Translational Design: Enabling Impact In Complex, Multi-Stakeholder Research Projects Through Design, Rowan Christopher Page, Rosie Hornbuckle, Leah Heiss, André Nogueira
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Translational research converts the knowledge generated through basic research into tangible innovations, solutions, and interventions that directly impact people and the planet. As universities increasingly seek to maximise research impact, the applied, action-oriented, epistemology of design is well-positioned to support translational research. Successful translation requires strong communication and collaboration between different disciplines, industry partners, policy, and research end-users. Multi-stakeholder collaborations foster holistic approaches, leading to more effective and contextually relevant solutions. Designers are well-positioned to facilitate complex entanglements, integrating the needs and values of diverse perspectives. However, the emerging role of design as an enabler of translational research needs to …

Editorial: Language In Design, Senthil Chandrasegaran, Tania Allen, Sara Queen, Peter Lloyd
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The role of language is central to the practice of designing, though our understanding of this role has evolved from more formal-language representations to more natural-language representations. Language plays a central and critical role in all aspects of design including: collaboration, problem understanding and framing, modelling, decision-making, creativity, and marketing. With textual data relating to design widely available, and recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI), we are poised at an interesting stage in our understanding of the role of language in designing. The last few years have seen what is being called a Cambrian Explosion in large language models (LLMs) …

Pluriversal Design As A Paradigm, Renata M. Leitao, Lesley-Ann Noel, Maria Rogal, Nicholas B. Torretta, Juan Montalvan, Sucharita Beniwal, Mariana Fonseca Braga, Dimeji Onafuwa, Maria Cristina Ibarra
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The concept of the Pluriverse refers to a world where many worlds fit. But what is pluriversal design? While it has been used as a synonym for initiatives around diversity, equity, and inclusion, this track argues that pluriversal frameworks represent a distinct paradigm — in contrast with the universal design paradigm. These two paradigms, while important in their own right, deal with diversity and plurality in fundamentally different ways. The term ‘universal’ is grounded in the belief that we all live in one single world, with one right (or “developed”) way to live, with a dominant narrative in which the …
Data As Design Research: Mediating Processes, Protocols, And Precedent In Practice, Elizabeth Bowie Christoforetti, Andrew Witt
Data As Design Research: Mediating Processes, Protocols, And Precedent In Practice, Elizabeth Bowie Christoforetti, Andrew Witt
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The theme aims to consider the evolution of design methods, processes, and outputs in relationship to the imperatives of data in design practice, and the ways in which data-integrated practices are changing the nature of design itself. The increasing availability of data and related processes due to networked artifacts, artificial intelligence, and cultural digitalization pose a significant paradigm shift for design methods, collaboration, and the scalable impact of design in the world. Discourse may consider the fact that the systematic nature of data structures pushes related design pursuits into a realm of scalable systems that exceeds the replicability of industrial …

Designing A Recovery Playbook For Muslim Americans Experiencing Substance Use Disorders, Firaz Peer, Shamin Shoomali
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Substance use disorders (SUDs) within the Muslim American community presents unique challenges influenced by cultural, religious, and social factors. Research indicates that SUDs are often hidden within Muslim communities due to the stigma surrounding them. Addressing SUDs requires culturally sensitive prevention and treatment programs that consider the diverse backgrounds and specific needs of Muslim Americans. The goal with this Lab was to create a recovery playbook that can guide Muslim communities in their journey through recovery. This playbook was based on the feedback we received from two online workshops with seven participants from across the US. Doing a thematic analysis …

