Artifacts In The Co-Production Of Knowledge In Social Design, Eva Knutz, Thomas Markussen Jun 2022

Artifacts In The Co-Production Of Knowledge In Social Design, Eva Knutz, Thomas Markussen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Abstract: Social Design Research is a design and research approach that is charac-terised by an attempt to make a difference for marginalized, underprivileged or vulnerable groups in society through participatory processes and the use of knowledge artifacts. This article demonstrates how knowledge is generated co-productively and shows the interplay between different types of tacit or explicit forms of knowledge and models the knowledge exchange between design re-searchers, practitioners and the participating citizens.

Three Degrees Of Influence In Virtual Workshops: Towards An Understanding Of Co-Creative Facilitation Practice In Technologically Mediated Settings, Ollie Hemstock, Mark Bailey, Nick Spencer, Helen Simmons, Sophie Coombs, Justine Carrion-Weiss, Charles Richardson

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Virtual workshops look here to stay, however much of the recent discourse focuses on methods, tools, techniques and routines in abstraction from practice and practitioner. Collaborations in virtual space are necessarily changed and shaped by their technologically mediated nature. Therefore, it is imperative to enter into reflective dialogue to effectively develop future participatory and co-creative design practice in virtual settings. Several significant phenomena, occurring within virtual workshops, have been identified through focused co-reflection by expert facilitators. Duality is used as a rhetorical device to explore these phenomena as complex elements that are expressions of dynamic and intertwined influences within the …

Co-Design As Healing: A Multi-Level Analysis Based On A Project With People Facing Mental Health Problems, Erika Renedo-Illarregi, Katerina Alexiou, Theodore Zamenopoulos

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The present paper explores the notion of co-design as healing by focusing on a project with participants facing mental health problems, who met once a week, guided by open design processes. Reflecting on semi-structured interview data, as well as relevant literature from different disciplines, the paper offers a conceptual framing of how co-design can be considered as a healing practice, at a systems, social and individual level. At a systems level, co-design allows working with complexity, and approaching mental health problems holistically. At a social level, co-design empowers collectives to negotiate what realities to change and how. At an individual …

Systematic Review Of Community-Led Initiatives Fighting The Opioid Crisis And Opportunities For Design, Sebastian Ramirez-Loaiza, Claudia Rebola

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The opioid epidemic has been declared a health emergency in the US. This crisis has been addressed from multiple perspectives and by different stakeholders, like communities that have participated in self-organizing and mobilizing to fight back the crisis from a bottom-up approach. Community-led initiatives have been fundamental in tackling the opioid epidemic with education, service linkage, and distributing Naloxone, an overdose-reversing medicine. They are also the perfect space for social innovation because they can strengthen social relationships, however, little has been written about the role of Design in these organizations. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a systematic …

Ideasquares: Utilizing Generative Text As A Source Of Design Inspiration, Gyeongwon Yun, Kwangmin Cho, Yunwoo Jeong, Tek-Jin Nam

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Online searching tools are used for early design ideation. However, they tend to limit designers’ creativity due to direct visual feedback and lack of novelty. We pre-sent IdeaSquares, a design concept text generation tool for supporting the ideation process. We used text-generation artificial intelligence (AI) that was fine-tuned on the Red Dot design award winners’ data to show newly generated design examples as search results. To understand how young designers use concept text generation tool for the design ideation, we conducted a comparative user study where partici-pants used two versions, generative querying and conventional searching mode, of the tools during …

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of video conferencing, making it a prominent space that our work and social lives are lived within. For many this transition to virtual co-presence has been joyless, highlighting the shortcomings of mainstream video conferencing. In contrast the video gaming community had already pleasurably adopted and occupied online shared spaces for decades prior to the pandemic. In this paper we discuss the designed affordances of the video conferencing platform Gather Town, which adapts some of the conventions of video games and implements them to better support video conferencing. In this research we consider whether gaming …

Mediating The Needs Of Human And Natural Nonhuman Stakeholders: Towards A Design Methodological Framework, Emilija Veselova, Idil Gaziulusoy, Julia Lohmann Jun 2022

