Are Service Designers Positioned To Design For Sustainability?, Kendon Jung, Mauricio Mejía Oct 2023

Are Service Designers Positioned To Design For Sustainability?, Kendon Jung, Mauricio Mejía

IASDR Conference Series

We have designed systems that influence the daily choices of 8 billion people and have brought our world to the brink of collapse as a result. In this context, designers, in general, have been concerned with sustainability for a long time. While the field has acknowledged that not only product design but also services and systems are spaces to address sustainability, much of the literature has centered on creating methods and tools. This work could be limited in preparing designers for action because prescriptive guides are rarely easy to implement in designing activities. Leveraging design to intentionally shift a linear …

Responsible Tourism Experiences: Designing Solutions To Improve Communities-Based Tourism Services From Global To Local Scale., Valentina Facoetti

IASDR Conference Series

In recent decades the tourism sector has undergone multiple evolutions, due to its dynamic and complex nature. While globalised mass tourism characterised the demand for tourism in the 20th century, in the new millennium this demand is significantly stronger and diversified, induced also by the emergence of new information technologies, greater ease of travel and the increase in the supply of affordable accommodation (Gainsforth, 2020). Despite the positive impact on economic development, increased tourism consumption has led to the exploitation of natural and local resources causing damage to the environment and host communities (Fragidis et. al, 2022). The COVID-19 pandemic …

Fictional Brand Design. Evolution, Strategies, And An Attempt To A History Of Visual Identities In Audiovisual Narratives., Francesco E. Guida, Lorenzo Bernini

IASDR Conference Series

Brands tell stories to affirm their values, positioning, and identity. They tell stories that allow people to recognise themselves in them, to share them, to feel part of them. That occurs in the real world as in the world of fiction. The term fictional branding refers to the design and use of brands that do not refer to any existing service, product, company or organisation. They can include any brand referring to products or commercial services, political institutions, military organisations, and more. This paper aims to offer a comprehensive look at the topic through historical and theoretical research and analyse …

Shifting Identities: New Materialities Of Power And Control, Joaquin Santuber, Pablo Hermansen Oct 2023

Shifting Identities: New Materialities Of Power And Control, Joaquin Santuber, Pablo Hermansen

IASDR Conference Series

Identities, as the materialities that produce them, are changing with the translation of analogue methods of individualization into digital ones. In 2020, with the mobility restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, private and public services moved online performing new forms of identities. From in-person interactions, we —users— were reduced to pixels and data objects which constituted our digital identities: a username, a password, and a profile picture. In Shifting identities, we analyse these changes in an iconic context in the history of identities: a court of justice. Traditionally, a courtroom was a space to perform the authority of the State—a …

Understanding The Relationship Between In-Car Agent’S Embodiments And Information With Different Criticality, Bonhee Ku, Hyungjun Cho, Tek-Jin Nam

IASDR Conference Series

As the infotainment system in cars has advanced, drivers now receive a wide range of information from agents while driving. However, despite the diversity of roles and types of information, the embodiment of the agent delivering the information remains unified. Therefore, we sought to understand the needs for different types of information and their correlation with an embodiment. To achieve this, we created four embodiment prototypes within a car model ‘Sound without Visual Embodiment’, ‘Sound and (Abstract) Graphic Embodiment’, ‘Sound and (Characterized) Graphic Embodiment’, ‘Sound and (Characterized) Graphic and (Characterized) Physical Embodiment’ and conducted a user experience evaluation with 12 …

Glitch Pluriverse, Ayushi Jain, Vaidehi Supatkar, Ying Tang, Mohammad Sial

IASDR Conference Series

Designer's position and authority have long been challenged. However, “Design” has only recently stated responsibility for its direct impact on social structures (Escobar, 2017; Fry, 1999; Maze, 2019). Among many new “Designs”, there is an emerging decolonizing design movement in which members pursue ontological change rather than additive diversifying measures that would only uphold and sustain colonial institutions and systems. This paper focuses on design critiques related to Design’s ability to perpetuate coloniality. Starting from our lived experiences, we expand on how Design alienates different worldviews by promoting, appropriating, and erasing the subaltern population. Following that, we present our methodological …

The Full And The Empty. A Dialogue Between Chinese Painting And Design, Estelle Berger, Dominique Christian Oct 2023

The Full And The Empty. A Dialogue Between Chinese Painting And Design, Estelle Berger, Dominique Christian

IASDR Conference Series

This pictorial paper stages the generative dialogue between a designer-researcher-teacher and a philosopher-teacher-painter in the Chinese tradition. Through cultural decentring and exchange of perspectives, we aim at questioning designers’ posture. More specifically, the polarities of “empty” and “full” are used to discuss the sense of authorship, and the balance between engagement and letting go in practice. The paintings that punctuate the text are neither used as simple illustrations nor as achievements, they constitute another type of narrative thread in our dialogue, that we hope will trigger readers’ sensitivity, reflection, and action.

Towards A Design Toolkit For Exploring And Specifying Close-Proximity Human-Robot Collaboration As Leader And Follower: The Case Of Collaborative Drawing, Yi Zhao, Lian Loke, Dagmar Reinhardt

IASDR Conference Series

Close-proximity human-robot collaboration (HRC) refers to scenarios where humans and robots work together for the same aim at the same time and space without safety fence. Few design tools currently exist to assist designers to think through how to design human-robot interactions, with a focus on turn-taking, coordination, and flow of intention. We present a design toolkit for designers to explore, specify, analyse and document the unfolding interaction between human(s) and robot(s) through a model of interaction where the roles of leader and follower shape the forms of collaborative behaviour. We illustrate our design toolkit in action and demonstrate how …
