Generosity In More-Than-Human Design, Karey Helms Jun 2024

Generosity In More-Than-Human Design, Karey Helms

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Generosity in more-than-human design suggests an openness to change in grappling with human exceptionalism and nonhuman entanglements. Yet the risks of generosity in design practice are largely unarticulated, and it is unclear how designers might practically encounter and navigate them. In response, I first position generosity within feminist theory as an open dispossession and material exchange that is pre-reflective and asymmetrical. This articulation accounts for nonhuman organisms, objects, and agencies as inseparable from what it means to be a person. I then present three design cases that situate generosity in design practice. This includes specifying the relations explored, presence of …

The Space Between Procedural And Situated Ethics: Reflecting On The Use Of Existing Materials In Design Research On Children Affected By Stroke, Pleuntje Jellema, Piet Tutenel, Birgit Moser, Anne-Sophie Schoss, Maja Kevdzija, Andrea Jelić, Ann Heylighen Jun 2024

The Space Between Procedural And Situated Ethics: Reflecting On The Use Of Existing Materials In Design Research On Children Affected By Stroke, Pleuntje Jellema, Piet Tutenel, Birgit Moser, Anne-Sophie Schoss, Maja Kevdzija, Andrea Jelić, Ann Heylighen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Conducting design research in hard-to-enter care environments with children affected by stroke poses important ethical questions. Research focuses on procedural ethics or on situated ethics, emphasizing a hard-cut between research practices be-fore and during fieldwork. This paper explores this duality through an investigation of publicly available existing materials (i.e., biographies and YouTube videos). What was intended as a preparatory step before ‘entering the field’ becomes the primary way to better understand the role of the built environment in everyday lives of families affected by childhood stroke. In this paper we reflect on the shared space the investigation creates within a …

Creating A Mess! Design Strategies For Managing Visual Complexity In Second-Hand Shops, Lea Becker Frahm, Linda N. Laursen, Bo T. Christensen Jun 2024

Creating A Mess! Design Strategies For Managing Visual Complexity In Second-Hand Shops, Lea Becker Frahm, Linda N. Laursen, Bo T. Christensen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Enhancing the consumer experience in second-hand shopping is essential to support the sustainable reuse of products. Up to 80% of shopping decisions are unplanned, making store design significantly important. However, knowledge of the design strategies utilized in second-hand shops is limited. Second-hand shops grapple with store design challenges due to their vast array of unique products, resulting in high visual complexity and clutter. Current literature links such visual clutter to consumers' feelings of cognitive overload but also shows it connotates creativity. This study investigated the design strategies of professional second-hand retailers through observations (n = 25) and interviews (n = …

“Feelings About The Other Body:” Caring Through And Forward In Design For Play, Ida Kathrine Hammeleff Jørgensen, Harun Kaygan Jun 2024

“Feelings About The Other Body:” Caring Through And Forward In Design For Play, Ida Kathrine Hammeleff Jørgensen, Harun Kaygan

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper considers designers’ embodied engagements while designing for play from the lens of “care.” We consider such engagements as socio-material rela-tions of care, following recent theorizations of care within care studies. Relying on observations from a variety of activities undertaken by students during a two-week design workshop on embodied play design, we present a theoretical model that identifies two orders of care in design activities: First order, “care through,” indexes the immediate objects that designers attend to in the here-and-now while implementing procedures, practices and tools provided by diverse design methods. Second order, “care forward,” indicates the future beneficiaries …

Augmenting Soundscapes Of Icus: A Collaborative Approach, Gijs Louwers, Sylvia Pont, Esther Van Der Heide, Diederik Gommers, Elif Özcan Jun 2024

Augmenting Soundscapes Of Icus: A Collaborative Approach, Gijs Louwers, Sylvia Pont, Esther Van Der Heide, Diederik Gommers, Elif Özcan

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In this study we investigated characteristics for designing soundscape augmentations within Intensive Care Units (ICUs). We introduced soundscape perception and fundamental needs as the basis of design strategies for augmenting sound-scapes experienced by critically ill patients. We used results of a previous study, where in interviews regarding current ICU soundscapes, patients revealed four concerns and underlying needs. They found that ICU soundscapes were alienating, unvaried, unfamiliar, and disruptive. These insights were used as contextual inputs in a collaborative workshop with ICU nurses, resident doctors, and researchers. In separate groups, they developed three system concepts named Smart Environmental Assistant, Patient Soundscape …

‘Does Phosphorus Want To Sound Like That?’: Experiencing More-Than-Human Futures, Anton Poikolainen Rosén, Camillo Sanchez, Felix Anand Epp Jun 2024

‘Does Phosphorus Want To Sound Like That?’: Experiencing More-Than-Human Futures, Anton Poikolainen Rosén, Camillo Sanchez, Felix Anand Epp

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The paper explores the learning possible from including the public in explora-tions of more-than-human future visions. We presented an installation at a de-sign festival of a speculative scenario that emerged from ethnographic research with urban permaculture farmers, using sounds to represent concentrations of nutrients in soil. We studied how visitors wearing a sensor ring experienced the playing of these sounds upon insertion of a finger in the installation’s soil. Re-sponses underscore the importance of cultivating the skill of noticing through deep listening, alongside the profound connection thus established between humans and the more-than-human world. In a further contribution to more-than-human …

