Touchy-Feely: A Designerly Exploration Of Haptic Representations Of Three Mood States, Haian Xue, Qianqian Zheng, Pieter M. A. Desmet
IASDR Conference Series
Human moods are diffuse, elusive, and often difficult to articulate, yet they hold immense potential for wellbeing-centric design because they play a significant role in shaping our everyday life experiences. A person’s mood influences their experiences with a designed system, and in turn, their interactions with the design also influence their mood for better or worse. To enable designers to better comprehend and communicate moods in their design processes, this paper reports a project that explored the possibilities of creating haptic objects as a medium for communicating subtle qualities of specific moods. The project focused on three commonly experienced moods …

Embedded Actors In Design Objects: Reflexivity In Design For Social Innovation, Danwen Ji, Ziqi Li
Embedded Actors In Design Objects: Reflexivity In Design For Social Innovation, Danwen Ji, Ziqi Li
IASDR Conference Series
Designers lead practices to focus on complex social-technical systems, however, most of the time they forget that they should also be embedded in the social structure they intend to change. Recently, researchers have been giving increased attention to “reflexivity” in design, but there has been limited exploration of designers’ long-term engagement within the design object, particularly in community-based social innovation. We utilized the constructivist grounded theory to analyze the reflexive discourse of three practitioners, exploring their understanding of the social structure, their own identities, and the impact of reflexivity on their subsequent design actions. This study represents a preliminary inquiry …

Guiding Into The Unknown. A Dialogue Between Design And Yoga For Mindful Design Education, Estelle Berger
Guiding Into The Unknown. A Dialogue Between Design And Yoga For Mindful Design Education, Estelle Berger
IASDR Conference Series
This paper builds on wider research studying designers’ posture, understood as the specific way in which professional activity is invested, given substance, meaning and justification. Awareness on posture is even more important in design teaching and leadership, as individuals take responsibility for guiding others. But, in complex and uncertain environments, knowledge holding has become less important than continuous learning. “Guiding into the unknown” questions the meaning and very possibility of accompanying intimate processes of transformation, far beyond professional training as commonly understood. Outside of content, what emerges in such relationships? In this investigation, yoga is mobilized as a both philosophical …
