Sensing Soil Habitability: Relational Data For Multispecies Attunement, Diya Samit, Mathias Funk, Bahareh Barati

IASDR Conference Series

Design research increasingly engages with ecological complexity through the emerging bodies of More- than-Human design (MtHD) and biodesign. While these fields share topical concerns, they differ in their onto-epistemological orientations, particularly in how they employ data. Biodesign often harnesses data to engineer novel functions in living systems, whereas MtHD emphasizes relationality, care, and designing with other-than-humans. Despite growing interest in bridging these perspectives, data practices at their intersection remain predominantly representational or oriented towards instrumental control. This paper responds to calls for rethinking data by introducing Soil Habitability as both a conceptual and methodological lens, grounded in an exploratory research-through-design …

IASDR Conference Series

Interdisciplinary teams are crucial for organizational innovation but face a dual-process challenge: disciplinary differences can either foster creativity-enhancing integrative complexity or hinder it through intellectual centrism. This study examines these opposing mechanisms and their contingent factors. Drawing on paradox theory, we propose that conflict arising from disciplinary differences activates: (1) integrative complexity (the differentiation and integration of contradictory perspectives), which enhances creative performance; and (2) intellectual centrism (a rigid adherence to one’s discipline), which inhibits creativity. Paradoxical task framing (e.g., pursuing novelty and practicality) intensifies both mechanisms. Notably, these effects primarily emerge during the convergent phase (idea selection) of the …

Memories Evoked By Prototypes: Proposal Of A Priming-Based Method To Foster Co-Creation, Keita Mitomi, Seiko Shirasaka Dec 2025

Memories Evoked By Prototypes: Proposal Of A Priming-Based Method To Foster Co-Creation, Keita Mitomi, Seiko Shirasaka

IASDR Conference Series

Our results indicate that personal memory connections—rather than prototype fidelity per se—appear to be more strongly associated with stakeholders’ willingness to co-create with early-stage prototypes. Although prior work emphasizes prototype fidelity in relation to willingness to co-create, the cognitive interpretation process by which people make sense of prototypes remains a black box. We model interpretation as a memory-based mapping process: viewers (i) notice prototype cues, (ii) recall relevant experiences, (iii) map specific elements from those memories onto the cues (“mapped base nodes”), and (iv) update their mental image of the final product. A formative think-aloud study (n = 6) with …

"A Second Glance": Anthropomorphic Tools As Speculative Companion, Yixuan Wei, Dag Aarsland, Wei Liu Dec 2025

"A Second Glance": Anthropomorphic Tools As Speculative Companion, Yixuan Wei, Dag Aarsland, Wei Liu

IASDR Conference Series

This paper explores how anthropomorphic design can function as a speculative pathway toward alternative futures. Drawing on the vision of design as a form of critical speculation, it proposes that endowing objects with human-like qualities, often accompanied by unexpected behaviours and effects, invites new modes of engagement that are emotional and narratives of the self. By examining selected design cases and artefacts that evoke anthropomorphic thinking, the study argues that such designs do not simply imitate life but provoke reflections on human entanglement with objects they live around and interact with every day, the fragility of agency, and the companionship …
