Over the past decade, the convergence of technology and entertainment has opened new avenues for improving the experiences of film enthusiasts and tourists alike. Focusing on merging reality and reel to enhance memorable tourist experiences, this paper introduces a comprehensive design model for developing smart film tourism applications. A qualitative approach was employed to explore the expectations and potential issues faced by film tourists throughout their journeys. Subsequently, insights are generated and translated into four key design aspects and corresponding features, integrating augmented reality technology. The convergence of elements within the model aims to facilitate a deeper connection between tourists …
Strategic Design Futures: Exploring Strategy And Futures To Learn And Practice Design For Intentional Change, G. Mauricio Mejía
Strategic Design Futures: Exploring Strategy And Futures To Learn And Practice Design For Intentional Change, G. Mauricio Mejía
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Designers change existing situations with a focus on changing the behavior of artifacts. When designers aim to intentionally change the behaviors of individuals, organizations, or social systems, practitioners use specific approaches. Strategy (strategic design) and futures (design futures) are two alternatives for designers working on complex situations that require intentional change. This paper presents and reports three editions of a course titled Strategic Design Futures that address this type of situation. The course includes a seminar and a project component, which are structured into six design activities: sense-making, participatory visioning, designing futures, designing strategy, participatory evaluation, and design implementation. The …
Drifting By Friction: Playing With Ontologies Of Design, Mathias Poulsen
Drifting By Friction: Playing With Ontologies Of Design, Mathias Poulsen
DRS Biennial Conference Series
In this paper, I will trace the ‘drift’ that has happened in my PhD project, ‘De-signing for Playful Democratic Frictions’. I argue that it has been driven primarily by the friction that emerged between the diverse components in my ‘research-assemblage’. The aim is not to resolve the friction, but rather to enhance and fol-low it as far as I can. I suggest that a playful attitude is helpful for lingering with this friction, and that such a stance can allow us to see things otherwise ob-scured by tales of historical necessity. This notion of drifting by friction may in-spire strategies …
Queer Futures: Correlations Between Queer Identity And Imagination Literacy, Gem Barton
Queer Futures: Correlations Between Queer Identity And Imagination Literacy, Gem Barton
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Futures thinking, and doing, has been the domain of the privileged majority for centuries. The very idea of ‘the future’ (singular) was fundamental to the crea-tion and maintenance of imperial domination and technological modernity. To this day, mainstream media readily emits the narrow and repetitive science fic-tion tropes void of (realistic, fair) representation of a wider inclusive society, specifically absent of queerness. This paper builds on the work of Alexis Lothian’s ‘Old Futures: speculative fiction and queer possibility’ in which she explores the forces queer people (and other marginalised communities) invoke when they dream up alternative futures as a way …
Design Principles Of The Pluriversal Design Paradigm, Eveline Van Zeeland
Design Principles Of The Pluriversal Design Paradigm, Eveline Van Zeeland
DRS Biennial Conference Series
When scientists embrace a different paradigm, this naturally leads to a shift in aca-demic behavior. While the importance and necessity of the pluriversal design framework are evident, understanding how this paradigm influences academic conduct is less clear. Through a systematic literature review of 103 academic papers on the pluriversal approach, it is deducted what it is that researchers do or suggest to do when shaping their research and design practice through the pluriversal de-sign paradigm. In this study, the pluriversal design paradigm is distilled into a set of foundational prerequisites and design principles. These design principles can be applied by …
Historical Evolution Of Age-Friendly Transitions In The Yangfangdian Community In Beijing: A Multi-Level Perspective, Lijun Chen, Vladimír Kočí, Haipeng Tian
Historical Evolution Of Age-Friendly Transitions In The Yangfangdian Community In Beijing: A Multi-Level Perspective, Lijun Chen, Vladimír Kočí, Haipeng Tian
