Sounds That Satisfy: Describing The Relationship Between Sound And Need Fulfilment, Gijs Louwers, Elif Özcan, Jasper Van Bommel, Sylvia Pont

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Psychological needs of users as a basis for design are at the core of design practice, yet the importance of fundamental human needs when designing soundscapes has not been studied specifically. This paper investigates the relationship between nine fundamental human needs and the affective qualities and categories of soundscapes. In a free-labeling survey study, we collected descriptions of imagined sound environments for the fulfilment of the needs, as well as ratings of the perceived affective quality of these environments. We found that needs were associated with pleasant soundscapes, while their eventfulness varied. ‘Human’ sounds were a common category for each …

DRS Biennial Conference Series

During the pandemic, the impact of video communication platforms drastically increased. But in front of a screen, flexible and serendipitous interactions known from real-life settings were reduced to a minimum. Zoom fatigue occurred very quickly and early on developments were started to provide more flexible alternatives to video-focused platforms. Spatialized Video Communication Platforms (SVCP) reintroduce more flexibility, serendipity and improved dynamic group forming by providing game-like environments. After a brief review on SVCPs, we are focusing here on the highly-customizable Gather.town platform. We developed an Open-Source pipeline to create 3D-based environments that meet the demand for visual requirements from design-engineering …

Diving In: What Will It Take For Consumers To Transition To A Circular Economy Ready-To-Cook Fish Product? Insights From The Uk, Hayley Alter, Emmanuel Tsekleves, Serena Pollastri

DRS Biennial Conference Series

To balance production needs with the need to sustain or regenerate the health of ocean ecosystems, stakeholders in the European fish and seafood sector are calling for transition to a circular economy. New industry methods will produce fish-based foods that consumers are not accustomed to eating so we ask, what will it take for consumers to adopt these industrial circular economy foods? Taking the Seafood Age consortium product prototype as a basis, we have created a design method for would-be consumers to reflect on their fish consumption practices and possible adoption of the fish product prototype prompted by a de-sign …

Systemic Assessment As A Tool For The Design Process, Juan De La Rosa Jun 2022

Systemic Assessment As A Tool For The Design Process, Juan De La Rosa

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper introduces the idea of a systemic issue of misrepresentation of certain factors in the design process that could lead to ignoring the complexity and pos-sible impact of some design actions and artefacts in the system. By analyzing dif-ferent cases from literature, professional practice, and design research, a frame-work of initial analysis of the different factors that can assess some of the com-plexity of a project is presented, and a reflection is made regarding their signifi-cance and the elements they could evaluate from different cases.

A Community-Based Learning Program To Improve Wellbeing And Design Student Success, Marie Van Den Bergh, Mieke Van Der Bijl-Brouwer, Rebecca Price

DRS Biennial Conference Series

While the Pandemic has increased awareness towards student wellbeing in higher education (HE), it also exacerbated existing challenges. Specifically, students pursuing their master graduation thesis often find themselves isolated and overwhelmed due to the individualistic nature of their project and the pressure to create a ‘masterpiece’. In this paper, we provide insight into how designing for community can positively impact thesis design students’ motivation, sense of community and wellbeing, which we identify as drivers of student success. We discuss and evaluate a community-based learning (CBL) program we designed and implemented to improve student success during the master thesis journey of …

Regeneration In Action: Toward A New Path For Sustainable Research Projects, Caroline Nowaki, Marguerite Foissac Jun 2022

Regeneration In Action: Toward A New Path For Sustainable Research Projects, Caroline Nowaki, Marguerite Foissac

DRS Biennial Conference Series

As COP26 just ended with moderate commitments from governments to keep global warming under 1.5°C, how can designers contribute to fight climate change? Systemic design has proposed to change design perspective from the user to the system in which the user and the designer operate to envision better our social and environmental impact. Regenerative design adds that we should aim for positive instead of net-zero impact and change our mindset and practices to create the conditions for all forms of life to thrive. If regenerative guidelines exist in urban design, it is unclear how UX-UI designers should change their practices …

Value-Drive Design Approach To Envision Speculative Futures, Yihyun Lim, Bumjin Kim Jun 2022

Value-Drive Design Approach To Envision Speculative Futures, Yihyun Lim, Bumjin Kim

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper presents a design approach that brings together speculative design, value-sensitive design, and emotion-based ethnographic method to identify value-experiences for the design of value-driven speculative futures. The paper discusses the approach in five steps; 1) emotion-based design ethnography, 2) visual mapping and value-extraction, 3) secondary research of technology and socio-cultural trends and filtering of technologies based on its interpreted value-experiences, 4) design of value-driven future scenarios, 5) materializing scenarios as discursive prototypes. We explore COVID19 pandemic as a context of research-through-design inquiry in developing this approach.

