How Smart Clothing Can Mediate The Space Between Users And Their Environment, A Case Study Using Face Masks, Stijn Ossevoort, Miguel Bruns Jun 2022

How Smart Clothing Can Mediate The Space Between Users And Their Environment, A Case Study Using Face Masks, Stijn Ossevoort, Miguel Bruns

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Augmenting clothes with sensors and actuators and turning them into smart clothes, offers new possibilities to mediate the space between users and their environment. The current COVID pandemic provides an ideal research opportunity, given that it challenges conventional norms of personal distance. We developed hairs with LEDs showing six types of dynamic behaviour as a research vehicle and mounted them onto face masks, commonly used during the pandemic. A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted with six subjects. The interview data from their experiences was analysed using the ‘framework of context’ from environmental psychology. We uncover three modes by which smart …

Design Meets Death: A First Systematic Mapping Review Of Design Contributions To End Of Life Field, Andrew Tibbles, Farnaz Nickpour Jun 2022

Design Meets Death: A First Systematic Mapping Review Of Design Contributions To End Of Life Field, Andrew Tibbles, Farnaz Nickpour

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper, for the first time, maps and interrogates the contributions towards the emerging field of design and death, through a systematic mapping review. Key databases and grey literature publications are searched and 183 design contributions are analysed, categorising results according to death spectrum; type of contribution; interventional complexity; design approach; and stakeholder involvement. Findings show an increasing trend of design contributions towards death between 2000-2021. The field is being progressed by a triad of Healthcare, Computer Science and Design disciplines, often siloed in their efforts. Design approaches and methods including Human Centred Design and Co-design are popular, particularly within …

Reframing The Narrative Of Privacy Through System-Thinking Design, Laura Ferrarello, Andrea Cavallaro, Rute Fiadeiro, Riccardo Mazzon Jun 2022

Reframing The Narrative Of Privacy Through System-Thinking Design, Laura Ferrarello, Andrea Cavallaro, Rute Fiadeiro, Riccardo Mazzon

DRS Biennial Conference Series

We present a transdisciplinary approach to the problem of careless privacy be-haviour manifested when people publish images online. Combining the disci-plines of Design and Computer Vision, we developed an interface and a narrative by modelling privacy in a socio-technical context. Building on Gordon Pask’s The-ory of Conversation, we designed an experiential dialogue between people and algorithms, and we used this dialogue as a platform to observe people as a sys-tem composed of the reactions to the stimuli received from profiling algorithms. Through this platform we assessed any changes in awareness and proactivity in mitigating the risk of algorithmic profiling. Integrating …

A Service Design Perspective On Examining The Business Process Of Customized Services, Yu-Hui Lu, Hsien-Hui Tang Jun 2022

A Service Design Perspective On Examining The Business Process Of Customized Services, Yu-Hui Lu, Hsien-Hui Tang

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In the post-pandemic era, consumer behavior patterns have changed, and digital transformation has become a hot topic. With high-touch service features, the Taiwanese custom furniture industry has been depending on manual operations, and the inconsistent internal business processes have resulted in the slow progress of digital transformation plans. Therefore, the study aims to propose a more practical planning model using service design thinking on business process perspectives. By establishing explicit guidelines on back-of-stage interactions, the study intends to standardize the sequence of the operations and reduce the improvements gap among stakeholders. Meanwhile, through studying the service network of the case, …

Constructing A Critical Anthropology Of Contemporary Design Practices, Jocelyn Bailey Jun 2022

Constructing A Critical Anthropology Of Contemporary Design Practices, Jocelyn Bailey

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper articulates a critical approach to researching design as a contemporary phenomenon that was developed through my doctoral research. The approach - critical anthropology of design - is a combination of anthropology of design, critical strategies borrowed from other fields, and a ‘Foucauldian’ theoretical toolkit, which together allow us to see design as a complex disciplinary apparatus. I advocate for such an approach – a switching of the disciplinary lens when studying design, and a more sceptical engagement between social disciplines and design – as essential for both robust critique and original insight. Such an approach is productive and …

Values And Challenges In Rapid Prototyping Of Global Health Policies, Mariana Fonseca Braga, Shiau Yun Chong, Emmanuel Tsekleves, Michael James Penkunas, Louise Mullagh, Harvy Joy Canlas Liwanag, Emma Louise Margaret, Nadiah Tengku Adnan Jun 2022

Values And Challenges In Rapid Prototyping Of Global Health Policies, Mariana Fonseca Braga, Shiau Yun Chong, Emmanuel Tsekleves, Michael James Penkunas, Louise Mullagh, Harvy Joy Canlas Liwanag, Emma Louise Margaret, Nadiah Tengku Adnan

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper identifies the value and challenges in introducing rapid prototyping of policy to design non-expert and expert groups by analysing an online workshop series that was conducted with early-career professionals, policy makers, and design researchers. The COVID-19 pandemic evidenced, even more, the need for situated policies in the area of health as global health policies were ineffective in addressing livelihood diversity, particularly of underserved communities. Therefore, the untapped potential of rapid prototyping for policy making in the area of global health is explored. We particularly analyse the creativity of the different groups who joined the workshop series and point …