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The issue of transition and transformation of communities has a long history. Particularly in today's context of increasing aging trends, cities and communities are facing unprecedented multiple challenges that drive the transition to a more inclusive and sustainable future to enable community stakeholders to have a higher quality of life experience and to fulfil their visions for the future. This paper systemically reveals insights from the past of the ageing issue in the Yangfangdian community in Beijing through a multi- level perspective (MLP) framework created with local residents, a museum and design students to understand the historical foundations of the …
Shanzhai As A Pluriversal Praxis: Challenging Western Design And Innovation Paradigm, Dan Mu
Shanzhai As A Pluriversal Praxis: Challenging Western Design And Innovation Paradigm, Dan Mu
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper explores the concept of Shanzhai ('fake' in Chinese), a Chinese practice often associated with imitation and design plagiarism, this study uses Shan-zhai to critique dominant forms of innovation, framed by a discussion of pluriversal design. Through a comprehensive literature review and empirical research, this study explores Shanzhai's evolution from a response to globalisation and de-sign colonisation to a reflection of identity. Shanzhai's unique approach challenges dominant design narratives, but in its own way emphasises inclusiveness and innovation. The study concludes that Shanzhai transcends its initial role as a design and manufacturing practice, evolving into a cultural phenomenon symbolising …
Extremes: On How The Study Of Appropriation Might Inform Inclusive Workplace Design In Manufacturing, Ana Correia De Barros
Extremes: On How The Study Of Appropriation Might Inform Inclusive Workplace Design In Manufacturing, Ana Correia De Barros
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Disabled people, from younger to older adults, are at comparative disadvantage regarding work. Design for inclusion at work tends to focus on individual adaptations (often stigmatising) or general accessibility guidelines (often insufficient). Furthermore, there is a tendency to focus on inability rather than on extreme abilities, which seem to be the ones enabling workers to appropriate existing products and create their own designs. Therefore, design research requires more input from diverse workers as users to inform the design inclusive industrial workstations. Departing from theory and ending with analyses of workers' designs, this paper argues that the articulation of the concept …
When A Tree Says No: Towards A More-Than-Human Consent Notion For Design, Franca Lopez Barbera
When A Tree Says No: Towards A More-Than-Human Consent Notion For Design, Franca Lopez Barbera
DRS Biennial Conference Series
A growing body of more-than-human approaches in design reconsider and re-articulate design’s relationship to the natural world through relational frameworks. However, such endeavours do not come without difficulties and may even reproduce the very logics they seek to overcome. Despite the prolific efforts within the design community, overcoming the modern/colonial legacies of design and its anthropocentric paradigm remains a formidable challenge. Departing from the Quebracho Colorado tree as a guiding example, this paper delves into a gender and decolonial analysis of the notion of consent that underscores design’s role in reproducing extractive approaches to nature. It then goes on to …

Discovering Design Implications For Future Food Experiencing Artifacts, Yağmur Kocaman, Damla Gözde Kocaman, Oğuzhan Özcan
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Despite the growing number of research in Human-Food Interaction (HFI), studies mainly adopt a technology-oriented approach. The field focuses on creating foods computationally, leaving the device design neglected. This paper addresses this oversight by focusing on a prominent technology as a case study (i.e., 3D Food Printing) and exploring new forms and meanings HFI technologies may embody. We first explored domestic users' food-related dynamics, habits, and preferences in everyday life (N=19). We then present the outcomes of design workshops with 25 professional designers, resulting in 73 unique concepts aligned with the in-sights from domestic kitchen users. Overall, we extracted ten …
Pluriversal Design In One Situated Place: An Approach Rooted In The Interface Between The Local And The Global, Iris Y. Luo, Renata M. Leitao
Pluriversal Design In One Situated Place: An Approach Rooted In The Interface Between The Local And The Global, Iris Y. Luo, Renata M. Leitao
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This essay posits that a Place-Based approach is the prerequisite for fostering fruitful and mutually-respectful form of social design in the emerging paradigm of pluriversality – contextualized within the contemporary global order. The concept of "Place" serves as the nexus between the Local and the Global: it's where intermediaries reside, translation unfolds, and power dynamics intensify. By examining four historical phases from the pre-colonial period through post-modernity, this work looks into the evolution of the concept of Place and its role in the construction of power. This discussion encourages designers to ground themselves in the local, embedded within communities, while …
