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 …

Revisiting The Uncanny Valley Effect: A Data-Driven Analysis With Curve Fitting Perspective, Xiner Li, Yi Xiao, Yan Zheng, Jinhao Qiao, Chi-Sing Leung Jun 2024

Revisiting The Uncanny Valley Effect: A Data-Driven Analysis With Curve Fitting Perspective, Xiner Li, Yi Xiao, Yan Zheng, Jinhao Qiao, Chi-Sing Leung

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The Uncanny Valley (UV) is a vital part of design research because it directly affects users' emotional responses and acceptance of anthropomorphic technical products. Traditional research relies on curve fitting to measure UV effects. However, these works often overlook the impact of data quality including scale and distribution on the accuracy and stability of fitting results. This study places a strong emphasis on the mediating role of data in UV, revisiting UV using a dataset comprising 1,000 static facial images of humanoid entities, evenly spanning the entire human likeness spectrum. The results reveal a different UV shape than Mori's original …

Expanding Participatory Design: Reflections On Current Epistemological Framework In Dark Time, Zi Yang, Kin Wai Michael Siu, Xinzhe Zhao Jun 2024

Expanding Participatory Design: Reflections On Current Epistemological Framework In Dark Time, Zi Yang, Kin Wai Michael Siu, Xinzhe Zhao

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Participatory design is a quintessential representation of human-centeredness. The recent climate crisis and threats to survival have pushed designers to consider the well-being of non-human entities. Many designers have already attempted to incorporate non-human entities (including animals, forests, and rivers) into the design process. They have strived to refine and readjust design thinking and practice within the participatory design framework. However, most practices resemble the 'pseudo-participation' of human subjective imagination. This study raises ethical and ontological epistemological issues based on Latour's profound philosophical insights. Specifically, in the case of non-human entities participating in our future becoming, how will the role …

Designing With More-Than-Human Temporalities, Riel Bessai, Roy Bendor, Ruud Balkenende Jun 2024

Designing With More-Than-Human Temporalities, Riel Bessai, Roy Bendor, Ruud Balkenende

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Time is a crucial element in design, and even more so when it comes to designing for sustainability. Many designers approach sustainability from a problem-solving perspective, according to which time is linear (and therefore quantifiable) and the future is predictable (and therefore designable). Designerly time appears quintessentially modern and human. A welcome antidote can be found in more-than-human design perspectives, where a multitude of actants and agencies and their appropriate temporalities are given consideration and space. In this paper we add to such approaches by suggesting two ways to engage with more-than-human temporalities: noticing and care. We illustrate how these …

Contours In Blurred Design Spaces: More-Than-Human Participation Of Artifacts In Design-In-Use, Evert Van Beek Jun 2024

Contours In Blurred Design Spaces: More-Than-Human Participation Of Artifacts In Design-In-Use, Evert Van Beek

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Contemporary design practice requires a more-than-human orientation to deal with computational artifacts. In this paper I discuss how the participation of artifacts in design activities during use time blurs categories of design, use and artifact. I use the analytical concept of design space, informed by a framework of co-performance to highlight some contours in this blurred situation. To do so I adopt a critical design approach, and present three conceptual smart thermostats based on the concepts of framing, tinkering and scripts. This contributes to awareness and discussions of design-in-use and the role of artifacts in an increasingly automated and connected …

Algorithmic Lace: Leveraging Mathematics In Design For Craft Resistance, Lisa Marks Jun 2024

Algorithmic Lace: Leveraging Mathematics In Design For Craft Resistance, Lisa Marks

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The mathematics of craft have created rich and diverse material cultures. Through craft, humans have shared a common language of patterns, proportions, and expressions inspired by the complexity of the natural world. We pass this knowledge on through generations, each time making things more complex and techniques more robust. This passing on of generational knowledge is one of the things that creates our individual cultural identities, however many crafts across the world are in decline. By analyzing the structure of crafts computationally, we can create a hybrid approach that lays a foundation for use in the 21st century. This paper …

Bridging The Gap: Data-Driven Design For Smart Cities, Raquel Corrêa Cordeiro, Manuela Rupp Quaresma

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The concept of smart cities encompasses not just technological advancement but also citizen well-being and sustainability. However, the increasing data availability often leads to a technology-centric focus, neglecting integration with citizen participation. The design could bridge this gap by facilitating data translation and accessibility. Therefore, this study aimed to test a process for co-analyzing mixed data through collaborative activities and data visualization tools, immersing participants in the impact of weather on urban mobility. The data sources included quantitative data from the transport providers, social networks, and qualitative data from a diary study. The process revealed significant potential, with participants reporting …