Supporting Research On Gender And Design Amongst Steam Researchers In The Souths: A Case Study Of Subsumption In Design Methods, Chiara Del Gaudio, Bjarki Hallgrimsson, Dominique Marshall Jun 2022

Supporting Research On Gender And Design Amongst Steam Researchers In The Souths: A Case Study Of Subsumption In Design Methods, Chiara Del Gaudio, Bjarki Hallgrimsson, Dominique Marshall

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper tells the story of a research program that subsumed the approaches of design, arts and social sciences to enhance gender aware and inclusive research amongst twenty academic teams of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics located in the Souths. These are the findings of our empirical exploration to support the emergence of a transdisciplinary area of research and practice which we defined as Gendered Design. The key factors that proved crucial to overcome disciplinary boundaries and catalyse processes of empowerment are: theoretical and methodological openness, design-driven strategy and experimentation, as well as a holistic and affective approach to …

Resistance, Social Reproduction And Emerging Commitments For Collaborative Design From The Margins, Nathaly Pinto, Brenda Vertiz, Andrea Botero Jun 2022

Resistance, Social Reproduction And Emerging Commitments For Collaborative Design From The Margins, Nathaly Pinto, Brenda Vertiz, Andrea Botero

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The paper introduces two design research cases tracing how the concepts and experiences of resistance and social reproduction can help design research become a more assertive part of the coding that interprets, exposes and disputes social reality, particularly in Latin America. Through reflections on (1) a design intervention contributing to an Indigenous popular education initiative in the Ecuadorian Amazon and (2) a series of ongoing public space design interventions taking place in colonias populares of Mexico City, we propose four interrelated commitments (visibility, sustainment, tensions and collectivity) to orient ourselves in understanding what it actually takes to build knowledge and …

Supporting Design Research On Taboo Topics, Isabel Prochner Jun 2022

Supporting Design Research On Taboo Topics, Isabel Prochner

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Design research and practice deal with many new and underexplored topics that may not have previously been discussed. Yet, many of these topics are still some- what taboo, meaning they can miss out on attention and critical exploration and may not be adequately addressed. This DRS2022 Conversation explored the range of barri- ers faced by design researchers interested in or currently working on taboo topics and how these barriers might be addressed. The report summarizes the discussions during the session, which focused primarily on respectful boundaries and dialogue between researchers and participants. It also highlights key questions and dilemmas facing …

Guiding The Phd In Design: Experiences From Six Programs, Pieter Jan Stappers, Carlos Teixeira, Lucia Rampino, Weston Baxter, Sampsa Hyysalo, Jonathan Chapman Jun 2022

Guiding The Phd In Design: Experiences From Six Programs, Pieter Jan Stappers, Carlos Teixeira, Lucia Rampino, Weston Baxter, Sampsa Hyysalo, Jonathan Chapman

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In the DoCS4Design project, six established PhD programmes in design pooled and compared the diversity in their practices in guiding PhDs (e.g., 3- or 4-year programmes, small or large amounts of formal education, small or large numbers of staff and students). Panelists from the six programmes discussed these differences to- gether with 60 conference participants. Starting from a review of practices at the six programmes (the ‘Map & Glossary’), the conversation covered several themes: strate- gic and institutional aspects of the PhD programs, logistical and administrative aspects of these programs, and fundamentally: how (diversely) do we define what is the …

How Might Design Contribute To A Circular Economy, Susan Evans, Mia B. Münster Jun 2022

How Might Design Contribute To A Circular Economy, Susan Evans, Mia B. Münster

DRS Biennial Conference Series

80 percent of the environmental impact of products and services is deter- mined in the design phase. Since the designer’s job takes place at the initial phase of any design process, designers are in a unique position to effect change in this area. Designers have knowledge of the supply chains and networks that drive, not only de- sign process, but also those that support the production and implementation of de- signs. It is therefore relevant to discuss how design can play a role in the transition towards Circular Economy. In this vein the research question as set for this conversa- …

Prototyping Tensions: How To Talk To Your Colleagues About Ai, Sonja Rattay, Mireia Yurrita, Ignacio Garnham, Jacob T. Browne Jun 2022

Prototyping Tensions: How To Talk To Your Colleagues About Ai, Sonja Rattay, Mireia Yurrita, Ignacio Garnham, Jacob T. Browne

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Current imaginaries of AI are pulled in opposing directions. On the utopian side, AI is being projected as the better half of humankind, evening out the fallibility of human bias and our inability to “know it all”. On the dystopian side, AI will make hu- mans either obsolete or turn humans into overly optimized cogs in a machine. The reality will most likely lie somewhere in between, in an uncomfortable grey zone of compromises, tradeoffs and negotiations of values and desired futures. In this conver- sation, we want to explore the tensions between contrasting imaginaries, which we present as four …

