A Systematic Thinking On Evaluation Of Community Service Facilities In The Context Of Design, Mao-En He, Chang Liu Oct 2023

A Systematic Thinking On Evaluation Of Community Service Facilities In The Context Of Design, Mao-En He, Chang Liu

IASDR Conference Series

Community Service Facilities are the basic unit that carries the daily activities of residents. The evaluation of community service facilities is the key to ensuring a balance between the supply of facilities and the needs of residents. Existing studies mainly focus on a specific type of facility from the perspective of an independent discipline. A lack of a holistic understanding leads to several problems, such as the incompatibility of different disciplines' perspectives and the inconsistency between evaluation results and users' needs. Design is being considered and explored as a tool for dealing with systems-level issues. We re-cognized the evaluation problem …

Scalable Ehmi: Automated Vehicles-Pedestrian Interactions Design Based On Gestalt Principles, Yunhui Gao, Luo Wang, Ziteng Zhang Oct 2023

Scalable Ehmi: Automated Vehicles-Pedestrian Interactions Design Based On Gestalt Principles, Yunhui Gao, Luo Wang, Ziteng Zhang

IASDR Conference Series

The existing research on external human-machine interfaces (eHMIs) targeted at augmenting interactions between automated vehicles (AVs) and pedestrians has primarily concentrated on pedestrian crossings in one-to-one encounters. Nevertheless, in practical situations, pedestrians must assimilate additional information regarding the status of multiple vehicles while crossing. In order to enhance the efficacy of eHMIs in authentic situations, there is a requisite for more succinct and efficient information transmission. In response to this requirement, we have formulated an electronic Human-Machine Interface (eHMI) that is grounded on the Gestalt principle as the fundamental theoretical framework. We have assessed the efficacy of this approach through …

Textile Autobiographies: Crafting Shifting Identities With Refugee Communities, Francesco Mazzarella, Seher Mirza Oct 2023

Textile Autobiographies: Crafting Shifting Identities With Refugee Communities, Francesco Mazzarella, Seher Mirza

IASDR Conference Series

With the rising mass displacement of people, rethinking and addressing the needs and aspirations of refugee communities and honouring their diverse cultures is needed. Historically, the textile heritage of minorities has often been subjected to cultural appropriation practices or systematically undervalued and ‘othered’ as ‘non-fashion’. Designers are often ‘parachuted’ into marginalised or disadvantaged communities premised on bringing their own knowledge and expertise to solve other people’s problems. However, there is growing recognition of the need to ‘decolonise’ such dominant approaches in collaborative design practice. Instead of re-enacting dominant power narratives, London-based refugees and asylum seekers were engaged in storytelling sessions …

Aqueous Logics: Towards A Hydro Feminism Approach To Sustainability, Beatrice Maggipinto, Valentina Nisi, Sarah Fox, Nuno Nunes, Tom Ainsworth

IASDR Conference Series

In the popular imagination, sustainability is often synonymous with environmentalism, but it encapsulates much more. While environmentalism and conservation are often a focal point of sustainability efforts, so too are the people who impact the environment through their actions and associated activism. In this paper, we examine the discourse on sustainability, nature conservation and climate change. We focus, in particular, on the relationship between humans and the seas, where three main topics entangle: eco-feminism, ocean conservation and well-being. This paper highlights its implications for research on sustainability, nature conservation and climate change by outlining an aqueous logic — a fluid …

The Brand As A Place. For A Model Interpreting Identity In The Digital Age., Francesco E. Guida, Elisa Finesso

IASDR Conference Series

What if the brand is a place? In specialist literature, the brand interacts through a series of tangible and intangible touchpoints with its interlocutors. When we buy items, use services, or come into contact with any expression of a brand, we come into contact with its being. Whether these are points of sale, events, websites, packaging and products, touchpoints help the interlocutor enter the world of the brand and experience it. These elements play an essential role in building a long-term engagement with it. However, in an ever-changing environment where brands must be flexible and agile to remain market relevant, …

Embedded Actors In Design Objects: Reflexivity In Design For Social Innovation, Danwen Ji, Ziqi Li Oct 2023

Embedded Actors In Design Objects: Reflexivity In Design For Social Innovation, Danwen Ji, Ziqi Li

IASDR Conference Series

Designers lead practices to focus on complex social-technical systems, however, most of the time they forget that they should also be embedded in the social structure they intend to change. Recently, researchers have been giving increased attention to “reflexivity” in design, but there has been limited exploration of designers’ long-term engagement within the design object, particularly in community-based social innovation. We utilized the constructivist grounded theory to analyze the reflexive discourse of three practitioners, exploring their understanding of the social structure, their own identities, and the impact of reflexivity on their subsequent design actions. This study represents a preliminary inquiry …

The Lonely Island: A Design Game To Explore Loneliness Through Co-Creation., Mads Bärenholdt Oct 2023

The Lonely Island: A Design Game To Explore Loneliness Through Co-Creation., Mads Bärenholdt

IASDR Conference Series

Loneliness is an increasingly prevalent societal issue often associated with reduced well-being. Unpleasant feelings characterise the subjective experience of loneliness. However, research tends to focus more on health-related aspects rather than exploring what it means to live with loneliness and participate in everyday life, particularly for young adults. This paper examines a co-designing approach that empowers young adults to express their perspectives on loneliness and its impact on their lives. By highlighting the lived experiences of those affected by loneliness, we can better understand how to address and design for this significant societal problem.

Pursuing Positionality In Design, Victoria Rodriguez Schon, Manuela Celi

IASDR Conference Series

In the context of a complex social matrix that we find ourselves in, described by the continuous flux of power relations and asymmetries; design as a practice, their practitioners and researchers carry the responsibility in the mindful shaping of the future. As mediators within the design system, designers carry the conversation between the design program, a hypothesis, the stakeholders, and the effects of the resulting conclusions. Within their practice and the reflexive process upon it, designers can question, critique, and dismantle oppressive systems of status quo perpetuation. A first approach to a critical dialogue in design suggests reviewing one’s identity …

Living Entanglement: Toward An Entangled Design Nexus, Clee Zhuo Wang, Laurent Laurent Gutierrez Oct 2023

Living Entanglement: Toward An Entangled Design Nexus, Clee Zhuo Wang, Laurent Laurent Gutierrez

IASDR Conference Series

Human-nature encounters more and more take forms of conflict, struggle, resistance and denial. Beneath the surface question of “how to survive”, these encounters reveal “entanglement” as the fundamental condition of the world. This new world view, supported by systems thinking and posthumanism, radicalizes the anthropocentric reductionistic belief. The shift informs a reposition of design from a method to produce (techne) to an invitation to co-becoming (phronesis). This article starts with a cross-disciplinary literature review to elaborate the concept of “entanglement” in three levels: relationality, co-becoming and blurred subject / object division. Then, the field work of an ecoliteracy program (“The …
