Engaged Sustainable Design: Creating Moral Agency, Louise St. Pierre

Nordes Conference Series

This paper integrates my journeys into the wilderness of northern British Columbia and the Alberta Prairies with my reflections on the relationship of sustainable design theories with an ethical practice of sustainable design. Drawing on deep ecology, Buddhism, and animism, I contend that the drive within research to connect natural systems theories to design practice is inherently instrumental and eludes the truths of the natural world. Within the domain of sustainable design, this instrumentalism reinforces an anthropocentric worldview that, as humans, we are separate from and more important than the unboundaried ecology of animals, plants, minerals and elementals (earth, water, …

Design Thinking And Business Innovation Strategy In Creative Smes: A Comparative Study Between The Uk And Thailand, Akapan Thienthaworn

Nordes Conference Series

The integration of design thinking into strategic management leading to design business success is an emerging debate within design research. Design thinking is crucial to the creative economy but its implementation is prone to unpredictable changes, particularly in an organisation's external or internal environments. This can have a measurable effect upon the performance of small and medium sized design businesses (SME’s). Whilst research into design thinking into SMEs design business environments is well recognized there is a lack dearth of literature based on discussing how design thinking can influence a businesses innovation strategy for supporting SMEs design businesses development. The …

Inorganisms: An Emergent Approach To Sustainability, David Kadish, Aleksandra Dulic

Nordes Conference Series

Inorganisms is a workshop that engages participants in a process of creation through reflective practice as a way of building and understanding complexity. It models a design process aimed at addressing large-scale global issues that asks designers to create solutions on a local scale, while forming interconnections to neighbouring places and designers. The workshop takes a pragmatic approach to learning through design and experience in order to come to a better understanding of complex, emergent systems. Participants are asked to design and create an inorganic organism from provided building blocks. Each inorganism communicates with other inorganisms, ultimately creating an emergent …

Towards Genuinely Inclusive Design, Victoria Gerrard, Floris Vander Marel

Nordes Conference Series

This workshop aims to support a dialogue around Participation and Design. The motivation is not to develop new ‘Participatory Design’ practices but to develop community accepted modes of design decision making which stem from a dialogue about participation, design and social change.

Co-Designing And Commoning, Andrea Botero, Sanna Martilla, Frederik Vam Amstel, Anna Seravalli, Joanna Saad-Sulonen

Nordes Conference Series

This workshop explores the relevance of commons as an objective and commoning as a way of doing and being for design. How can these concepts help us critically support sustainable futures for communities of humans and non-humans?

Native Products: Nordes 2015 Edition, Costas Bissas, Vasso Asfi, Loukas Angelou

Nordes Conference Series

Native Products is an initiative that could act as a stepping point towards the exploration of alternative mediums and processes of the production cycle. Papairlines have developed a workshop sequence through which flora is transformed into a paste that can be later used as a raw material to cast objects. The process uses household tools and herbs. During this workshop participants will be part of the different stages of processing the raw materials and create small utilitarian objects, while contributing to a debate on how production takes place today and what alternatives can be developed in the current socioeconomic status.

Design For Degrowth: Drawing Ecologies Together, Laura Popplow, Judith Marlen Dobler

Nordes Conference Series

In this workshop we will explore design for degrowth in a collaborative manner. In the first part of the half-day workshop we will discuss in a playful way different visual notions of growth and possible future notions of post- or degrowth. The participants are asked to submit visual material enabling us to create a conversational tool. While taking different roles in the discussion, we will select topics together that seem important to be further worked on. In a second session the participants will split up in smaller groups sketching ideas collaboratively on how a degrowth scenario in the Anthropocene could …

Not A Stitch Out Of Place: Assessing Students’ Attitudes Towards Multimodal Composition, Jeanne Law Bohannon

Faculty Articles

This article traces a brief history of multimodal composition practices in the field of writing studies. It frames writing instruction through the theoretical lens of democratic pedagogy and presents the works of key composition scholars. The author then describes a mixed methods research study, conducted with first-year students on the STEM campus of a state comprehensive university. Students participated in a survey that asked their attitudes towards multimodal writing assignments, digital literacies, and learning outcomes. The author draws conclusions about the effectiveness of multimodal composition based on students’ responses and provides supplemental information on the types of assignments and examples …
