Designing Therapeutic And Social Spaces For Older Adults Facing Mild Cognitive Impairment: Priorities In Spatial And Furniture Layout, Valentina Da Rosa, Machry Herminia, Leandro M. Tonetto
IASDR Conference Series
Mild Cognitive impairment (MCI) is the stage between healthy cognitive functioning and Dementia, in which individuals still live independently at home but develop difficulties related to memory, executive functioning, and decision-making. MCI is mainly managed with therapeutic activities such as physical exercise, cognitive training, nutrition, and occupational therapies. While individuals living with MCI tend to isolate themselves, social interactions are known for their potential to slow or interrupt cognitive decline, being an important therapeutic component for MCI. Previous studies show how the built environment affects social interactions for Dementia patients living in residential care facilities, specifically through the layout of …

Responsible Tourism Experiences: Designing Solutions To Improve Communities-Based Tourism Services From Global To Local Scale., Valentina Facoetti
IASDR Conference Series
In recent decades the tourism sector has undergone multiple evolutions, due to its dynamic and complex nature. While globalised mass tourism characterised the demand for tourism in the 20th century, in the new millennium this demand is significantly stronger and diversified, induced also by the emergence of new information technologies, greater ease of travel and the increase in the supply of affordable accommodation (Gainsforth, 2020). Despite the positive impact on economic development, increased tourism consumption has led to the exploitation of natural and local resources causing damage to the environment and host communities (Fragidis et. al, 2022). The COVID-19 pandemic …

Fictional Brand Design. Evolution, Strategies, And An Attempt To A History Of Visual Identities In Audiovisual Narratives., Francesco E. Guida, Lorenzo Bernini
IASDR Conference Series
Brands tell stories to affirm their values, positioning, and identity. They tell stories that allow people to recognise themselves in them, to share them, to feel part of them. That occurs in the real world as in the world of fiction. The term fictional branding refers to the design and use of brands that do not refer to any existing service, product, company or organisation. They can include any brand referring to products or commercial services, political institutions, military organisations, and more. This paper aims to offer a comprehensive look at the topic through historical and theoretical research and analyse …
User Decision Making For End Of Use Product: Exploring The Reasons For Keeping And Care Motivations For Responsible Sharing, Yoon Jung Choi
User Decision Making For End Of Use Product: Exploring The Reasons For Keeping And Care Motivations For Responsible Sharing, Yoon Jung Choi
IASDR Conference Series
Users' decision to care for end-of-use products and share them with other users or return them to the manufacturer offers the potential to extend a product's lifespan and material circulation. Applying the theory of care practice in the design process for product detachment has potential implications for sustainable design and can increase the efficiency of resources. This paper presents the findings of a survey of 257 hibernating end-of-use products and interviews with ten families who have experience moving houses. The survey explored product ownership and reasons for keeping end-of-use products. Two types of lingering attachment have been identified that suggest …

Threshold Space Design: Using Water Element For Phase Transition From Physical Space To Virtual Space With Different Law Of Gravity, Jungryun Kwon, Eui-Chul Jung
IASDR Conference Series
This study focuses on exploring the transition stage between physical and virtual space by considering the difference in law of gravity between physical and virtual environments. The concept of Threshold Space design is a series of transition stages which can be utilized to enhance the virtual reality (VR) experience. Unlike most VR researches, which primarily focuses on head-mounted displays (HMD), this study examines the user's perception between physical space and virtual space. The Threshold Space design method allows users to experience the upcoming stage in advance. More than a simple intermediate space, it addresses confusion and disorientation in VR that …
Shifting Identities: New Materialities Of Power And Control, Joaquin Santuber, Pablo Hermansen
Shifting Identities: New Materialities Of Power And Control, Joaquin Santuber, Pablo Hermansen
IASDR Conference Series
Identities, as the materialities that produce them, are changing with the translation of analogue methods of individualization into digital ones. In 2020, with the mobility restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, private and public services moved online performing new forms of identities. From in-person interactions, we —users— were reduced to pixels and data objects which constituted our digital identities: a username, a password, and a profile picture. In Shifting identities, we analyse these changes in an iconic context in the history of identities: a court of justice. Traditionally, a courtroom was a space to perform the authority of the State—a …

