Using Living Labs To Engage Communities And Stakeholders In The Development And Knowledge Exchange Of Urban Health And Sanitation Solutions In The Global South, Emmanuel Tsekleves, Roger Pickup, Manoj Roy Jun 2024

Using Living Labs To Engage Communities And Stakeholders In The Development And Knowledge Exchange Of Urban Health And Sanitation Solutions In The Global South, Emmanuel Tsekleves, Roger Pickup, Manoj Roy

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Engaging communities and stakeholders in developing user-centred urban health solutions, whilst linking the research to their own development, pose major challenges for design researchers working in the Global South. In a number of circular sanitation projects in a community school in Ghana, we co-designed and installed an anaerobic digester delivering electricity and sanitation improvements. To enhance impact we developed and pilot-tested a Living and physical Lab design approach. One project focussed on hand hygiene. We introduced students to ‘making the invisible visible’ by visualising microbes from their hands and assessing handwashing effects. Our findings suggest that visualisation of microbes not …


Infrastructuring Sustainable Food Futures: A Case Study In Collaborative Innovation For Circular Seafood, Emmanuel Tsekleves, Serena Pollastri Jun 2024

Infrastructuring Sustainable Food Futures: A Case Study In Collaborative Innovation For Circular Seafood, Emmanuel Tsekleves, Serena Pollastri

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Transitioning to a circular economy requires transforming practices across the Ready-to-cook product value chains through shared knowledge. However, generalised solutions rarely succeed, but must be tailored to each context. This study explores using participatory design-informed “infrastructuring” to collaboratively develop novel methods tailored to stakeholders’ existing practices. The Seafood AGE project serves as a case study. We developed two remote, distributed facilitation methods using accessible digital platforms. These engage stakeholders in mapping current practices, analysing responses to speculative fish products, and exploring feasibility of prototypical circular approaches. Key findings demonstrate the potential of co-creative infrastructuring to bridge design research and industry. …


Healing Our Designing: Practices Of Care For Human And More-Than-Human Relations, Marysol Ortega Pallanez Jun 2024

Healing Our Designing: Practices Of Care For Human And More-Than-Human Relations, Marysol Ortega Pallanez

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Ongoing socio-ecological damages stem from dominant design practices rooted in modernist, capitalist ideologies that exploit nature. If we, designers, aim to contribute to healing the web of life, our practices also need healing. Seeking an alternative paradigm to problem-driven design, this article narrates my journey to embrace a paradigm of relation-caring that encompasses humans and more-than-humans. Drawing upon experiences with fellow embroiderers in Hermosillo, Mexico, I present two everyday design practices that explore women-plant relations in the desert: 1) cultivating relationships by embroidery of memories, presents, and futures with plants; and 2) infusing diálogo de saberes (wisdom dialogues) with embodied …


Design Terroir: An Eco-Social, Relational, Bioregional Approach To Design, Adrien Rigobello, Joshua David Evans Jun 2024

Design Terroir: An Eco-Social, Relational, Bioregional Approach To Design, Adrien Rigobello, Joshua David Evans

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Design practices grounded in the modernist yearning for universalism have often been oblivious to forms of local knowledge, and the situated webs of relations, among humans and with other species, they emerge from. In response to the destructive effects of this inattention, growing research has established that ecology and society must be considered together to ensure fair and resilient development. Here, we develop the concept of ‘design terroir’ to describe existing forms of eco-social design and help designers theorise and realise work that contributes to a relational bioregionalist approach. To inform this description, we extend considerations within the food domain …


Fostering Pluriversal Perspectives In Theory Of Change: A Case Of An Urban Regeneration Project, Hadas Zohar, Luca Simeone, Nicola Morelli, Amalia De Götzen Jun 2024

Fostering Pluriversal Perspectives In Theory Of Change: A Case Of An Urban Regeneration Project, Hadas Zohar, Luca Simeone, Nicola Morelli, Amalia De Götzen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper chronicles how we used a Theory of Change visual map to support pluriversal perspectives in urban regeneration projects. The map was tested in four cities under regeneration as part of the T-Factor project. Unlike most Theory of Change maps, it supported city stakeholders in three main aspects: 1) planning interventions to operate within multiple time horizons, 2) considering multiple actors, both human and non-human, in the decision-making process, and 3) reflecting on planned interventions to ensure a long-term impact beyond project scope. In addition, the Theory of Change map led towards a new approach for portfolio-based interventions in …

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The 6th Assessment Report (2021) claims that the most ambitious threshold of the Paris climate agreement will be reached and exceeded by 2040: climate change and climate diplomacy do not coincide. The adaptation and mitigation failure indicates a certain increase in inequalities at the intra-state and global levels and substantial economic damage. Design for Balance stimulates the reimagination of our productive, technological, societal and cultural systems, moving away from compensation strategies, which focus on balancing their negative impacts, to embrace systemic change, which focuses on establishing new balance within their components. Design principles, processes and competences have highly contributed to …


