From Tools To Actors: Understanding Non-Human Agencies In Intergenerational Interaction Design For Older Adults, Chen Li, Song Xu Dec 2025

From Tools To Actors: Understanding Non-Human Agencies In Intergenerational Interaction Design For Older Adults, Chen Li, Song Xu

IASDR Conference Series

This study adopts Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to examine how non-human actors exercise agency in intergenerational interaction design. Moving beyond the notion of gerontechnology technology as passive tools, we frame these technologies as active participants in shaping intergenerational connections. Through case-based analysis and material ethnography, we analyzed four design projects—Harmony Makers, CampChess, XiangqiMate, and SereniTea House. By systematically coding design documents, interviews, and user interaction videos, we identified five dimensions of non-human agency: Interaction Triggering, Relationship Coordination, Emotional Modulation, Cultural Invocation, and Identity Positioning. These dimensions highlight the distributed and relational nature of agency within intergenerational settings, where non-human actors not …

The Paradigm Shift Of Inclusive Design, Ying Jiang, Ye Zhou Dec 2025

The Paradigm Shift Of Inclusive Design, Ying Jiang, Ye Zhou

IASDR Conference Series

Inclusive design has emerged as a vital concept under the orientation of "human-centered" approaches. With the growing imperative of sustainable development, the scope of inclusive design has gradually expanded into a broader framework of "humanity-centered" practices. From a relational perspective, inclusive design can be understood through four paradigmatic dimensions: the relationship between humans and products, between humans and others, between humans and the environment, and between humans and themselves. On one hand, human-centered inclusive design primarily focuses on the relationship between people and products, and interpersonal care, emphasizing how design products meet human needs and how individuals engage in collaboration …

Making Meaning Manifest: Communication And Relevance In Design Thinking, Luke Feast Dec 2025

Making Meaning Manifest: Communication And Relevance In Design Thinking, Luke Feast

IASDR Conference Series

This paper examines communication in design thinking, drawing on Sperber and Wilson's Relevance Theory as an alternative to the prevailing information-processing model. While design thinking is commonly framed as problem-solving, we propose that designed artefacts function as ostensive stimuli that guide users' inferential processes rather than encoding fixed meanings. The ostensive-inferential model reveals how designers communicate through intentions, where users actively infer meaning based on evidence, context, and relevance. This framework explains complex communicative phenomena, including affordances, metaphors, cross-cultural design considerations, and ethical dimensions of design practice. This perspective has significant implications for design thinking education and practice, emphasising communication …
