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

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

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 …

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 …

The Discrete And The Continuous In Architecture And Design, L Feast

DRS Biennial Conference Series

architecture and design. In architecture this has been and characterised by the displacement of deconstructivist techniques of collage and contradiction with a folded logic of continuity and curvature. A correlative development can be discerned in design within the transition from the external moral code of green design to the immanent ethics of sustainable design. This parallel development suggests a rich site for dialogue and exchange between folding in architecture and the ecology of sustainable design, one that I argue presents an immanent field of design without transcendent unification of the disciplines. This paper seeks to examine this conceptual site through …

Conventions Of Typography Related To Traditional Poetry, Hs Pacheco

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper is part of a PhD research project which is in its final year. The aim of this research is to investigate and analyse how traditional poetry has been handled in books, in England, in terms of typographic development. The research examines the binary structure of the poem on the page, that is to say the opposing features of printed text and the space around it. In particular, it focuses on segmentation, which is the visible division of the text into units that, to a greater or lesser extent, reflects its underlying structure. This paper discusses conventions which have …

Designing A Physical Environment For Co-Experience And Assessing Participant Use, Marlene Ivey, E. B.-N Sanders

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Since participatory design methodology began to take shape in the 1980s, the prevalent view of experience as something individual has expanded to include the experience of collective creativity – defined as co-design by Sanders (2002) and co-experience by Battarbee (2003). To date, research based on co-experience scenarios has focused on experiences that users create for themselves using products or services that already exist (Battarbee 2003) in spaces that do not appear to be specifically designed for co-experience. Kristensen (2004:7) refers to the limited address of the physical context of creativity. However, there is limited scope for developing knowledge in this …

Preliminary Studies For The Creation Of A Functional Archive Of Constructional Solutions, R. Vigano, E. Rovida, A. De Crescenzo, D. Raco

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper describes the preliminary studies on the creation of a functional archive of principles and constructional solutions. The primary objective of this archive, which has been created by means of a database, is to provide the different solutions enabling to achieve a function requested on entry. These studies aim at defining the database fields and the relations between them. In order to define entities such as functions, flows, principles and function-carriers, theoretical research has focused on the different systematic design methods, notably concerning technical systems’ analysis and functional modelling. Once found valid definitions for the concepts which are to …

Champions, Conformists, And Challengers: Attitudes Of Interior Designers As Expressions Of Sustainability Through Materials Selection, K. J. Mate

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Whilst the uptake of sustainable interior design has increased recently, material selection has improved only slightly since the mid-1990s. This is probably because human values and attitudes have not changed significantly, despite the prominence of sustainability in government policy. This paper describes the results of a research project that investigated the sustainability values of interior designers and examined how those values shape designers’ behaviour, particularly the selection of materials for design briefs involving sustainability. The project categorised designers into three groups according to their sustainability values: champions, conformists or challengers. A set questionnaire was used in interviews with 20 interior …

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 …

Industrial Design As Contributor To Relieving Child Anxiety In The Course Of Mri Scanning Procedures., S C Coxon

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now a widely used diagnostic imaging procedure that has been employed throughout hospitals all over the world for over twenty years. MRI technology allows doctors and specialists to examine internal parts of the human body such as the brain and spinal chord, without invasive procedures. Studies show that children frequently find MRI scanning daunting and occasionally frightening despite the examinations non-invasive qualities. The principle contributors to this negative experience have been identified as the sterile ambiance of the hospital environment, the claustrophobic tunnel or bore that the patient lies within, the overly warm temperatures, high …

Designing Product Character: Strategy To Evaluate Product Preference And Map Design Direction, Low Chee Siong Edwin, Ching Chiuan Yen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

According to Janlert and Stolterman (1997), “people, as well as things, have character- high level attributes that help us understand and relate to them.” de Bont et al. (1992) argues that users will prefer a product with characteristics that best match their needs or personality. As such, to influence user’s preference on a product, it is essential for the character of the product to be coherent with the user’s character. This is attempted by investigating products as “living objects”, eliciting specific characteristics or character attributes similar to the user. Though the concept of regarding products as animate objects is not …

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 …

Architectural Thought Experiments, Verisimilitude And Argumentation In Predicting Architectural Quality, J.L. Heintz

DRS Biennial Conference Series

they must predict the future. In this paper, I make a modest proposal for assisting in such ‘predictions’ – a method for testing the degree to which the designed building will actually meet the goals of the client and designer. Combining thought experiments, as used in physics, and Ensembles of Use as proposed by Richard Hill, the tool I propose here – the architectural thought experiment – will, I hope, have the advantage of speed, and can (at least partly) fulfill the role played by physical testing. Through examining the strengths and weaknesses of these and other existing methodologies, I …

Industrialisation And Social Innovation: Design In A New Context, N Morelli

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Many years ago, Viktor Papanek urgently called for a radical revision of the design profession, based on an exploration of new territories outside the market oriented logic. For many years Papnek’s call was ignored, but the problems he emphasised became more and more evident. Globalisation requires industrial production to adopt complex strategies that mix action at the global and the local level. While industrial production is globalising, local needs are becoming more and more complex, generating demand patterns and opportunities, often ignored by the mainstream market-oriented perspective. Papanek’s proposal was revived some years ago, with the Common Ground conference. Starting …

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 …

A Proposal Of Design Method Based On Hierarchical Design Model And An Application For Automotive Seat Designs, Y Nomura, Y Ujiie, Y Matsuoka

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In the early process of design where a conceptual design and a basic design are done, a structural model is often used by designers. On the other hand, in the late process of design where a detailed design is done, a mathematical model is often used by engineers. In the conventional studies, a design method that has an ability to support the building of both models has not been proposed. In this study, the Hierarchical Design Model proposed by Matsuoka was paid attention to. Firstly, the Hierarchical QFD that reflects the features of Hierarchical Design Model has been expanded into …

A Guide To Methods For Small And Medium Sized Enterprises (Smes) Designing For New Markets, Based On Cultural Research Experiences, M. Haarakoski, M.E. Johansson, J. Lundberg

DRS Biennial Conference Series

One factor determining an industrially produced product’s success is how well it complies with customer needs. When small and medium size enterprises (SME) launch products onto new foreign markets, it is important to conduct cultural research to take customer design preferences in to consideration. This study, based on experiences from field studies in three countries, the USA, South Korea and Germany, can offer the SME´s designer with guidance of how to collect information about cultural design preferences in practice. The aim is to show the SME how to conduct design studies by themselves and what the benefits are of doing …

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 …
