A Theory Instrument For Reimagining Embodied Practices, Ayşe Özge Ağça, Jelle Van Dijk, Jacob Buur, Harun Kaygan
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Embodied Sensemaking Theory describes how people make sense in ongoing interactions with the social and material world. It has potential in projects aimed at changing embodied practices. However, designers often find it challenging to use this complex theory. We build on recent research on tangible ‘Theory Instruments’ for designers. We designed a Theory Instrument for embodied sensemaking with design students who design for social interactions and with young people who investigate their energy consumption. Our analysis of 12 experimental sessions shows how Embodied Sensemaking Theory helps reimagine human practices towards more sustainable futures. Our contribution is two-fold: We show that …
Co-Design For Change: Propositions And Dilemmas, Geertje Slingerland, Gubing Wang
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 …

Designers continuously move between analog and digital spaces in order to assess sensory qualities of materials to build comprehensive references when sourcing and selecting them. Material decision making in contemporary design practice is increasingly collaborative. However, traditionally, subjective assessment of textiles has been studied at the individual level, focusing less on group workshops. This paper analyses two workshops where participants assessed sensory properties of textile materials, one individually, and one in groups, to show: 1. the difference of subjective material collection between individuals or groups. 2. improvements to the subjective assessment process, comparing physical and digital tools. 3. validation of …
Intimate Data As Design Material: Designing Tracking Practices For Menstruating Athletes, Alina Wundsam, Alejandra Gomez Ortega, Nazli Cila
Intimate Data As Design Material: Designing Tracking Practices For Menstruating Athletes, Alina Wundsam, Alejandra Gomez Ortega, Nazli Cila
DRS Biennial Conference Series
There is a significant knowledge gap concerning the female body in sports partly due to research in sports physiology narrowly focusing on male athletes. It means hormonal changes around the menstrual cycle have been disregarded from critical considerations and recommendations about training and planning. Similarly, digital tracking technologies, which play an increasingly important role in sports, often overlook the menstrual cycle or invite athletes to reduce a situated and embodied experience into a discrete data point. In this paper, we use intimate data as material to design tracking practices for menstruating athletes. Specifically, we use the principles of Data Feminism …

A Third Place As A Space To Foster Citizen Participation And Their Empowerment: The Case Of “La Ruche À Projets”, Louise Masciarelli, Maxim Lamirande, Isabelle Dalimier, Audrey Mertens, Catherine Elsen, Clémentine Schelings
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This exploratory qualitative research underlines architectural properties of a res-idential house that was repurposed as a temporary creative space. Findings were compared against existing theory on third places (particularly creative spaces) and their relationship with citizen participation, empowerment, and social change. Overall, the “homey” character creates a sense of belonging and occu-pants seem eager to decorate and furnish with personal effects. Findings reveal tensions between large open and smaller closed spaces to reflect on how flow, accessibility, occupancy, and intimacy are affected. Occupant behaviors lead to wonder about the tensions between community, codesign, empowerment, and ownership. Findings help question how …
A Bottom-Up Transformation: Design Empowering Chronic Disease Management Types And Strategies, Renxuan Liu, Duan Wu
A Bottom-Up Transformation: Design Empowering Chronic Disease Management Types And Strategies, Renxuan Liu, Duan Wu
DRS Biennial Conference Series
As the population ages, chronic disease management (CDM) has become a challenge for current public health services. Previously, designing for patients with chronic diseases often saw them as passive objects of design, hindering their agency. Understanding patients' agency is very important for health management, but the empowerment approach in the health field is often a disguised paternalism. This study aims to use the empowerment theory to reframe the possibility of the design empowering CDM and propose corresponding means of empowerment. We identified four types of design empowerment in CDM and articulated specific empowerment strategies through case studies. Our study therefore …