Relational Workshopping: Co-Designing A Placemaking Approach To Urban Governance, Milagros Hurtig, Brita Fladvad Nielsen
Relational Workshopping: Co-Designing A Placemaking Approach To Urban Governance, Milagros Hurtig, Brita Fladvad Nielsen
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Participatory Placemaking is increasingly implemented by European cities as a methodological framework to achieve more sustainable ways for urban development. However, there is a clash between the flexible, dynamic, and communicative nature of participatory placemaking and the static, slow, and bureaucratic nature of the implementing institutions. The starting point of this study where two research questions: What communicational challenges arise when participatory placemaking is implemented by city officials in specific urban contexts? And how can design tools play a role contributing to the relational dynamics of placemaking? This article explores these, while simultaneously discussing the role design tools can play …
Re-Imagining And Reaffirming Design Pedagogy In Response To Generative Ai Tools, Roger Whitham, Naomi Jacobs, Paul Coulton, Glynn Stockton, Joseph Lindley
Re-Imagining And Reaffirming Design Pedagogy In Response To Generative Ai Tools, Roger Whitham, Naomi Jacobs, Paul Coulton, Glynn Stockton, Joseph Lindley
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper considers how we can adapt HE design pedagogies in response to the emergence of generative AI (GenAI) tools. We focus on the authors’ own HE institution and describe our work through the first half of 2023 to understand the impact of these tools on how our students approach their work, and to adapt our design pedagogies in response. This paper includes accounts of student attitudes to these tools, and the outcomes of our own experimentation with contemporary GenAI tools (ChatGPT4, MidJourney5). We identify 12 challenges for design pedagogy that span assessment, student learning and teaching deliver which our …
Relationality In Design: What Can Be Understood?, Isaac Arturo Ortega Alvarado
Relationality In Design: What Can Be Understood?, Isaac Arturo Ortega Alvarado
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper addresses the inclusion of relationality as a concept in design. Relational-ity is primarily brought into design from adjacent disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, where the concept helps understand aspects of kinship, care, and belonging. The concept is also infused with elements of associative thinking. The paper narratively reviews examples of relationality in literature from design-related scholarly discourse. The literature sample covers papers addressing relationality through case studies or conceptual calls for practice change. The results from this review provide three understandings of relationality: 1) The utilitarian that unpacks social relations as an epistemic and functional source …
Developing A Methodological Framework For Sustainability Transitions In The Built Environment, Alise Plavina, Tommy Kleiven, Ida Nilstad Pettersen
Developing A Methodological Framework For Sustainability Transitions In The Built Environment, Alise Plavina, Tommy Kleiven, Ida Nilstad Pettersen
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Transitions towards sustainability involving technological, social, behavioural, institutional, and organisational change are urgently needed to address the complex environmental and societal challenges. While the built environment has a considerable environmental and social impact, design scope for sustainable architecture has been primarily limited to reducing the environmental impacts of individual buildings. To achieve net-positive natural and social outcomes for the built environment there is a need for more systemic approaches and design methodology that allows to reframe the task of design from solving isolated problems to contributing to system transformation. The article reviews transformational, systems-oriented process models and associated tools developed …
Passageways And Portals: A Comparative Analysis Of Transition Spaces In Physical, Digital, And Virtual Environments, Seulgi Sylvia Kim, Anijo Punnen Mathew, Zach Pino
Passageways And Portals: A Comparative Analysis Of Transition Spaces In Physical, Digital, And Virtual Environments, Seulgi Sylvia Kim, Anijo Punnen Mathew, Zach Pino