Adopting A Hospitality Lens For Designing Mental Healthcare At Home, Jeanne Sintic, Josina Vink, Mari Skoge, Kristin Lie Romm Jun 2024

Adopting A Hospitality Lens For Designing Mental Healthcare At Home, Jeanne Sintic, Josina Vink, Mari Skoge, Kristin Lie Romm

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Increasingly, there is a shift toward bringing services that were originally provided in hospitals into the home. Healthcare designers have been supporting this movement by designing medical devices and home care services. However, there is a risk that such shifts simply medicalize the home and erode the valuable informal practices of care that already occur there. Using a research through design approach, we adopted a hospitality lens to understand the rituals of hosting at home and identify potential areas of hostility as mental health consultations enter the home in Norway. This research demonstrates the value of adopting a hospitality lens …

The Co-Design Participatory Power Pyramid, Euan Winton, Paul Rodgers Jun 2024

The Co-Design Participatory Power Pyramid, Euan Winton, Paul Rodgers

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper presents an innovative co-design participatory power pyramid, which foregrounds how people living with dementia (PLWD) are (and can be) involved in co-design projects. The pyramid provides a scale of participant involvement in co-design activities based on the premise that design is a process that encom-passes a series of interlinked activities, actions, and thinking that, when com-bined, result in a designed outcome. The co-design participatory power pyramid has been created to define and better understand the spectrum of co-design projects when working with PLWD. However, it is anticipated that the frame-work will be applicable to other co-design research practices. …

What Does Design Research Do?, Paul A. Rodgers

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper examines the aims, approaches, and impact of a selection of 62 con-temporary design research projects in the UK. Whilst there is general acknowl-edgement that design research can contribute to the social, cultural, environ-mental and economic fabric of a nation, there is little evidence (to date) that ar-ticulates clearly the specific impact(s) of design research. This work, conducted over a four-year period (2017 to 2021), involved working with over 2,000 design researchers. Building, maintaining, and articulating impact is vitally important in the current research funding climate in the UK where there are significant pres-sures for governments and organisations to …

Towards Empowering Cohousing Communities: Finding Balance With A Group Of Users-Clients Throughout The Architectural Process, Audrey Mertens, Louise Coniasse, Catherine Elsen Jun 2024

Towards Empowering Cohousing Communities: Finding Balance With A Group Of Users-Clients Throughout The Architectural Process, Audrey Mertens, Louise Coniasse, Catherine Elsen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper explores the evolving role of architects in cohousing projects in response to environmental, economic, and social challenges. This research incorporates insights from semi-structured interviews in three Belgian case studies. The foundations and values of cohousing communities are tackled, highlighting shifts in architects' roles and challenges in working with groups of user-clients. In these cohousing processes, we found that the representatives of these user-client groups may not always share the full breadth of their negotiations with architects. Architects seem to miss out on some of the nuances, and some participants found that this approach left their voices unheard. Amidst …

Is Design Delightful? An Examination Of Design Students' Emotions When Designing, Hazar Taissier Marji, Paul A. Rodgers, Ross Brisco Jun 2024

Is Design Delightful? An Examination Of Design Students' Emotions When Designing, Hazar Taissier Marji, Paul A. Rodgers, Ross Brisco

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This research examines the emotional experiences of design students as they progress through a design project. The study presents how different emotions manifest themselves in the students' design processes, offering insights into whether the students' design experience is ‘pleasurable’ or otherwise, and beyond this, the spectrum of emotions that design students experience overall. Findings reveal a common positive emotional experience amongst students despite their very different backgrounds and cultures. The initial results show that positive emotions can be generated by the design project topic, which in turn has an important impact on the design process and the student’s performance. The …

Co-Diagnosed: A Multi-Disciplinary Workshop Reimagining Cultures Of Care For Medical And Mental Health, Valerie Greer, Emily Johnson, Virginia Pankey, Jack Burton

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper focuses on places of healing for co-diagnosed patients who suffer from both mental and medical illnesses. Comorbidity is recognized as a growing concern yet there is little prece-dent in the healthcare industry for designing spaces that respond to needs of patients who re-quire hospitalization for medical conditions, and who simultaneously suffer mental health disor-ders. To explore this problem, we created a workshop to engage healthcare providers, adminis-trators and healthcare architects with undergraduate and graduate students in art, architecture, visual communications and urban design. Our goal was to identify issues that must be ad-dressed through the lens of patients …

Enabling Regenerative Transitions: What Can Design Offer?, Michelle Alina Miller, Alexander Baumber Jun 2024