W3c Web Accessibility Initiative Under The Microscope: Identifying Assumptions Of Users And Their Involvement In Digital Accessibility Design, Pia Karasjärvi, Juho-Pekka Mäkipää, Rebekah Rousi
DRS Biennial Conference Series
In addition to the well-known Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, Web Accessibility Initiatives (WAI) also provide additional information and best practices for web practitioners on involving users with disabilities in their projects. Given the central role that the WAI possesses in the case of web accessibility, how they perceive and what they say about user involvement is regarded as significant. This paper examines how users with disabilities are represented, and more importantly, how they are treated in the recommendations. Critical close reading was performed on text produced by WAI regarding user involvement of people with disabilities. We found a reduction in …
The Effect Of Perceived Realism On The Usage Of Pre-Flight Safety Videos, Eunji Kang, Chajoong Kim, James Andrew Self
The Effect Of Perceived Realism On The Usage Of Pre-Flight Safety Videos, Eunji Kang, Chajoong Kim, James Andrew Self
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Prior research and studies on aviation videos suggest that the transition from hand gesture demonstration to entertainment with diverse forms may positively affect the mood but negatively on the retention and recall of the memories. However, the methods used in the studies tend to focus only on individual elements of entertainment such as humor, which prevents the results from measuring the effect of entertainment on a video as a whole. In this study, we propose to evaluate the user experience and effectiveness of airline safety videos according to the perceived realism. Four videos were selected according to the dimensions of …
Empowerment Through Participation? Three Case Studies Of Social Design Projects With Disadvantaged Female Communities In Hungary, Janka Csernák
Empowerment Through Participation? Three Case Studies Of Social Design Projects With Disadvantaged Female Communities In Hungary, Janka Csernák
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Participatory methods are widely used in design, but it’s important to take a critical stance towards how they impact vulnerable communities in the context of today's societal crisis (Juarez et al., 2008). This paper presents recent findings from the comparison of three social design research projects conducted in Hungary, which point towards evidence that empowerment by design can be beneficial for underprivileged women. This notion of empowerment is defined through developing embodied expertise, problem-solving skills, and agency in a design context. In order to understand how design can contribute to building such notions in participants, the author contextualizes the community’s …

Modelling Reflection In Descriptions Of Design Practice Using Linguistic Inquiry, Nupura Kulkarni, Senthil Chandrasegaran, Peter Lloyd
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Reflection plays a vital role in the development of designers, enabling them to evaluate their experiences, enhance their learning, and foster professional growth. This research analyzed reflections of 56 design students, as part of graded coursework, using content and dictionary-based approaches (LIWC). Building on an existing model of reflection with eight components (experience, belief, difficulty, perspective, feeling, learning, intention, and descriptive) we identify, using descriptive statistics, the linguistic features associated with each component and correlate these to grades achieved. We distinguish two types of reflections associated with higher grades: those emphasizing personal experiences that we term holistic narrators, and those …

DRS Biennial Conference Series
Staff well-being and patient safety are undermined by false alarms in the ICU. This study focuses on enhancing the effectiveness of sound-induced actions in the ICU by assessing the distinctness and informativeness of alarm sound events as perceived by nursing staff. We investigated the alarm load in an adult ICU, with an emphasis on alarm durations and their impact on actionability. As a strategy to mitigate false alarms, we simulated the introduction of alarm delays and examined how this affected alarm characteristics across various vital parame-ters. Results demonstrate that the introduction of alarm delays reduce the num-ber of alarms remarkably, …
Playful Prototyping In Speculative Design Practices, Alberto Calleo
Playful Prototyping In Speculative Design Practices, Alberto Calleo
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Prototyping is a fundamental part of the design process. The iterative as-semblage and manipulation of shapes, textures, colors, and volumes generate re-flections not only about formal qualities but also about possible affordances, functionalities, and meanings. Prototypical artifacts emerge from the negotiation between the informed rational thinking coming from research, the mechanical behavior of the material, the human body ergonomics and dexterity, and the serendipitous discoveries happening in the process. Analyzing the creative dy-namics happening during prototyping, it is possible to observe similarities be-tween model-making and play. Such dynamics of reflection in action have the creative potential to foster speculative inquiry. …

Enhancing Traditional Food Experience: A Food Ritual Design Framework, Hangyu Zhou, Min Hua
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Cultural globalisation threatens some traditional foods, as foreign food cultures can make local foods less popular. While food-related rituals play a crucial role in enhancing cultural identity and the overall experience of traditional food, there remains limited research on the successful design of these rituals. This study aims to propose a Food Ritual Design Framework that inspires the design of traditional food. The framework was applied in a case study on Sugar Painting, and its applicability and effectiveness were evaluated through a questionnaire survey (n = 133). The survey revealed the successful integration of 47 diverse traditional foods into the …