Designing For What? Approaching Necessary Production And Consumption For A Circular Economy, Isaac Arturo Ortega Alvarado, Ida Nilstad Pettersen Jun 2022

Designing For What? Approaching Necessary Production And Consumption For A Circular Economy, Isaac Arturo Ortega Alvarado, Ida Nilstad Pettersen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Circular economy (CE) is currently a 'hot topic' in design discourse. The focus of these discourses has centered on product design, which is a core aspect of material circularity. However, CE is more than products. This assumption is the base for a research question: what should be the intention in designing for a CE? The recognition of CE as a systemic transition opens up opportunities for other forms of design. These forms should contribute to societal goals concerning why and what is produced –more than the profit-making. We contend that a CE should not be approached from the perspective of …

Musings On Vocabulary Choices When Proposing Design Towards Profound Systems Change, Gwendolyn Kulick Jun 2022

Musings On Vocabulary Choices When Proposing Design Towards Profound Systems Change, Gwendolyn Kulick

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The search for an imaginative vocabulary that encourages mind and behaviour shifts is not an easy task in processes of formulating design trajectories towards profound systems change. At the same time many design concerns are embedded in larger ecological, social, economical or political systemic crises and call for generating systems change across multiple dimensions. A prolonged terminology search when describing the theoretical and practical results of a PhD research into Pakistan’s craft sector through the systems lens triggered the interest in penning this paper about the entanglements of language and expanded design horizons and methods. While it can only offer …

Birds, Bees And Bats: Exploring Possibilities For Cohabitation In The More-Than-Human City, Ferne Edwards, Ida Maria Corsepius Melen, Anna Caroline Syse, Ida Nilstad Pettersen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Urbanization pressures are creating conditions for greater urban density. However, cities are home for both humans and a diversity of nonhuman natures, where heightened proximity between species can cause friction and conflict. This paper explores possibilities for convivial multispecies cohabitation in more-than-human cities. It grounds more-than-human theory through the application of three case studies – birds, bees and bats – based in the city of Trondheim, Norway. Drawing on three related studies, these creatures help illuminate what kind of spaces, needs and considerations are required beyond a human-centric focus in the urban environment. Issues to consider include disease, insecure land …

From Explanations To Shared Understandings Of Ai, Iohanna Nicenboim, Elisa Giaccardi, Johan Redström Jun 2022

From Explanations To Shared Understandings Of Ai, Iohanna Nicenboim, Elisa Giaccardi, Johan Redström

DRS Biennial Conference Series

A key challenge in the design of AI systems is how to support people in understanding them. We address this challenge by positioning explanations in everyday life, within ongoing relations between people and artificial agents. By reorienting explainability through more-than-human design, we call for a new approach that considers both people and artificial agents as active participants in constructing understandings. To articulate such an approach, we first review the assumptions underpinning the premise of explaining AI. We then conceptualize a shift from explanations to shared understandings, which we characterize as situated, dynamic, and performative. We conclude by proposing two design …

How Might We Evaluate Co-Design? A Literature Review On Existing Practices, Zixuan Wang, Tingting Jiang, Jiawen Huang, Yixuan Tai, Paola Maria Trapani Jun 2022

How Might We Evaluate Co-Design? A Literature Review On Existing Practices, Zixuan Wang, Tingting Jiang, Jiawen Huang, Yixuan Tai, Paola Maria Trapani

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Background: In recent years, co-design has seen exponential adoption in response to complex socio-technical transitions. However, the appraisal around co-design still lacks development, making its quality, effect, and value ambiguous. Aim: This study aims to encourage more research and practice in co-design evaluation by summarizing existing attempts. Method: We first conducted an integrative literature review in Scopus by analyzing and comparing existing methods used for assessing co-design. Then we iteratively coded the reviewed articles in ATLAS.ti following grounded theory. Through critical reflection and synthesis of the codes, we formed higher-level themes describing different aspects of co-design assessment. Based on these, …

