Exploring The Meaning Network In Exhibition Design Of Intangible Cultural Heritage, Zhengyu Chen, Ming Zhong, Tie Ji, Yuqing Chen

IASDR Conference Series

In traditional exhibition practice, displays are predominantly object-centered, and information flows remain largely unidirectional, positioning visitors as passive recipients. Under this conventional curatorial paradigm, cultural translation and meaning-making processes are comparatively static and singular. This paper, therefore, seeks to articulate the interrelationships among humans, artifacts, space, and technology, thereby constructing a dynamically participatory and complex system for the expression of cultural, historical, and artistic narratives. Drawing on the proposed “meaning network” model, the author designed the Mianyang Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum, rendering meaning generation more dynamic and information exchange more pluralistic. This approach enhances visitors’ experience and cultural empathy while …

Structural Optimization Of Cst-Based Design Education Models In The Context Of Generative Ai, Chunyu Liao, Chaoqun Li, Zhanrong Cao, Zhouchang Yu, Ruixin Hu, Tao Han

IASDR Conference Series

The discussion on CST-based design education essentially reflects a critical stance toward the conventional use of the CST concept. The development of CST design education emerged as a response to the long-standing limitations of computational thinking (CT), with “CT and CST-based design education” historically forming the foundation of what the academic community has defined as creativity support tools. Today, with the advent of generative AI (GenAI), the genuine realization of CST appears increasingly attainable. The shift in focus from CT to CST design education stems from the latter’s embodiment of more definitive CST characteristics. This paper contributes by tracing the …

The Algorithmic Gift Of Error: Ai Hallucination As A Catalyst For Speculative Futures And Design Methodology, Liang Xiao, Yuqi Liu, Ye Zhang, Mi Chen Dec 2025

The Algorithmic Gift Of Error: Ai Hallucination As A Catalyst For Speculative Futures And Design Methodology, Liang Xiao, Yuqi Liu, Ye Zhang, Mi Chen

IASDR Conference Series

In recent years, generative artificial intelligence has been widely adopted in design and creative practices. However, its tendency to produce “hallucinations”—outputs characterized by illogical ity, bias, or factual inaccuracy—is often regarded as a system flaw. From the perspective of speculative design, which aims not to solve problems but to destabilize assumptions, such generative disruptions can serve as potent catalysts for reimagining futures. This paper re-evaluates the creative potential of AI hallucination through the methodological lens of speculative fiction and design. It outlines three distinct hallucination mechanisms: strategic hallucination, stochastic hallucination, and systemized serendipity. These are illustrated through three case studies—In …

Relationship Between Respiration And Reflection -Design For Abdominal Suppleness As A New Healthcare Index, Takashi Kato Dec 2025

Relationship Between Respiration And Reflection -Design For Abdominal Suppleness As A New Healthcare Index, Takashi Kato

IASDR Conference Series

Modern healthcare devices quantify bodily states through data, yet users rarely feel a direct bodily connection. This study introduces abdominal suppleness—the softness of the upper abdomen during respiration—as a new embodied health indicator. Integrating traditional Japanese abdominal examination (Fukushin) with physiological measurement, we examined how autonomic activity affects abdominal motion. Experiments using the ocul ocardiac reflex showed slower and deeper abdominal movement under parasympathetic dominance, suggesting that suppleness relates to relaxation. Beyond physiology, we frame abdominal suppleness as a design parameter that bridges sensation and data, enabling users to perceive internal states through reflection via embodiment. This research extends health …