Transitional Object As Empowerment Tool: Workshops For Latina Women To Persevere In Higher Education, Angelica Sibrian
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Thackara’s efforts to create spaces focused on wellbeing, and less on products, were invoked in this research. However, rather than simply abandoning the object, this work reassigns meaning to these objects—using them as empowerment tools—designed to become extensions of the body, thoughts, and experiences. This case study details the development and implementation of workshops designed to empower young Latina women persevere in higher education. The workshops brought awareness to structural barriers, coaching in self-reflective techniques, and the co-creation of transitional totemic (symbolic) objects that serve as aides-mémoires of the event. This paper highlights the workshops in three points: a) a …
An Integrated Theoretical Framework For Reflective Teaching In Chinese Design Education And Abroad, Danqing Meng, Wenjing Dong, Linlin Yang, Fei Fan
An Integrated Theoretical Framework For Reflective Teaching In Chinese Design Education And Abroad, Danqing Meng, Wenjing Dong, Linlin Yang, Fei Fan
DRS Biennial Conference Series
As Chinese higher education adapts to the changing landscape, heavily influenced by Western paradigms, design education also undergoes significant transformation. To enhance design teaching quality, teachers should employ innovative approaches; however, existing research lacks focus on reflective teaching techniques. This study, employing surveys and in-depth interviews with design teachers, unveils several key insights: confusion often arises between "reflective teaching" and "teaching reflection"; there's a prevalent focus on static content, neglecting dynamic teaching processes; pre- and post-lesson reflection is favored over in-action reflection; teaching methodologies are subject to various influences; teachers must acknowledge the inherent value of reflective teaching. Subsequently, drawing …

In this report we present the results from the co-design processes under develop-ment in Oeiras and Lisbon – two coastal territories …
A Llm-Augmented Morphological Analysis Approach For Conceptual Design, Liuqing Chen, Yiyan Tsang, Qianzhi Jing, Lingyun Sun
A Llm-Augmented Morphological Analysis Approach For Conceptual Design, Liuqing Chen, Yiyan Tsang, Qianzhi Jing, Lingyun Sun
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Morphological analysis is often used in the conceptual design process because it provides a structured and systematic approach to decompose design problems, improving the completeness and diversity of creative solutions. However, it still relies heavily on designers' professional knowledge and experience when decomposing design problems and proposing solutions, which is a challenge for designers. In this study, we propose an LLMs-augmented morphological analysis approach for conceptual design. We refine the design process as three main stages: decomposition, generation, and combination, offering targeted guidance and support to designers when applying morphological analysis. In addition, we introduced a feedback mechanism to develop …

DRS Biennial Conference Series
Patient-centeredness is advocated as a key ethical factor when designing healthcare artifacts, practices, and systems. Centeredness is constructed within particular cultural contexts and co-produced through performance by various actors within the encompassing system. In this paper, we seek to identify “patient-centeredness” by comparing two different ecosystems, the US and Italy, by systematically mapping cases and projects that claim to have been designed through a patient-centered approach. By systematically mapping the projects and their network of stakeholders, we developed a set of ecosystem categorizations that allowed for comparison between locations, distilling patient-centered values, projects, actors and organizations that seem to be …
Changing The Negative Narrative Of Aging: A Case Study On Sexual Wellness Services For Women In Later Life, Camilla Borghi, Daniela Selloni
Changing The Negative Narrative Of Aging: A Case Study On Sexual Wellness Services For Women In Later Life, Camilla Borghi, Daniela Selloni
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The global longevity trend requires a paradigm shift in the design of services related to later life. Traditionally centered on the negative narrative of aging, service interventions have targeted sectoral domains such as assistance and healthcare. Instead, a silver society demands services for the mainstream market, addressing the desires of individuals who lead fulfilling lives at all ages. This paper examines a case study investigating sexual wellness in women's later life. Service design elevates this marginalized topic in active aging discussions to a common concern in a cultural service as output. The methodology combines ethnographic research and participatory design: it …

Expertise Profiling In Design Schools: A Theoretical Framework, Ehsan Baha, Tomás Dorta, Philippe Gauthier
Expertise Profiling In Design Schools: A Theoretical Framework, Ehsan Baha, Tomás Dorta, Philippe Gauthier
DRS Biennial Conference Series
A renewed interest, propelled by the European Bauhaus initiative, has sparked a re-evaluation of design education in response to the growing complexity and interdisciplinary demands of design, encompassing both craftsmanship and academic discipline. While ongoing discussions focus on school types, curriculum development, and pedagogical approaches, there is an oversight in examining the expertise profiles of design educators. These profiles encapsulate the competencies and proficiencies of teaching staff, profoundly influencing the ethos, objectives, philosophy, and substance of education institutions. This paper proposes a theoretical framework delineating three archetypal expertise profiles for design educators: design practitioner, design researcher, and hybrid, nuanced to …