Material Metaphors: An Approach To Collaborative Knowledge Production In Transdisciplinary Sustainability Research, Daniela Peukert Jun 2022

Material Metaphors: An Approach To Collaborative Knowledge Production In Transdisciplinary Sustainability Research, Daniela Peukert

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The integration of different forms of knowing and bodies of knowledge, as well as collaborative forms of knowledge production, seems particularly significant for the core of scientific work and in inter- and transdisciplinary processes in sustainability research. Nevertheless, collaborative knowledge production in heterogeneous teams brings up specific challenges. This is where existing methods for group negotiation processes, strongly based on language and text, reach their limits. To fill this gap, design-based methods can be used. They expand the mode of language and text to include the visual-haptic dimension, which allows access to other levels of thinking as it appeals to …

Plagiarism Or Reference? Exploring The Detection Criteria And Solutions Of Visual Design Plagiarism, Shenglan Cui, Fang Liu, Yinman Guo, Wei Wang

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Visual plagiarism occurs frequently and is often controversial. This paper conducts an exploratory study to discuss detection criteria and solutions for visual plagiarism. Since visual design involves many fields, considering the ubiquity and diversity of posters, we explore plagiarism based on poster design. We summarize the eight main elements which compose a poster artwork and discuss eight factors that influence plagiarism evaluation from two aspects of “Evaluation Standard” and “Evaluation Method.” We discussed possible solutions based on technology and tools to detect visual plagiarism better and track artwork, supporting a good online design sharing environment.

Mutant In The Mirror: Queer Becomings With Ai, Grace Leonora Turtle Jun 2022

Mutant In The Mirror: Queer Becomings With Ai, Grace Leonora Turtle

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper contributes to scholarly discourse on design and AI by using queerness as a theoretical grounding to explore potentialities for design to interface with and imagine artificial intelligence (AI) differently. The paper does so by reporting on an autotheoretical experiment in which I pose the questions: What if we understood AI as queer, a kind of mutant, in a state of becoming; a dynamic, relational, non-binary gender variant? How then might AI show up in and act on the world (with us humans) differently? The experiment uses a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to unsettle how AI is understood today, …

New Perspectives In Fashion Sustainability Through The Use Of Bacterial Cellulose, Patrizia Bolzan, Daria Casciani, Arianna Regaglia

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Fashion constitutes a sector with a high environmental impact, particularly because of shorter product life cycles and an exponential increase in the speed of production and in the number of goods created, sold, or unconsumed and thrashed. This paper aims to explore new perspectives of design and production processes toward environmental, social, and cultural sustainability through bio-fabrication. After an analysis of the context of reference and a review of existing literature, the research focuses on experimentation with bacterial cellulose (BC) to investigate the limits and potentials of controlled growth, waste processing and integration, accessories creation and recyclability, and the assembly/disassembly …

Designing With Chemical Haptics, Jasmine Lu Jun 2022

Designing With Chemical Haptics, Jasmine Lu

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Designers have developed a vast array of rich interactions to stimulate the mind and body. While much of the focus has been on creating visual systems (such as in VR), there is increasing interest in developing ways to reproduce touch sensations. This turn suggests a desire to create interactive experiences that involve our whole bodies and not solely our visual senses. However, a major part of the human sensorium has been neglected: our chemosensory systems, the sensory pathways that respond to chemical stimuli. Chemical receptors exist all throughout our body and are embedded throughout our skin. In this paper, I …

Is This Alive? Towards A Vocabulary For Understanding And Communicating Living Material Experiences, Hazal Ertürkan, Elvin Karana, Ruth Mugge Jun 2022

Is This Alive? Towards A Vocabulary For Understanding And Communicating Living Material Experiences, Hazal Ertürkan, Elvin Karana, Ruth Mugge

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Living materials are a nascent material class where living organisms are embedded and kept alive in the design outcome to achieve novel functionalities, expressions, and interactions. Experiential characterisation studies with potential end-users will provide insights for developing these novel materials for meaningful material applications. Nevertheless, the current literature lacks a vocabulary to communicate and discuss living materials in user studies. To bridge this gap, our paper presents the development of a “Living Materials Vocabulary” consisting of 45 descriptive items. Through a term frequency analysis of relevant literature and in-depth interviews with eight biodesigners, we identified a set of descriptions which …