Mediating The Needs Of Human And Natural Nonhuman Stakeholders: Towards A Design Methodological Framework, Emilija Veselova, Idil Gaziulusoy, Julia Lohmann

DRS Biennial Conference Series

More-than-human approaches to design are one of the ways in which the design community is rethinking itself in the face of sustainability challenges. These approaches most often decenter humans from being the sole focus, stakeholder, or actant in design processes. However, currently, there is a shortage of more-than-human methods and tools that would be applicable in day-to-day design practice. In this paper, we, as one of the academic partners in a transdisciplinary consortium project, report results from our preliminary work and early insights towards developing a design methodological framework that would support the mediation of human and nonhuman needs in …

Museum And Exhibit Design: How Forms And Places Of Knowledge Exchange Influence Community Participation And Empowerment, Sophie Nakashima, Chiara Del Gaudio Jun 2022

Museum And Exhibit Design: How Forms And Places Of Knowledge Exchange Influence Community Participation And Empowerment, Sophie Nakashima, Chiara Del Gaudio

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Museums have been criticized for sharing a singular narrative that does not reflect the diverse beliefs and values of their communities. Participatory design has been recognized as an approach capable of processes that allow communities to contribute to designing museums and exhibits. However, as the participatory design processes change according to the specific situation, they can lead to a wide range of outcomes, and degrees of community participation. This paper explores how a specific element of the participatory design approach, knowledge exchange, influences the degree of community participation. Three examples of participatory design processes in museum and exhibit design are …

The Power In Maps: Reviewing A ‘Youth Violence’ Systems Map As Discursive Intervention, Jocelyn Bailey, Lorraine Gamman Jun 2022

The Power In Maps: Reviewing A ‘Youth Violence’ Systems Map As Discursive Intervention, Jocelyn Bailey, Lorraine Gamman

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper offers a reflection on a systems mapping experiment undertaken as part of the Redesign Youth Futures project, which aimed to visualise the complex system producing youth violence in London. The paper brings together key ideas in the practice of systems thinking and mapping, with contributions from the literature on design and power, to theorise the map as an intervention in a discourse – in this case, the popular and policy discourse around youth violence. In doing so, it offers an account of how power is operant in and through such an artefact: in the embodiment of (and resistance …

Constant Problem And Solution Space Investigation Method In A User Study Phase: Focusing On Early Elderly's Needs And Design Solutions Identification, Yedam Ryu, Kwanmyung Kim

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The design thinking process also known as the problem-solving process has a unique cognitive process compared with other areas, such as natural science. During the de-sign process, the problem and solution areas are created in the designer's mind and evolve simultaneously until the process is completed. This co-evolution also occurs at the stage of a user study that is considered the stage of discovering the problem in the typical design process, such as the Double Diamond Model. However, the solution de-rived in discovering the problem stage is ignored or does not develop enough. This re-search suggests the method that can …

Social Commoning As A Way To Transition Towards Alternative Systems By Design, Julia Schaeper, Sumit Kothari, Gillian Hamilton Jun 2022

Social Commoning As A Way To Transition Towards Alternative Systems By Design, Julia Schaeper, Sumit Kothari, Gillian Hamilton

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Increased interest in systemic design approaches and their impact on climate and societal crises make revisiting the theories of the commons and their applicability to system transitions a timely endeavour. By examining a case study of a marine protected area in the South African ocean, the paper explores how a commoning practice could be applied more intentionally in system design to increase cooperation amongst system actors and apply a multispecies - as opposed to human-centred - perspective to the management of natural, social, and immaterial resources. By tracing the historical understandings of the commons, the study explores how Ostrom’s design …

“What A Designer Does In A Municipality?” Different Approaches Towards Design In Three Danish Municipalities, Justyna Starostka, Amalia De Götzen Jun 2022