Enabling Regenerative Transitions: What Can Design Offer?, Michelle Alina Miller, Alexander Baumber

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Transition design first emerged as a provocation to designers to apply design theory and practice to enable societal transitions, including transitions toward sustainability. This raises questions around the roles that transition design can play in sustainability transitions and the specific capabilities that designers can draw on. This paper seeks to answer these questions via a transition design case study project in agricultural sustainability. Specifically, the project focuses on the growing interest in regenerative agriculture in New South Wales, Australia from 2017 through 2023. Within the case study, the researcher as designer-practitioner works as a change agent, taking part in collaborative …

A Designer’S Lexicon: An Ethnographic Exploration Of Language In Design Practice, Madison Sabatelli

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Although a visual language often takes precedence as the main communicator in design, text can act as a fundamental medium of developing ideas. Writing not only has similar capabilities as sketching in order to externalize concepts, but also when developing cognitive thinking and communicate with others. Using instructional, social and reflective lenses, this ethnographic study catalogues and analyzes examples of written language present across several design studios at The Ohio State University. Artifacts presented include writing prompted by design instructors, written interactions between peers and student self-awareness delivered through reflective writing. Acting as a purveyor of language, writing serves a …

Exploring The 'Defining-Finding Dilemma' In Design Research: Insights From A Series Of Speculative Co-Design Workshops, Mayane Dore, Joseph Lindley, David Green, Jesse Benjamin

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper shares the results of a series of speculative co-design workshops that employed sketches and visual metaphors to facilitate collective discussions about a hypothetical Design Research database. The primary objective of these workshops was to explore the challenges related to documenting, sharing, searching, and discovering Design Research examples while simultaneously addressing underlying questions surrounding knowledge-making in the field. Following this approach, we identify six distinctive qualities that characterize Design Research, shedding light on what is referred to as the defining-finding dilemma. The paper finally suggests potential pathways for interaction design to navigate this issue through alternative modes of interaction.

Navigating Complexity: Design Facilitation For Collaborative Solutions To Urban Challenges, Justyna Starostka, Rike Neuhoff, Nicola Morelli, Luca Simeone

DRS Biennial Conference Series

As urban policy and governance challenges become increasingly complex, inter-disciplinary approaches and participatory methodologies are essential. The evolv-ing role of design affects the way it is practiced in these contexts. Instead of sole-ly providing solutions, designers are now expected to connect, navigate, and fa-cilitate collaboration between stakeholders from different public sector organi-zations. This paper aims to explore how multi-organizational design facilitation can contribute to addressing complex urban challenges, fostering and accelerat-ing adoption of sustainable solutions. We delve into three concepts that under-pin the creative facilitation process: the design mindset, futures thinking and ex-perimental attitude. The context of this study is …

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Products imbued with traditional cultural semantic information hold significance in commerce, culture, and the dissemination of information. However, the integration of implicit cultural semantics into the design process of cultural products poses a significant challenge. Key issues include the inaccurate expression of implicit semantics and the inadequacy of semantic information retrieval and inspi-ration. Therefore, we adopt a datadriven approach to achieve symbolic semantic expression in generating and inspiring design concepts for cultural products. In this paper, we utilize the generative pretrained transformer (GPT-3.5) as the base language model (PLM). By analyzing semantic information features in layers and mapping, we identify …

Establishing An Experience Design Management Framework Through A Literature Review, Yu-Hui Lu, Shin-Yu Tsai, Shu-Yi Chen, Hsien-Hui Tang

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Since Pine & Gilmore (1999) introduced the concept of Experience Economy two decades ago, both academic and practical worlds have embraced the idea, with various frameworks and applications built and evolved around related concepts, design, and management. However, the concept of managing artifacts, which directly impact experiences, has received limited development. Through a literature review approach, this study defines experience design management as "the management of artifacts that can influence the perceived customer experience, to achieve business strategic objectives, balancing the resource capabilities of service providers with the value propositions of service recipients." Besides, this study summarizes the framework, processes, …

Co-Design For Change: Propositions And Dilemmas, Geertje Slingerland, Gubing Wang

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Co-design has been widely applied to develop interventions supporting behavior change. While numerous co-design propositions have been developed, applying these in practice often leads to difficulties and tensions. This study aims to review the co-design propositions and understand the dilemmas when applying them. A literature review was conducted, and twelve co-design propositions were identified after qualitative analysis. The study found that some co-design propositions conflict because they align with an idealistic versus a realistic perspective. By studying these conflicts in-depth, seven dilemmas were identified at the intersection of realist and idealist propositions. Implications of the findings on design for behavior …
