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

Biodesign For A Culture Of Life: Of Microbes, Ethics, And Design, Rachel Armstrong
Biodesign For A Culture Of Life: Of Microbes, Ethics, And Design, Rachel Armstrong
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Scientific advances at the turn of the new millennium brought radical new insights into just how microbial our world is and the extent to which microbes influence our lives: from notions of the body (human microbiome); to their distribution in our living spaces (microbiome of the built environment); playing an integral role in ecosystems services in our cities (urban microbiome) and are fundamental to biogeochemical cycles—our world is irreducibly microbial. This paper asks what it means to dwell and design in such times and proposes an ethics for biodesign: which employs the insights and tools of the biotechnological age to …
Design As An Agent Of Narratives: A Conceptual Framework And A First Exploration In The Context Of Inclusive Paediatric Mobility Design, Cara Shaw, Farnaz Nickpour
Design As An Agent Of Narratives: A Conceptual Framework And A First Exploration In The Context Of Inclusive Paediatric Mobility Design, Cara Shaw, Farnaz Nickpour
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Although much of human experience is qualitative, front-end design documentation typically defaults to quantification which can abstract, dilute or lose meaning and reasoning with regards to lived experiences. Narratives are a well-established channel for gathering rich qualitative insights around individual and collective experiences, perceptions and values. However, the potential to advance the role of design beyond simply an embodiment agent for dominant narratives - to an agent for uncovering, interrogating, speculating, and scaling a diversity of narrative ‘classes’ and ‘statuses’ - is yet to be fully explored. This paper proposes a conceptual framework positioning design as an agent of narratives …
Implementation Intention As A Debiasing Intervention For A Bias Blind Spot Among Ux Practitioners, Oana Bogdescu, Michael Mose Biskjaer, Alwin De Rooij
Implementation Intention As A Debiasing Intervention For A Bias Blind Spot Among Ux Practitioners, Oana Bogdescu, Michael Mose Biskjaer, Alwin De Rooij
DRS Biennial Conference Series
When designing digital products that millions of people use, User Experience (UX) practitioners are prone to typical cognitive biases that might threaten the quality of their work. A barrier for mitigating such biases is the bias blind spot: People are more likely to detect bias in others than in themselves. Since practitioners have no standard means to diminish the bias blind spot, this paper investigates the prospect of implementation intention, designed as a commitment to consider how one evaluates others when evaluating oneself, as a debiasing intervention. As a preliminary study, an online experiment was conducted among 123 UX practitioners …

Ethics, Design, And Creativity: A Fruitful Combination, Wouter Eggink, Steven Dorrestijn, Karin Van Der Heijden, Ilse Ouwens
DRS Biennial Conference Series
In the context of the designers responsibility for the impact of technology, ethical considerations are important. However, these considerations are often seen as limiting innovation and the freedom of the designer. Is it possible, on the contrary, that ethics can also foster creativity in design? The research project Tech-Wise is about a practice oriented approach in ethics; developing tools to engage people with ethical deliberation on the impact of technology. One result of the project is a workshop format for stimulating ethical deliberation that can be tailored to particular technologies and design disciplines. We argue from the results of one …
A Place We Call Home: Curriculum For Land-Based Education, Adolfo Ruiz
A Place We Call Home: Curriculum For Land-Based Education, Adolfo Ruiz
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper describes initial research into the creation of curriculum that combines visual communication design with local Indigenous knowledge in the Tłı̨chǫ Dene region of subarctic Canada. This curriculum is intended for regional youth, and to be accredited by the Faculty of Extension at the University of Alberta. Situated outside dominant models of design education, the following sections illustrate the significant role that embodied knowledge and relationality can play in land-based pedagogy. As part of this discussion, the field of design is situated as an intermediary between an Indigenous community and a Western academic institution. Through a reflexive, narrative form …
Soundscape Design For Historical Buildings As A Sonic Place-Making Process, Anne-Sofie Udsen, Kim Halskov
Soundscape Design For Historical Buildings As A Sonic Place-Making Process, Anne-Sofie Udsen, Kim Halskov
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Through the design of soundscape installations for three historical museum buildings, we explore how sonic placemaking may be used to reveal intangible cultural heritage. We build on Harrison and Dourish’s distinction between space and place, and Jordan Lacey’s definition of sonic placemaking to understand sound-scape design as a process of creating places that support sensory connection be-tween the museum guest and museum space, hereby enabling new experiences. We apply design space thinking as the approach to systematize and explore how distinct design choices affect the intended sonic placemaking. Through an inter-disciplinary approach that spans interaction design and sound studies, we …
By Invitation Only: A Multidisciplinary Framework For An Industry-Led Design Approach, Clara Fernandes, Yasser Suratman, Nur Hidayah Abu Bakar
By Invitation Only: A Multidisciplinary Framework For An Industry-Led Design Approach, Clara Fernandes, Yasser Suratman, Nur Hidayah Abu Bakar
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Considering the issues faced by education during the pandemic, the need for design programmes to synchronise with the industry is rather essential. The disconnect between design students' studio practice during the pandemic has aggravated the situation further, considering that the most appointed defect of design programmes is their low involvement with the industry in multidisciplinary projects. What benefits for design students and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to participate in industry-led projects? How can those be implemented, considering the recovery state in which many design programmes currently are? Through a survey with students who participated in this brief (N=32), and interviews …
Sustainable Approaches To Textile Design: Lessons From Biology, Veronika Kapsali, Cathryn Hall
Sustainable Approaches To Textile Design: Lessons From Biology, Veronika Kapsali, Cathryn Hall
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Models such as the circular economy, offer guidance to actors from the fashion and textile industry on how to navigate the negative environmental, ethical, and social impacts of the sector’s current and historic practices. The principles underpinning these models originate from the intersection of biology and general systems theory and have provided us with valuable alternative paradigms via a top-down lens. This paper seeks to explore the potential for additional insight into sustainable textile design practice from biology by reviewing sustainable design principles emerging from top-down (ecology + systems view) within the context of a bottom-up (biology + engineering) approach. …