Understanding The Relationship Between In-Car Agent’S Embodiments And Information With Different Criticality, Bonhee Ku, Hyungjun Cho, Tek-Jin Nam
IASDR Conference Series
As the infotainment system in cars has advanced, drivers now receive a wide range of information from agents while driving. However, despite the diversity of roles and types of information, the embodiment of the agent delivering the information remains unified. Therefore, we sought to understand the needs for different types of information and their correlation with an embodiment. To achieve this, we created four embodiment prototypes within a car model ‘Sound without Visual Embodiment’, ‘Sound and (Abstract) Graphic Embodiment’, ‘Sound and (Characterized) Graphic Embodiment’, ‘Sound and (Characterized) Graphic and (Characterized) Physical Embodiment’ and conducted a user experience evaluation with 12 …

IASDR Conference Series
Designer's position and authority have long been challenged. However, “Design” has only recently stated responsibility for its direct impact on social structures (Escobar, 2017; Fry, 1999; Maze, 2019). Among many new “Designs”, there is an emerging decolonizing design movement in which members pursue ontological change rather than additive diversifying measures that would only uphold and sustain colonial institutions and systems. This paper focuses on design critiques related to Design’s ability to perpetuate coloniality. Starting from our lived experiences, we expand on how Design alienates different worldviews by promoting, appropriating, and erasing the subaltern population. Following that, we present our methodological …

Urbanization has been a regular feature of demographic and environmental change in New Zealand for over 70 years. Urban design and development are foundational processes in this trend, accounting for population densification as well as the erosion of mature ecosystems. In Auckland, urban development has resulted in a 30% loss of green space, and continues to present significant challenges for preserving natural and cultural heritage. This pictorial uses Te Pātaka Art Trail as a case study in pluriversal design research. Following Escobar (2018), this project provided the opportunity to rethink community in relation to urban development pressures in the city. …
The Full And The Empty. A Dialogue Between Chinese Painting And Design, Estelle Berger, Dominique Christian
The Full And The Empty. A Dialogue Between Chinese Painting And Design, Estelle Berger, Dominique Christian
IASDR Conference Series
This pictorial paper stages the generative dialogue between a designer-researcher-teacher and a philosopher-teacher-painter in the Chinese tradition. Through cultural decentring and exchange of perspectives, we aim at questioning designers’ posture. More specifically, the polarities of “empty” and “full” are used to discuss the sense of authorship, and the balance between engagement and letting go in practice. The paintings that punctuate the text are neither used as simple illustrations nor as achievements, they constitute another type of narrative thread in our dialogue, that we hope will trigger readers’ sensitivity, reflection, and action.

Towards A Design Toolkit For Exploring And Specifying Close-Proximity Human-Robot Collaboration As Leader And Follower: The Case Of Collaborative Drawing, Yi Zhao, Lian Loke, Dagmar Reinhardt
IASDR Conference Series
Close-proximity human-robot collaboration (HRC) refers to scenarios where humans and robots work together for the same aim at the same time and space without safety fence. Few design tools currently exist to assist designers to think through how to design human-robot interactions, with a focus on turn-taking, coordination, and flow of intention. We present a design toolkit for designers to explore, specify, analyse and document the unfolding interaction between human(s) and robot(s) through a model of interaction where the roles of leader and follower shape the forms of collaborative behaviour. We illustrate our design toolkit in action and demonstrate how …

Shapechips: Value Formation In Material Ecosystem Using Buffer Materials Generated From Wood Chips, Kazzmasa Tsujimura, Taijiro Ishiko, Yasuaki Kakehi
IASDR Conference Series
When discussing material circulation, there needs to be more focus on exploring ways professionals or users can create additional value by using the waste they generate. In this pictorial, we will discuss the potential of an autonomous ecosystem where waste material generators can proactively form a material circulation. Specifically, we focus on the production of a woodworker and the wood waste generated in the production process and then propose a “buffer material as a craft” developed through material tinkering by a designer we collaborated with to explore ways to reuse the wood waste. The proposed buffer materials allows the woodworker …

Automated and connected technologies are increasingly present in everyday life. The concept of co-performance offers a new perspective on artificial agency by understanding artifacts as capable of performing everyday practices next to people. In this pictorial we adopt a lens informed by co-perfor- mance, and propose the visual vocabulary of the screenplay as a novel way to represent and annotate co-performances. We highlight conflicts and how they are they are resolved through the enactment of new interfaces in-use. We visually represent and annotate scenes found in data from a study of households living with smart technologies. Using this visual vocabulary …
