In-Between The Wind, Victoria L. Vontz

LSU Master's Theses

In-between the Wind is a compilation of poems, short stories, theories, photographs, and drawings that reveal my relationship and connection with nature. Through prose, I expose and question my place in the world, how I see it and how I am connected to it, while photographic images and drawings leave space for thoughtful and reflective meditation. The work draws upon memories, discusses theories of connection, and aims to record ephemeral moments that often seem to be too easily forgotten.

A Midsummer Night’S Vr: An Exploration Of Virtual Reality Theater, Paige Hann, Nathan Roberts

The Yale Undergraduate Research Journal

Virtual reality (VR) is a medium predicated on immersivity. It therefore has implications for a similarly immersive field – live theater. The benefits of live theater are numerous. However, not everyone has the same access to theater for a variety of reasons, including cost and mental and physical health. Could VR serve as a legitimate alternative to live theater? Investigating this question, we utilized the resources of the Yale’s CCAM to create a virtual reality adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare. Research shows that our brains process VR differently from either real-world stimulus or two-dimensional monitors. VR …

Theme - The Peel-To-Cup Orange Juice Bar

SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

Putting together a fresh meal from scratch adds so much to its taste, and gives a warm satisfactory afterglow. In the future, can we also anticipate making the crockery and cutlery on demand to accompany these meals? Some designers in Italy certainly think so.

Theme - The Multi-Sensory Language Of Life

SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

The perfect meal is not only what is on your plate, it is an experience, one that can be heightened or diminished by the circumstances in which it is consumed. This is fertile ground for design to help rethink our understanding of what constitutes food, and the ways we should be engaging with it.

Theme - Future Fruit Inspired By The Original

SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

Theme - Rethinking The Everyday: Food Non Food

SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

Food is not more than just something we put into our mouths. Food is a bridge between people, places, human world and the rest of the living things on the planet. By casting a design mind set onto the basic act of sustaining human life, we can gain fresh perspectives on how food is both driving change, and being forced to change by wider developments in society and the environment.

Between Yarn And Electrons: A Method For Designing Textural Expressions In Electromagnetic Smart Textiles, Erin Lewis

Nordes Conference Series

The design of smart textiles presents a discrepancy of scale where the designer works at the level of structural textile design while facets of the material express at scales beyond one’s senses. Without methods to narrow this gap, certain expressional domains of the textile are closed off from design possibilities. The aim of the research has been to design a method for observing, visualizing, and describing expressions of electromagnetism in textiles. Through a method of textile surface scanning, one can produce a visualization of its electromagnetic field. Woven textile samples observed through this method reveal a textural quality that exists …

Rethinking Food: Co-Creating Citizen Science For Sustainability Transitions, Danielle Wilde, Anna Lena Hupe, Sarah Trahan, Caroline Guinita Abel, Solvejg Kjærsgaard Longueval, Corey Mclaughlin

Nordes Conference Series

Transforming human food practices to be more sustainable is not straightforward. The human food system and international sustainability advice are both global in scope. Whereas food practices are locally situated and personal. ReThinking Food grapples with this challenge, using co-creative citizen science and the Future 50 Foods Report. The research involves cooking with; sharing food, recipes and stories; surveys, interviews, online and in-person activities. Through these actions, participants exchange knowledges with the food, their families and each other; become agents of change in their social groups and workplaces. They enact agency, shifting scales from human to nonhuman; near to far; …

Attempting To Resist Ontological Occupation When Designing For Scale In Healthcare, Josina Vink, Felicia Nilsson, Thiago Freitas, Shivani Prakash

Nordes Conference Series

Scholars have recently called out how design is complicit in ontological occupation, where one reality makes other realities non-existent. The perpetuation of ontological occupation is a particular risk when designing for scale in healthcare, as Western healthcare is a recognized carrier of modern universalist practices that threaten local ways of caring. In this research, we draw from science and technology studies and anthropology to inform a research through design study positioned within a collective effort to scaleup decentralized care models in Norway. We analyse five attempts at resisting ontological occupation through design and, by doing so, contribute with lessons for …