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Designing for future liveable cities demands a spectrum of perspectives, each responding in some way to global and local challenges, from climate change to safe housing. However, enabling spaces for often juxtaposed, contradictory and cooperative voices, both hopeful and cautionary, can be challenging. This paper is a first step in harnessing pluralistic expression through design fiction as an approach to speculating on design’s role in future liveable cities. In presenting individual speculative positions, authors attempt to reconcile their personal experiences, disciplinary expertise, and vision. This collective voice represents disciplinary diversity including – but not limited to – artificial intelligence, co-design, …

The Role Of Data An Intuition In Ux Design, Jonas Frich, Boyeun Lee, Saeema Ahmed-Kristensen Jun 2024

The Role Of Data An Intuition In Ux Design, Jonas Frich, Boyeun Lee, Saeema Ahmed-Kristensen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper explores the role of intuition in the adoption of data-driven ap-proaches in design within the broad domain of user experience design. To better understand the relationship between intuition and data-driven approaches, we conducted a mixed methods study entailing a qualitative exploration (n=10) of the challenges and opportunities professional designers face when working with data-driven methods, such as potential creativity constraints, knowledge gaps, tool deficiencies, collaboration difficulties, and ethical concerns. We then question whether these challenges stem from the intuitive nature of design work and the types of individuals it attracts and investigate this question using a quantita-tive online …

Empowerment Of People With Disabilities Through Collaborative Making: Exploring User Involvement In Designing And Adapting Assistive Products, Koray Canlar, Çağla Doğan

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This study investigates the extent of the empowering effects of making and collective production activities on people with disabilities and the assistive products they use. The universal and participatory design approaches intend to empower people with disabilities, but how a person with a disability can be empowered, and the requirements for it are highly dependent on the individual and the context. The research utilizes the elements of The Empowerment Theory to assess the resulting empowerment of participants’ making-related experiences. Semi-structured interviews and participant observations were conducted to understand the role of making and collective production activities in enabling the participation …

Exploring Human-Centered Design Method Selection Strategies With Large Language Models, Vivek Rao, Yuanrui Zhu, Timothy Yang, Euiyoung Kim, Alice Agogino, Kosa Goucher-Lambert

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In human-centered design (HCD) projects, designers select and use a variety of design methods in pursuit of a desired outcome. Given the prominence of method selection in designer behavior, what distinguishes a design team’s method selections from design method selection based on frequency or probability? To explore this question, we compare HCD methods suggested by the publicly-available large-language model, GPT-3.5, to 402 novice design team method selections over five offerings of a design projectbased learning course at a large public university. We observe that GPT-3.5 appears to represent design method knowledge held in method repositories like theDesignExchange well. We also …

Adelaide’S Graphic Heritage: The Quintessential “Contested” Colonial City, Robert Harland Jun 2024

Adelaide’S Graphic Heritage: The Quintessential “Contested” Colonial City, Robert Harland

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Adelaide, the state capital of South Australia, is a quintessential colonial city. However, in the land colonial settlers called Australia, colonialism demeaned notions of Country in a physically and politically contested space. New approaches have been called for to reconsider Australia as a shared space that places high value on indigenous identity. From within a context that challenges us to think about how Country and culture might be envisioned, designed, planned, and implemented, this paper reports on a hypothesis about how the concept of graphic heritage can be applied to enhance sustainable development in this South Australian setting. Building on …

Designing Sound For Public Spaces Through A Research-Creation Collaboration Framework, Valérian Fraisse, Marcelo Mortensen Wanderley, Nicolas Misdariis, Catherine Guastavino Jun 2024

Designing Sound For Public Spaces Through A Research-Creation Collaboration Framework, Valérian Fraisse, Marcelo Mortensen Wanderley, Nicolas Misdariis, Catherine Guastavino

DRS Biennial Conference Series

When designing a sound installation in public spaces, creators consider a wide range of factors related to the site where it will be deployed as part of the artistic statement. However, anticipating the impact of the sound installation on user experience is difficult in the absence of established methods to inform the design and evaluate the outcomes. Based on three case studies involving sound artists and soundscape researchers, we propose a research-creation collaboration framework through four stages: 1) field recordings of pre-existing sound environments; 2) diagnosis of pre-existing sound environments and public space usage; 3) sound installation prototyping in laboratory …

Drawing-Philosophy Correspondence: Towards Transforming From Within, Caroline Hummels Jun 2024

Drawing-Philosophy Correspondence: Towards Transforming From Within, Caroline Hummels

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The global call for transformation towards a more just, sustainable and pluriverse world has also materialised within the design field, asking for new design practices that embrace open-ended and relational processes. Several approaches emerged over the last decades, built on different values, and investigating ontological, epistemological, ethical, and practical dimensions. In this pictorial, I explore what these new practices can be and do, through embarking on a drawing-philosophy correspondence journey. This pictorial shows my three-year quest to explore the role of drawing for researching design for societal transformation. By visually researching philosophical concepts such as correspondence, commoning, minor key, and …

