pure, or timeless. In order to survive, buildings have to be as chimerical and cunning as the people who made them. This paper proposes an alternative history of Architecture that aims to resolve this contradiction between Theory and Practice. This proposed History records the survival stories of a number of buildings, told in the manner of stories that have themselves survived …

Towards A Definition Of Kansei, P Levy, T Yamanaka Nov 2006

Towards A Definition Of Kansei, P Levy, T Yamanaka

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper introduces a new research aiming at defining the term Kansei using western philosophical concepts. In the literature, all definitions of the term Kansei are imprecise, even incorrect in most of the case. This is mainly due to the fact that Kansei is a Japanese term, which does not have direct translation in any western language. However, a deeper research has to be pursued to bring the research in Kansei, in Kansei Information, in Kansei Science, and so forth to an international level. This objective requires many research fields to meet in an interdisciplinary research environment following the example …

How To Develop Basic Research In Communication Design, P.K. Storkerson Nov 2006

How To Develop Basic Research In Communication Design, P.K. Storkerson

DRS Biennial Conference Series

As a matter of competence and legitimacy, Communication design needs the grounding and knowledge that come from basic research. One of the major impediments to basic research in communication design is the lack of theoretical frames by which to apprehend and isolate valid, significant research questions and define research methods. This paper explicates these problems and proposes solutions by outlining a process of defining theory and method and by proposing a specific ontological and epistemological frame within which to conduct research in communication design.

Reframing American Democracy: The Role Of Research In The Interpretation Of Redesigned Election Artefacts, E.D. Tunstall Nov 2006

Reframing American Democracy: The Role Of Research In The Interpretation Of Redesigned Election Artefacts, E.D. Tunstall

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In November 2000, a poorly designed “butterfly” ballot in Palm Beach County, Florida, of the United States of America, changed election history. From 2001-2005, Design for Democracy, a strategic program of AIGA and UPA, conducted ethnographically based research to redesigned election artifacts, including the ballot. This paper explores the role of research, particularly ethnographic research, in the interpretation of the “meaning” of these redesigned election artifacts within the discourses of American democracy. In particular, it focuses on the discourses of American democracy as framed by the contexts of American professional design organizations, international museums such as the Pompidou Center, and …

Researching The Research Culture In Art & Design: The Art And Design Index To Theses, T Fisher, J Mottram

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The aim of this study is to develop better function and performance for embodiment of electric-powered wheelchair from the aspect of human kansei. Embodiment is the concept which frequently used in robotics or neural science. An embodiment of electric wheelchair is to realize the function which is felt natural like flesh body. We studied it through the two standpoints. One is how it move, the other how we feel (kansei). Kansei is a concept that includes emotion and sensibility. Kansei was defined as an intuitive ability to react and evaluate the values like pleasure and comfort. As we were factoring …

Formative Research For Interface Design For Older Adults: Reducing Adverse Self-Medication Behaviors, Z Strickler, C Rauh, Pj Neafsey, C Lin Nov 2006

Formative Research For Interface Design For Older Adults: Reducing Adverse Self-Medication Behaviors, Z Strickler, C Rauh, Pj Neafsey, C Lin

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The current project Reducing Adverse Self-Medication Behaviors in Older Adults builds on an earlier study by the investigators (Preventing Drug Interactions in Older Adults), in which a computer software program was developed to help older adults learn to avoid common, harmful, drug interactions. The program contains attractive, simplified animations demonstrating how two types of prescription medications (antihypertensives and anticoagulants) work in the human body, and how these can interact with over-thecounter (OTC) drugs and alcohol in ways that may lead to harmful health outcomes. The interface and animations were designed to be easy to use and appealing to older adults …

The Status And The Prospects Of Deconstruction In Graphic Design, Dong-Sik Hong, Mijeong Hwang Nov 2006

The Status And The Prospects Of Deconstruction In Graphic Design, Dong-Sik Hong, Mijeong Hwang

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Visual communication design has been represented in varied images from ancient society up until the present time. Especially graphic design, which has experienced artistic upheaval from modernism and postmodernism, has been enabled to deliver messages in a more developed and sensuous appearances. Deconstructionist design wasn't well received by modernism, an advocate of practicality and effectiveness; however, as the beginning of subsequent postmodernism, it started to earn a warm welcome from a number of designers. Postmodernism made it possible for deconstruction to be a new paradigm appreciating neutral respect for varied expressions and designers' idiosyncrasy. Corresponding to this new trend, Edward …

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 …

Visual Rhetoric And The Special Eloquence Of Visual Form, Leslie Atzmon Nov 2006

Visual Rhetoric And The Special Eloquence Of Visual Form, Leslie Atzmon

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Despite the recent flurry of interest in the visual, the written word continues to dominate as both the focus and medium of deep analysis. I suggest that we ought to challenge this paradigm by questioning the privileging of the verbal in western culture in general and the academy in particular. I propose that one way to do so is to elevate visual rhetoric to equal status with verbal rhetoric. Unfortunately, when visual entities are “elevated,” the “elevator” commonly turns to framing strategies that isolate artifacts from the broader cultural contexts in which they are created and used. Not only does …

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, …