‘We’Re All In This Together’: A Mixed Methods Randomised Controlled Trial Exploring Cross-Pollinative Team Learning Studio Pedagogy’S Effects On Academic Resilience And Performance, Zhengping Liow
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Design education's pedagogy of ambiguities and the One-on-One Master-Apprentice's Hidden Curriculum purportedly led to psychological distress and poor academic performance for beginning design students. Despite favourable social conditions, few studies have examined Social Support as positive adaptations towards students' academic resilience in design studios. This mixed methods randomised controlled trial compared One-on-One and Cross-pollinative Team Learning (CTL) students. Inferential statistics revealed that One-on-One students were more resilient (p = .065 & p = .126), but CTL students have academically outperformed significantly (p = .0003 & p = .017). Thematic Analysis of CTL students’ focus group interview as they transitioned to …
Envisioning Transformation Structures To Support Ethical Mediation Practices, Shruthi Sai Chivukula, Colin M. Gray
Envisioning Transformation Structures To Support Ethical Mediation Practices, Shruthi Sai Chivukula, Colin M. Gray
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Ethics is complex and situated, involving many stakeholders that impact the design of technology systems. Numerous methods and tools have been proposed to enable practitioners to address ethical issues in the workplace. However, little work has described how designers themselves understand and seek to respond to that ethical complexity. In this short paper, we present five transformation structures that visually and relationally depict how ethics might be addressed in a workplace setting. We base these structures on analysis of plans that 39 practitioners and students created in a co-design workshop to address an ethical concern in their job role. We …
Measuring Mental Wellbeing – Can We Measure It, And If So, What Should We Measure, And How? A Qualitative Provotyping Study, Sander Hermsen, Lieke Pijnenborg
Measuring Mental Wellbeing – Can We Measure It, And If So, What Should We Measure, And How? A Qualitative Provotyping Study, Sander Hermsen, Lieke Pijnenborg
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Mental wellbeing is a growing concern for many young adults today. The design of digital products and services that could support young adults is hampered by a lack of knowledge about what constitutes mental wellbeing, and what design requirements exist for interventions. This study applied a provotyping method to add to this knowledge. Results show that mental wellbeing is broader than hedonic and eudaimonic aspects, encompassing also social, psychosocial, health- and activity-related and relaxation-related aspects. Design requirements for interventions that automatically register and provide feedback on mental wellbeing include tailoring of defining aspects to personal situations, algorithms that learn from …
Shanzhai As A Pluriversal Praxis: Challenging Western Design And Innovation Paradigm, Dan Mu
Shanzhai As A Pluriversal Praxis: Challenging Western Design And Innovation Paradigm, Dan Mu
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper explores the concept of Shanzhai ('fake' in Chinese), a Chinese practice often associated with imitation and design plagiarism, this study uses Shan-zhai to critique dominant forms of innovation, framed by a discussion of pluriversal design. Through a comprehensive literature review and empirical research, this study explores Shanzhai's evolution from a response to globalisation and de-sign colonisation to a reflection of identity. Shanzhai's unique approach challenges dominant design narratives, but in its own way emphasises inclusiveness and innovation. The study concludes that Shanzhai transcends its initial role as a design and manufacturing practice, evolving into a cultural phenomenon symbolising …
The Uses Of Enchantment: Playful Design Tools That Evoke ‘The Unsayable’ For Teenagers With Lived Experience Of Loneliness., Eloise Belladonna Day
The Uses Of Enchantment: Playful Design Tools That Evoke ‘The Unsayable’ For Teenagers With Lived Experience Of Loneliness., Eloise Belladonna Day
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This project introduces tools that involve teenagers, with relevant lived experiences, in co-creating a social-purpose advertising campaign as a way of meaningfully engaging young audiences. Many co-creation methods rely on direct, text-based, or individual spoken contribution methods. These disregard young people’s unconscious knowledges and collective ways of knowing. The research was conducted through ethnographic methods alongside semi-structured interviews with the participants of a co-created campaign workshop. The result is a suite of novel playful tools which generate collective insight and creative ideas by engaging teenagers’ collective, embodied and imaginative ways of knowing. The key concept of ‘enchantment’ is used to …

Born Alone, But Not Lonely: Rethinking Public Space Design For Chinese One-Child Generation’S Affinity For Solitude, Xia Bi, Caterina Villani, Kin Wai Michael Siu
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Understanding the psychological needs of users is crucial for public space designers and healthy city planners. However, there is currently less atten-tion paid to the need for solitude in public spaces, despite psychological re-search demonstrating the positive impact of public space use on physical and mental health. With the only-child generation becoming the main pro-ductive generation in Chinese society, it is important to determine their psychological needs regarding public space use. This study aimed to address this issue by using questionnaire studies. Participants (n=521) aged between 10 and 25 completed an online questionnaire survey. The results indicated that the young …

Policy Design, Lived Experience, And Speculative Futures, Michael Mintrom, Shanti Sumartojo, Lisa Grocott, Hannah Korsmeyer, Myf Doughty
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Good policy design calls for analysis of problems, how they might be addressed, and likely outcomes. Policy scholars and practitioners have devised methods that bring rigor to policy design through problem framing, assessment of potential interventions, and prediction of outcomes of those interventions. This pursuit of analytical and predictive rigor has often given short shrift to the insights of people whose lives are affected by current challenges and who will be impacted by policy change. We consider how lived experience might effectively inform policy design. Our theory of change is that creative engagement with citizens can generate insights of high …