“What A Designer Does In A Municipality?” Different Approaches Towards Design In Three Danish Municipalities, Justyna Starostka, Amalia De Götzen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In recent years, design in the public sector has gained popularity amongst policymakers as well as among scholars. Design is perceived as a promising way to create more successful policies and public services. Out of many different approaches, design thinking (DT) has become significantly popular, as it promises to deal with wicked problems in a new way. Despite growing popularity, however, a critical reflection on benefits and challenges, as well as about different understandings of DT practices in public sector, are still lacking. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate different ways public organisations engage and introduce DT. In this paper …

Design Beyond The Human World Of Management And Organizations: Towards A Cosmology For The Anthropocene, Emmanuel Bonnet, Diego Landivar, Alexandre Monnin, Ulises Navarro Aguiar Jun 2022

Design Beyond The Human World Of Management And Organizations: Towards A Cosmology For The Anthropocene, Emmanuel Bonnet, Diego Landivar, Alexandre Monnin, Ulises Navarro Aguiar

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In this paper, we intend to make explicit the shared ontological foundation of design and management and question them in light of the advent of the Anthropocene. To do so, we first draw these disciplines closer before qualifying their common ground as an underlying “cosmology they share”. This cosmology is characterized by the centrality of the notion of organization. We argue that design as well as design knowledge must be assessed with regards to this peculiar cosmology. We call for the need to go beyond what we call the “monism of organizations” or the “organized world”. We propose a new …

Making Dinner In An Uncomfortable Future: Comparing Provocations As User Insight Elicitation Methods, Karin Nilsson, Sara Renström, Helena Strömberg, Sofie Groth Jun 2022

Making Dinner In An Uncomfortable Future: Comparing Provocations As User Insight Elicitation Methods, Karin Nilsson, Sara Renström, Helena Strömberg, Sofie Groth

DRS Biennial Conference Series

To aid the transition to a renewable energy future, user-centred designers need to design for a future with limits perceived as uncomfortable to users. This paper explores whether methods borrowed from critical and speculative design can elicit actionable insights to aid such designers. A comparative analysis is performed of the insights gained from two studies, using a provotype and speculative enactment respectively to situate the participants in a speculative, uncomfortable, distant future. The two methods do allow elicitation of rich and deep insights surrounding values, latent needs, and tacit knowledge, but with slightly different emphasis regarding content, temporal scope, and …

Coming To Terms With Design Wickedness: Reflections From A Forum Theatre On Design Thinking, Carmem Saito, Bibiana Oliveira Serpa, Rafaela Angelon, Frederick Van Amstel Jun 2022

Coming To Terms With Design Wickedness: Reflections From A Forum Theatre On Design Thinking, Carmem Saito, Bibiana Oliveira Serpa, Rafaela Angelon, Frederick Van Amstel

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Contemporary design thinking is often described as a designerly approach to dealing with wicked problems – problems that are too complex and deemed impossible to fix, but that can be tamed and solved with proper design methods. Wickedness is a fundamental justification for designing things as a leap of faith or even as a kind of magic. This practice-based design research questions this justification while also opening up new understandings of wickedness. By creating a Forum Theatre session with characters inspired by the musical Wicked as allegories for different design agents/subjects in an online event, the authors engaged design spectators …

Connecting Creative Product Design Processes To Creative Product Design Outcomes: A Scoping Review, Peiying Jian, Jin Gu, Alison Olechowski Jun 2022

Connecting Creative Product Design Processes To Creative Product Design Outcomes: A Scoping Review, Peiying Jian, Jin Gu, Alison Olechowski

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Generating repeatable guidelines for designing creative products has long been an aim of the design research community. Even so, a widely trusted or agreed-upon process has not yet emerged. As a first step toward this goal, it is important to take stock of the reported connections between creative design processes and creative design outcomes. Thus, we conducted a scoping review focusing on creative prod-uct design. Our search identified 130 papers published from 1969 to 2021. The most frequent study type was a proposal paper (n = 53). Twenty-seven of the included papers used experimental methods. When connecting the creative design …

Project Proximities: A Meta Review Of How Design Addresses Distance In Complex Collaborations, Rosie Hornbuckle Jun 2022

Project Proximities: A Meta Review Of How Design Addresses Distance In Complex Collaborations, Rosie Hornbuckle

