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 …

Towards A Framework For Innovation In Craft-Design Practices., Anooja J., Vibhavari Kumar
IASDR Conference Series
A transition in human thought and behavior was brought about by the Industrial Revolution in the middle of the 18th century, which increasingly replaced handcrafted industries with mass manufacturing of goods and services. In a nation like India, the majority of the rural population still relies on labor-intensive, widely scattered handicrafts. The second most important component of the country's tradition, both culturally and economically, is handicrafts, after agriculture. Since the beginning of the 1980’s there have been efforts to revive handicrafts, and many initiatives were formulated to support artisans by imparting training workshops in craft. But considering the current scenario, …

Ideal Model And Everyday Life: Interior Decoration Of The Modern Home In Early Twentieth-Century Shanghai, Yihan Wang, Xiaomo Wang
Ideal Model And Everyday Life: Interior Decoration Of The Modern Home In Early Twentieth-Century Shanghai, Yihan Wang, Xiaomo Wang
IASDR Conference Series
In early twentieth-century Shanghai, numerous journals articulated how to beautify homes to be modern, and the eponymous monograph Modern Home Decoration published in 1933. These publications regarded the ‘Western-style’ house as a model to shape and disseminate the ideal imagination of the ‘modern home’. This article uses the case of the press literature to chart the specific principles of modern home decoration. It compares the ideal model to lived experience, pinpointing the chasm between ideal imagination and everyday life. It then explains the causes of difference, arguing that it showed the specific responses of Chinese intellectuals to the political failure. …

Living The Life: Evidence-Based Design And Evaluation Of Psychosocial Interventions With People With Dementia, Kristina Niedderer, Pui Ling Fung
IASDR Conference Series
Design is increasingly recognised as an important means to create and deliver psychosocial interventions for people living with early to mid-stage dementia to help manage impacts on cognitive and psychosocial health. Managing them is important, especially for people with a recent diagnosis, who may live 10 or more years and who want to live well. However, interventions often lack a sound evidence base, both in terms of designing as well as evaluation. This paper argues for the need to promote and further evidence-based designing and evaluation, using the example of the Living the Life mindful-reflective booklet, an evidence-based, self-administered psychosocial …

Ontological Design Approach For Alternative Soil-Human Relations, Taku Onozato, Hiroto Okuda, Dajiro Mizuno
IASDR Conference Series
Design for Sustainability has expanded to systemic issues, now discussed alongside complex, comprehensive design theories. Designs for the Pluriverse, based on Transition Design, advocates an ontological shift from dualistic environmental perceptions. Unlike dualistic approaches, ontological designs focus on the "relationality" of building relationships between objects and things. This study aims to explore designs promoting relational understanding of materials from a Relational Ontology perspective. The authors try designing soil ontology in urban ecosystems, considering relationship building with soil in the median strip through dematerialization/rematerialization approaches. The study is grounded in ontological design's theoretical framework, emphasizing knowledge production through the design practice. …

The Lonely Island: A Design Game To Explore Loneliness Through Co-Creation., Mads Bärenholdt
The Lonely Island: A Design Game To Explore Loneliness Through Co-Creation., Mads Bärenholdt
IASDR Conference Series
Loneliness is an increasingly prevalent societal issue often associated with reduced well-being. Unpleasant feelings characterise the subjective experience of loneliness. However, research tends to focus more on health-related aspects rather than exploring what it means to live with loneliness and participate in everyday life, particularly for young adults. This paper examines a co-designing approach that empowers young adults to express their perspectives on loneliness and its impact on their lives. By highlighting the lived experiences of those affected by loneliness, we can better understand how to address and design for this significant societal problem.

Looking For The True Nature Of Academic Research On Design: A Systematic Review Of 27 Phd Theses, Samuel Danzon-Chambaud, Rose Dumesny
IASDR Conference Series
The launch of PhD programs in design constitutes yet another milestone that helped settle the field as an academic discipline of its own. As the line between scholarly research on design and design practice can sometimes be perceived as being thin, we believe these theses may hold some truth as to what is making them distinct from each other. To look—so to speak—for the key tenets of academic research on design, we retrieved almost 7,000 references off 27 dissertations, to see which authors were the most cited. We then reflected on the significations it bears. We found that, often, scholarly …

Tracking Acts Of Kindness Through Comics: An Experimental Study, Raven Serenity Glover, Yvette Shen
IASDR Conference Series
This study explores the effectiveness of using comics as a medium to track personal behavioral data, focusing on acts of kindness. Through a prototype-based examination of digitally assembled comics, the findings demonstrate that comics offer a unique communication method that enables the integration of narrative elements into the flow of behavioral data. This integration not only provides coherence and context to qualitative data but also allows for the visualization of spatial-temporal details, presenting data in a personal and meaningful manner. However, user evaluation results suggest that the prototype did not provide an ideal platform for sustainable interactive experiences. Future study …