Design + Ethics: How Is It More Than The Sum Of Its Parts?, Deger Ozkaramanli, Michael Nagenborg, Delfina Fantini Van Ditmar, Sanna Lehtinen, Christine Schwobel-Patel, Laura Ferrarello Jun 2022

Design + Ethics: How Is It More Than The Sum Of Its Parts?, Deger Ozkaramanli, Michael Nagenborg, Delfina Fantini Van Ditmar, Sanna Lehtinen, Christine Schwobel-Patel, Laura Ferrarello

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The discussion of ethics in design has so far relied on theories and approaches from other disciplines. We argue that design can benefit from an explicit discussion on the ethics of its methods and practices that arises from within the discipline. This Conversation aimed at stimulating this discussion. Around 25 people attended in person, in addition to the online participants. We asked our audience about the main approaches they use for ethical inquiry and discussed the opportunities and challenges of applying these. We found out that ethics may best be framed as an invitation to care, without reducing it to …

“What Do You Mean?” The State Of Design ‘Defini- Tions’ Within The Discipline And Beyond, Andrew Tibbles, Luka Kille-Speckter, Farnaz Nickpour, Isobel Leason, Cara Shaw Jun 2022

“What Do You Mean?” The State Of Design ‘Defini- Tions’ Within The Discipline And Beyond, Andrew Tibbles, Luka Kille-Speckter, Farnaz Nickpour, Isobel Leason, Cara Shaw

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Designs methods and approaches are growing in popularity across disci- plines, however, definitions are often absent, hidden or superficial with designers missing from the research team. The conveners argue that this endangers design to be misused and devalued. This conversation questioned, what is the current state of de- sign definitions and how they could be developed with a perspective of rigour and im- pact. Points of tension were discovered between contextualisation of a method vs how design communicates to other disciplines; defining from the edges of a definition and defining the core values; and design epistemological base. Recommendations from the …

Collective Dialogues On Motherhood For Feminist Futures, Bree Mcmahon, Dina Benbrahim, Ryan Gibboney, Ashley Hairston Doughty Jun 2022

Collective Dialogues On Motherhood For Feminist Futures, Bree Mcmahon, Dina Benbrahim, Ryan Gibboney, Ashley Hairston Doughty

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This conversation allowed mothers and non-mothers to connect with per- sonal stories and universal struggles during a supportive virtual moment. Some con- venors are design researchers, practitioners, students, and/or educators. This conver- sation also served as a space for designers to reflect on the role and responsibility of design in interrogating reproductive care systems in their current context. The goal of the convenors is to move toward and promote co-designing a preferable feminist fu- ture for mothers. There are few spaces like maternal health care and the experience of motherhood that would benefit simply through qualitative data collection, storytell- ing, …

Critiquing The Design Critique: Examining Traditional Assessment Methods And Shifting To New Ways Of Co-Sharing Feedback, Dajana Nedić, Piper Schuerman, Gaby Hernández, Bree Mcmahon, Alexandria Canchola Jun 2022

Critiquing The Design Critique: Examining Traditional Assessment Methods And Shifting To New Ways Of Co-Sharing Feedback, Dajana Nedić, Piper Schuerman, Gaby Hernández, Bree Mcmahon, Alexandria Canchola

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Examining the impacts of traditional modes of critique within creative spaces help us to reconsider our roles and needs through the exchange of feedback and ideas. Many of the methods applied in the design classroom/studio that assess concept de- velopment, design progress, and outcomes are an inheritance of Western European and historically dominant ideas about visual art (i.e., what is good or bad art, canonical art theory, universality, etc.). These canons continue to perpetuate knowledge hierar- chies and vertical interactions between instructor/subject-expert and student/appren- tice. Methods of critique rooted in these historical traditions are not formulated for participants to easily …

Design For Policy And Governance: New Technologies, New Methodologies, Marzia Mortati, Scott Schmidt, Louise Mullagh Jun 2022

Design For Policy And Governance: New Technologies, New Methodologies, Marzia Mortati, Scott Schmidt, Louise Mullagh

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This position paper pays particular attention to new and upcoming areas of re-search where design disciplines and policy studies are exploring new ways to-ward convergence. This involves in particular the examination of ways in which creativity-based methodologies (i.e., co-creation and co-production) are being used in conjunction with new technologies (i.e., big data and algorithms) to de-liver better policies and services. The papers examined fall into three areas in-cluding institutions and citizen engagement, new technologies and practices, and frameworks and methods. We conclude by proposing a research agenda to ad-vance Design for Policy and Governance. The following is taken from the …

Designing New Financial Transactions: Theories, Case Studies, Methods, Practice And Futures, Chris Elsden, Inte Gloerich, Bettina Nissen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Talking about money can be difficult; designing with it, harder still. Though design is increasingly ‘value-centred’, this theme-track proposes the need for critical attention to how we actually represent, transact and exchange what we value. In this editorial, we offer some background to the topic, describe potential areas of development for design researchers and practitioners, and introduce the papers presented through this theme at DRS 2022.