Relationality In Design: What Can Be Understood?, Isaac Arturo Ortega Alvarado Jun 2024

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 …

Hybrid Ecologies Of Artificial Intelligence: Prototyping Terrestrial Practices Through A Design Installation, Martin Tironi, Manuela Garretón Jun 2024

Hybrid Ecologies Of Artificial Intelligence: Prototyping Terrestrial Practices Through A Design Installation, Martin Tironi, Manuela Garretón

DRS Biennial Conference Series

If AI is usually represented as an immaterial and deterritorialized agency, this paper seeks to rematerialize the development of this technology, making visible water consumption in AI model generation. Drawing on studies of post-anthropocentric design and the notion of more-than-human interdependencies, we describe Hybrid Ecologies, an installation that problematizes the relationship between AI and the more-than-human agency of water. The installation is a design exploration to overcome the dichotomy between nature and technology, evidencing how AI inhabits a hybrid ecology, made of interdependent relationships between human agencies and terrestrial ecosystems. We try to move the reflection on AI from a …

Universities Undergoing Climate Transition: Developing Mlp Tools From A Context- Specific And Critical Standpoint, Niki Wallace, Ramia Mazé, Dilys Williams, Domenica Landin

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Knowledge gaps persist in the emerging field ‘Design for Transitions’ (DfT). Our research builds on the ‘multi-level perspective’ (MLP), a core concept in DfT and the wider Transition Studies field, and we address critiques of the MLP in terms of social practices, agency and power. Grounded in a ‘Research through Design’ approach and learning from our prior work, we have carefully adapted and designed MLP tools. We elucidate design considerations for MLP tools from within our 'live' climate transition of a UK university – research conducted within a university about the university. Contributing to DfT, we present six ‘design criteria’ …

Isolating And Addressing Theoretically-Grounded Limitations From The Rapid Translation Of Interaction Design Across Media Platforms, Rebecca Planchart, Mitchell Dunning, Matthew Peterson, Cesar Delgado, Karen B. Chen Jun 2024

Isolating And Addressing Theoretically-Grounded Limitations From The Rapid Translation Of Interaction Design Across Media Platforms, Rebecca Planchart, Mitchell Dunning, Matthew Peterson, Cesar Delgado, Karen B. Chen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Designers must frequently work rapidly under deadlines to produce minimum viable products (MVPs) in collaboration with other disciplinary experts. While results may be good enough for now, it is important that limitations of hasty work are not codified as permanently acceptable design solutions. A method called function mapping has previously been shown to aid in the translation of theoretically-derived functions across media platforms, where functionally equivalent products may need to appear superficially dissimilar, thus complicating true equivalency. Here we demonstrate function mapping’s efficacy at the threshold between MVPs and revisions. We use function mapping to explain the process of translating …

Cultivating Future-Oriented Responsibility In Design With Care, Irem Tekogul, Laura Forlano Jun 2024

Cultivating Future-Oriented Responsibility In Design With Care, Irem Tekogul, Laura Forlano

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Design futures -- as a subfield and as an approach -- responds directly to the precarity and uncertainty of our present. Within this context, the notion that "there will be no future" becomes the dominant vision. This paper argues that design, as a future-making praxis, should embrace ‘care’ to be able to respond to precarity. This paper draws on feminist care ethics and the concept of ‘matters of care’ to explore the theo-retical foundations for a care-informed approach to cultivate future-oriented respon-sibility in design. Care is situated, responsive and relational, and it resists reduction to step-by-step methods or toolkits. Thus, …

Mapping The Evolution Of Design Research: A Data-Driven Analysis Of Interdisciplinary Trends And Intellectual Landscape, Andrea Vian, Gianluca Carella, Daniele Pretolesi, Annalisa Barla, Francesco Zurlo

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Due to its interdisciplinary nature, research in design, more so than other disciplines, has to develop self-awareness to adapt to the inherent complexity of the contemporary world. This requires the use of big data as comprehensive self-descriptors, along with tools borrowed from the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to generate knowledge that researchers in this field can integrate with their own expertise to guide their research activities. We consider a large-scale set of about 170000 design-related scientific publications and leverage natural language processing, machine learning, and data visualization to explore and capture the evolution of the design community. We identify …

Genocide Memorialization Through Law In Bosnia And Herzegovina: Reconciling The Irreconcilable?, Carna Pistan Jun 2024

Genocide Memorialization Through Law In Bosnia And Herzegovina: Reconciling The Irreconcilable?, Carna Pistan

Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal

This article focuses on the law banning genocide denial and other war crimes and the glorification of convicted war criminals imposed in Bosnia and Herzegovina by the former High Representative Valentin Inzko in mid-2021 to facilitate the country’s reconciliation process. It first positions the genocide denial ban into the vast category of memory laws by examining its content and scope, as well as the reactions and consequences it has provoked up to now. The article maintains that an internationally imposed memory law cannot create reconciliation in a deeply divided society. It shows, on the contrary, that the imposed legislation has …