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This study explores transition spaces across physical, digital, and virtual environments. From hallways to digital loading screens and virtual portals, these spaces serve as cognitive buffers, aiding users in navigating environmental shifts. Our comparative analysis reveals consistent human experiences across diverse environments, while also identifying distinct attributes of each transition space. We identify two main categories: transition-focused spaces, which emphasize efficient movement, and experience-focused spaces, which offer richer, immersive experiences. We also identify four core transition types: Environmental, Perspective, Identity, and Sensory transitions. Experience-focused spaces, such as lobbies and VR gathering areas, play a pivotal role in facilitating identity transitions. …

Coastliners Lab: Mapping For Environmental Spatial Justice At The Water’S Edge, Gokcen Erkilic
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Coastliners Lab is a trans-media critical mapping practice that focuses on the border conditions of bodies of water and how they shape socio-material processes of human and environmental relations in urban and extra-urban settings. The lab works with a deep cartographic layering of aerial photographs, historical maps, news reports, video footage, field notes, interviews, and more to explore embodied map-making methods that define new roles for design toward spatial justice. It highlights agencies and political ecologies underlying the contested anthropogenic impacts on the margins of transforming landscapes. Istanbul’s political and ecological struggles with the surrounding bodies of water have been …

Arizona V. Navajo Nation And Systemic Failures In The Tribal Water Allocation Scheme, Jennifer Horkovich
Arizona V. Navajo Nation And Systemic Failures In The Tribal Water Allocation Scheme, Jennifer Horkovich
Fordham Environmental Law Review
When the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Arizona v. Navajo Nation was published in June 2023, Indian Country was hardly surprised with the Court’s ruling. There, the Court found that the United States had no affirmative duty to affirmatively protect the Navajo Nation’s water rights under the 1868 Treaty.1 The Court was clear: the treaty is insufficient for the Navajo’s current water needs, but the judiciary is unable to step in to find relief.2 This decision is another in a long series of cases on water allocation and the federal reserved water right, where tribes have been unable to …
Winterkill Potential Of Alfalfa Under Different Snow Depths, R H. Leep
Winterkill Potential Of Alfalfa Under Different Snow Depths, R H. Leep
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The presence and amount of insulating winter snow cover are key factors in determining the potential of winter injury of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) In the Midwestern U.S. Four alfalfa varieties of varying fall dormancy ratings were planted in the summers of 1993 and 1994. Snow depths above the crop plots were kept constant at depths of 0, 10, and 20 cm during the subsequent winters with framed mesh covers. Winterkill percentages during the two seasons varied dramatically from 0-100% and were significantly higher for the 0 cm treatment than for 10 or 20 cm treatments. Nitro, a nondormant …
Effect Of Grazing And Soils On The Structure Of Mountain Vegetation Communities, I Alonso
Effect Of Grazing And Soils On The Structure Of Mountain Vegetation Communities, I Alonso
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The range of life forms of four grassland communities in the Cantabrian mountains (N. Spain) was studied under grazing and when grazing was excluded in relation to soil characteristics. Hemicryptophytes were the most abundant life form in all communities and they increased their number when ungrazed. Diversity was bigger in the communities with shrubs, which presented a more heterogeneous structure. As a whole, grasslands on calcareous soils were more diverse than those on siliceous soils.
Integrating Satellite Images And Species-Based Vegetation Maps To Manage Native Grasslands, M Hall-Beyer, Q.H. J. Gwyn
Integrating Satellite Images And Species-Based Vegetation Maps To Manage Native Grasslands, M Hall-Beyer, Q.H. J. Gwyn
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Satellite image mapping of grasslands is problematic when species diversity occurs at a sub-pixel scale. We propose a method, called melody classification, to map ground cover units that group several spectral classes (colours). Melodies are defined as the normalized expected frequencies of each class within the ground cover unit. Starting from an unsupervised classification, an image is created showing the probability of finding each spectral class in the vicinity of each pixel. Each pixel is classified by comparing the melody in its neighbourhood with that of each ground cover unit. Accuracies are greatly enhanced over those of supervised classification. Melody …