Envisioning Personal Finance And Expense Tracking For A Sustainable Future, Young-Ae Hahn, Jiyoun Lee, Minhyuk Kim Jun 2022

Envisioning Personal Finance And Expense Tracking For A Sustainable Future, Young-Ae Hahn, Jiyoun Lee, Minhyuk Kim

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Young Koreans who are financially inexperienced and unconcerned about environmen-tal and social issues cannot achieve balanced goals—economic self-sufficiency, envi-ronmental-health sustainability and ethical consumption—for a sustainable future. Although current personal finance apps provide daily, weekly and monthly spending trends, they do not effectively raise awareness of these goals. In response, we envi-sioned an alternative expense tracking app UI with two reference points against which a user can compare his/her current spending: (1) the user’s peer age/household/income group spending averages and (2) expert recommendations on the appropriate savings rate, energy consumption limits and ethically manufactured products. According to a survey questionnaire that …

Deep Listening: A Framework For Collaborative Climate Adaptation, Eric Gordon, Yihyun Lim, James Paradis, Tomas Guarna, Gabriela Degetau, Mona Vijaykumar

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This article introduces Deep Listening, a novel transdisciplinary research agenda and framework for collaborative climate adaptation. It argues for the urgency to develop a communication approach in understanding how frontline communities interact with mediating institutions. Deep Listening is presented in five components: 1) knowledge sharing (mutually agreed upon protocols for data production and use); 2) holding space (co-creating spaces where institutional actors and communities can exchange, learn from each other and discuss); 3) the production and sharing of climate imaginaries (where local or Indigenous knowledge and community values are respected); 4) sensemaking with a diversity of perspectives and scientific data; …

Digital Toys As Tangible, Embodied, Embedded Interactions, Nicole Vickery, Dannielle Tarlinton, Yuehao Wang, Alethea Blackler

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Our research aims to explore the potential that tangible, embedded, embodied interactions (TEIs) has in enabling children’s (age 3-5 years old) active play. This paper describes our study of 66 commercially available digitally augmented toys that have the potential to get children moving, and how these digital toys may be conceptualised as TEIs. During our analysis, the type and persistence of digital feedback from the toys was an important factor in our conceptualisation of these toys as tangible and embodied. We also encounter issues when conceptualising children’s toys, particularly toys for pretend play, as embedded interaction. These findings offer the …

Playful Co-Creation In Urban Space: Igniting Activation, Closeness, And Collective Intervention Of Residents In Neighbourhoods, Nicole Arthur, Liridona Sopjani Jun 2022

Playful Co-Creation In Urban Space: Igniting Activation, Closeness, And Collective Intervention Of Residents In Neighbourhoods, Nicole Arthur, Liridona Sopjani

DRS Biennial Conference Series

How public space is designed, who it is designed by, and the events embedded within it can have a huge impact on the lived experiences in a city. Traditional ways of developing urban space have been generating an increasing distance between citizens, the spaces they inhabit, and the processes for creating these spaces. This can be seen in the reduced interactions between people in public space, the little use of public space and the disengagement of citizens from existing development processes. In view of this a playful co-creation approach of temporary urban spaces is explored within a community in Sweden …

Exploring Diversity Perceptions In A Community Through A Q&A Chatbot, Peter Kun, Amalia De Götzen, Miriam Bidoglia, Niels Jørgen Gommesen, George Gaskell Jun 2022

Exploring Diversity Perceptions In A Community Through A Q&A Chatbot, Peter Kun, Amalia De Götzen, Miriam Bidoglia, Niels Jørgen Gommesen, George Gaskell

DRS Biennial Conference Series

While diversity has become a debated issue in design, very little research exists on positive use-cases for diversity beyond scholarly criticism. The current work addresses this gap through the case of a diversity-aware chatbot, exploring what benefits a diversity-aware chatbot could bring to people and how do people interpret diversity when being presented with it. In this paper, we motivate a Q&A chatbot as a technology probe and deploy it in two student communities within a study. During the study, we collected contextual data on people's expectations and perceptions when presented with diversity. Our key findings show that people seek …