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Complex collaborations involving multiple disciplines and stakeholders are seen as necessary in the pursuit of transformative innovation. Yet these ‘systemic’ science & technology-led projects pose a challenge for knowledge exchange, co-creation and co-operation. Design research teams brought in, often to work on tangible outcomes, are faced with chasms between the understanding of diverse actors. From this problematization of distances in complex collaboration, a new design research practice has emerged: 'translational design practice' (Page & John 2019). This paper builds on this concept through a ‘meta’ level review of the design research approaches in three European publicly-funded consortium projects to address …

The Junk Playground As Agora: Designing Spaces To Re-Invigorate Democratic Participation, Mathias Poulsen Jun 2022

The Junk Playground As Agora: Designing Spaces To Re-Invigorate Democratic Participation, Mathias Poulsen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In this paper, I suggest that there is an urgent need to design new spaces and possibilities for democratic participation. With inspiration from the tradition of “adventure playgrounds”, I argue that play design can contribute to expanding the participatory repertoire within deliberative democracy. Two design experi-ments are presented and discussed through the prism of self-determination the-ory and the findings point to a new understanding of democratic participation and the intrinsic, civic motivation that drives it. By shifting focus from the classi-cal deliberative ideals of rational discourse towards sensorial, open-ended explo-ration and creation, new democratic possibilities emerge. It is argued that …

What If Data Protection Embraced Foresight And Speculative Design?, Arianna Rossi, Régis Chatellier, Stefano Leucci, Rossana Ducato, Estelle Hary

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Due to rapid technological advancements and the growing “datafication” of our societies, individuals’ privacy constitutes an increasingly explored speculative space for regulators, researchers, practitioners, designers and artists. This article reports two experiences at a national and an international data protection authority (i.e., the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés - CNIL - and the European Data Protection Supervisor - EDPS - respectively), where foresight methods and speculative design are employed in policy-making with the goal of anticipating technological trends, their implications for society and their impact on regulations, as well as the effects of existing and upcoming laws on …

The Evolution Of Inclusive Design: A First Timeline Review Of Narratives And Milestones Of Design For Disability, Luka Kille-Speckter, Farnaz Nickpour

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper sets out to critically review the history of Inclusive Design on two distinct levels, i.e. the narratives that shape it and the historical milestones which contribute to its evolution. Through an illustrative review of literature and object ethnography, two sets of timelines are outlined. First, a milestone timeline helps establish the chronological evolution of Inclusive Design based on historical milestones and sociocultural perspectives. Second, a narrative timeline helps uncover the underlying narratives around matters of disability, design and inclusivity, and how they evolved. Though identifying historical and emerging shifts in mentality, the timeline review of narratives and milestones …

Designing Proximity With Situated Stakeholders, Davide Fassi, Francesco Vergani

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Neighborhoods are becoming laboratories to test new ways to design the cities to solve social, environmental and cultural issues affecting global cities. The car-centered urban planning experienced in the 20th century has fostered researchers and practitioners to explore more the theme of livability and proximity. To trigger the blossoming of these models, a participatory process involving proactive networks of situated stakeholders is needed. This paper shows how competences from the academic realm can effectively boost civic awareness on the role that situated stakeholders have in producing solutions for their own wellbeing. It highlights a process enacted by the XX Lab …

Designing Appropriate Things: An Experiential Perspective On The Effectiveness Of Artefacts In Contributing To Behaviour Change, Thomas Van Arkel, Nynke Tromp Jun 2022

Designing Appropriate Things: An Experiential Perspective On The Effectiveness Of Artefacts In Contributing To Behaviour Change, Thomas Van Arkel, Nynke Tromp

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Behavioural design is an emergent discipline that aims to harness design’s influence on behaviour in an intentional way. However, there is limited knowledge on how to translate knowledge on behaviour and its determinants to specific design properties in ways that can maintain such change. We adopt a user experiential view to discuss the role that artefacts and their materiality play in effectively changing behaviour by introducing the notion of appropriateness, a quality of user-artefact interaction that describes the fitness of an artefact to the user and context that may play a moderating role in effectiveness of a design intervention in …