Rethinking Scale – Relationality, Place, And Critical Zone, Ole Jensen

Nordes Conference Series

Scale is an important concept. It works in geography, architecture, urbanism and a number of other areas. It also works in the ‘real world’ of humans where it organizes societies and fuel politics. Scale gather people in collectives, as well as it works a political force for pitting them against one another. Hence scale is far from neutral. In this paper, we want to critically challenge an understanding of scale as something fixed, structural, obdurate, and ordered. Rather we encourage a thinking of scale as something related to fluidity, mobility, networks, and continuums. Rethinking scale along these lines is important …

Critical Proximities, Henrik Oxvig

Nordes Conference Series

In the field of architecture work with scale has traditionally been used to suppress the importance of size. Axes have been planned with a birds eye view such as is given by a plan on a drawing board. Today this ‘god trick’ is challenged by the awareness that we must work from within the material world, not upon it. We must create situated knowledge – and situated architecture – in what is called The Critical Zone and which we can only experience, understand and work with embedded, immanently. This article presents and elaborates on the challenges outlined to suggest how …

Exploring Implications For Designing For Sociotechnical Transitions: Taking Reflexivity As A Matter Of Scale, Peng Lu, Daniela Sangiorgi

Nordes Conference Series

There is increasing interest of design for paradigmatic and sociotechnical changes, in which the significance of actor is recognized. However, design studies that aim to connect actors at the micro level and sociotechnical systems at the macro level is limited. Based on institutional theory in sociotechnical theory, this paper proposes reflexivity as a useful concept to be associated with matters of scale in Design. Based on literature review, we explore the ways “cultivating reflexivity” has been applied in critical design, norm creative innovation and service ecosystem design. This preliminary work seems to suggest an evolution in the application of reflexivity, …

Counter-Framing Design: Politics Of The 'New Normal', Sharon Prendeville, Pandora Syperek

Nordes Conference Series

In this paper, we introduce the concept of counterframes in relation to discourses of sustainability, and elaborate on it in correspondence with participatory design practices. We present our analysis through the lens of the ‘new normal’ in the wake of the pandemic, to demonstrate and unpack the complex and conflictual nature of emergent frames and counter-frame debates, evident within the field of sustainability. The paper draws on participatory activities and interviews with social movements and grassroots organisations. We present initial reflections on the ways in which design can productively engage with and address counter-frames, as they both fill in and …

Envisioning Large-Scale Effects Of Teaching Values In Design, Anne Linda Kok, Eva Eriksson, Elisabet Nilsson

Nordes Conference Series

In teaching, there is an increased awareness about the role that values play in design. In this paper, we envision potential large-scale effects of teaching values in design in higher education. In doing so, we practice what we preach, as we ourselves perform the envisioning method we normally teach our students. By applying this method to our teaching, we are scaling up the definition of “learning outcomes” from classroom-level results to societal outcomes. Specifically, we envision these potential outcomes by creating value scenarios on the basis of four topics – stakeholders, time, values, and pervasiveness. The contribution of this paper …

Fibre, Fabric, And Form: Embedding Transformative Three-Dimensionality In Weaving, Kathryn Walters

Nordes Conference Series

Textiles, and textile objects, no matter their scale, retain traces within their expression of the finescale fibre or yarn from which they are formed. Woven textile forms are typically constructed using hierarchical cut-and-assemble techniques, where the expression at the fibre-scale may be subsumed by that of the dominant form expression. Through experimental design research, a framework for designing non-hierarchical woven textiles has been developed, which navigates between 2D and 3D thinking and micro- and macro-scale design elements. This framework is contextualised through three methods for embedding three-dimensional form in a textile as it is woven: Catenary Structure, Tension Folds, and …