Examining Performance Of Vr Sketch Modeling Tool In Personal Sketches, Ming-Huang Lin, I-Chen Chiang, Ling Lee, Hao-Xuan Lu
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This study examined the performance of the virtual reality (VR) sketch mod- eling tool Gravity Sketch in the early stage of design and explored its advantages and disadvantages. In the experiment, nine graduate students in the field of design with several months of experience with Gravity Sketch sketched ideas in VR and on paper. Qualitative analysis was performed using retrospective methods and grounded theory. The results revealed that fewer sketches were produced and less time was spent on design thinking in VR than on paper because (1) sketches created using the VR tool are three-dimensional models and (2) the high …

Health Information Design Model (Hidem): A Replicable Model Of The Design Process For Data-Intensive Applications In Health Informatics, Antonio Solano, Miso Kim
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Genetic and healthcare data have experienced an explosion in the last decade and with it, a deluge of new and cutting-edge research as well as digital tools and software. However, visualizing and working with such large amounts of information also poses organizational challenges in transdisciplinary collaboration between scientific domain experts and design professionals. We propose Health Information Design Model (HIDeM), a collaborative process model with a novel series of principles and activities that tackle the specific nature of digital, data-intensive products for scientific research while considering different organizational contexts. The model was developed in collaboration with several domain experts in …
Involving Craft Know-How And Traditions In Design Education: Cases Of Switzerland, Turkey And India, Bettina Minder, Özlem Er, Shilpa Das
Involving Craft Know-How And Traditions In Design Education: Cases Of Switzerland, Turkey And India, Bettina Minder, Özlem Er, Shilpa Das
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The design profession evolved during technologically transformative times of industrialization. While the requirements of mass production have been the major paradigm shaping the nature of industrial design education in industrialised countries, developing countries also embraced it despite their late and peculiar processes of industrialisation. The idea was that the industrial sectors in these countries would also need industrial designers who are able to design products for mass production. This, in turn, caused the ignorance of crafts or at best the view to keep them as a source of product ideas that would appeal to tourists or export markets looking for …
User Research To Design A More-Than-Human Food Commons, Justin Sacks
User Research To Design A More-Than-Human Food Commons, Justin Sacks
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The way humans approach food systems not only affects our survival but also creates or destroys futures for humans and nonhuman species alike. Rooted in a rights-based approach, food as a commons offers an important and robust economic alternative to food as a commodity. The commons literature also struggles with anthropocentrism, however, particularly the recognized analytical frameworks used by scholars that classify nonhuman nature as inputs. How can user research tools support communities to create a more-than-human food commons that treats nonhuman nature as equal actants? This paper responds to this question by adapting two user research tools to support …