Translational Design: Enabling Impact In Complex, Multi-Stakeholder Research Projects Through Design, Rowan Christopher Page, Rosie Hornbuckle, Leah Heiss, André Nogueira Jun 2024

Translational Design: Enabling Impact In Complex, Multi-Stakeholder Research Projects Through Design, Rowan Christopher Page, Rosie Hornbuckle, Leah Heiss, André Nogueira

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Translational research converts the knowledge generated through basic research into tangible innovations, solutions, and interventions that directly impact people and the planet. As universities increasingly seek to maximise research impact, the applied, action-oriented, epistemology of design is well-positioned to support translational research. Successful translation requires strong communication and collaboration between different disciplines, industry partners, policy, and research end-users. Multi-stakeholder collaborations foster holistic approaches, leading to more effective and contextually relevant solutions. Designers are well-positioned to facilitate complex entanglements, integrating the needs and values of diverse perspectives. However, the emerging role of design as an enabler of translational research needs to …


Polyphonic Speculations, David Philip Green, Spyros Bofylatos, Mayane Dore, Veronica Ranner Jun 2024

Polyphonic Speculations, David Philip Green, Spyros Bofylatos, Mayane Dore, Veronica Ranner

DRS Biennial Conference Series

'Polyphonic Speculations' unites plurality and possibility; two powerful concepts for Design Research. 'Polyphony,' in the Bakhtinian sense, encourages a dynamic, dialogical interplay of voices, viewpoints, and ideologies. Different perspectives, positions, politics. Different values, ethics, aesthetics. Multiple forms, multiple disciplines, even multiple identities. While ‘Speculation' alludes to what we don't know about the future, the present, or the past, here it recognises plurality in the rich histories of speculative design research, multiple interpretations of the present, and a multiplicity of possible futures. As a practical apparatus, Green et al (2023) refer to Polyphonic Speculation as, “a tool for collectively speculating in …

Design For Manufacturing: Rehumanising Digital Manufacturing, Mersha Aftab, Rebecca Grant, Mey Goh Goh, Iryna Yesseyeva

DRS Biennial Conference Series

What role is design research playing in the re-humanisation of digital manufacturing? This theme track aims to bring transdisciplinary researchers together, looking at how design explores, supports, and leads digital transformation within the manufacturing sectors worldwide to be more people-centred. Design research significantly contributes to digital transformation within the private and public sectors. Regarding manufacturing, existing literature provides measurable readiness levels, such as the technology readiness index (TRI) (Parasuraman, 2000; Parasuraman & Colby, 2015; Tsikriktsis, 2004) or the Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs). However, these models do not consider people and their perceived efficacy for new technologies. Design research and human-centred …

Editorial: Language In Design, Senthil Chandrasegaran, Tania Allen, Sara Queen, Peter Lloyd

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The role of language is central to the practice of designing, though our understanding of this role has evolved from more formal-language representations to more natural-language representations. Language plays a central and critical role in all aspects of design including: collaboration, problem understanding and framing, modelling, decision-making, creativity, and marketing. With textual data relating to design widely available, and recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI), we are poised at an interesting stage in our understanding of the role of language in designing. The last few years have seen what is being called a Cambrian Explosion in large language models (LLMs) …

There is a growing interest in the new design field, play design. By applying qualities from play, play design can help create opportunities to meet an unknown future with curiosity, empowering designers to make decisions and to keep a shared hope. As a fundamental aspect of human existence, play has been a source of expression, social interaction, and transformative growth across various cultures for thousands of years. Play design can connect and transform us to keep imagining and reimagining the future - together. In this theme track we explore the transformative power of play and how play design and designers …

Systemic Citizens: Equity, Power, And Relational Autonomy, Cecilia Landa-Avila, Shichao Zhao, Sine Celik, Pushpi Bagchi, Nicolai Brodersen Hansen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Citizen-led design approaches enable spaces for communities to explore and negotiate their priorities into actionable strategies. Digital technologies have played a paramount role in encouraging them to have a stronger voice in public services, local democracy and their wellbeing. However, these approaches might exacerbate barriers to equity and just participation. Moreover, in some domains (e.g., education, healthcare or urban planning), those stakeholders that "hold the power" are reluctant to partake in genuine participatory approaches. Given this situation, systemic design can transform citizen engagement practices to strengthen the connectedness among citizens and create awareness of the relational attributes of societal issues. …

New, ongoing, and unremitting urgencies are aggregating at a furious rate – climate, inequality, populism, poverty, artificial intelligence, and unchecked capitalism. This uncertainty is daunting, but as bell hooks reminds us, “[t]he classroom, with all its limitations, remains a location of possibility” (1994: 207). The DRS EdSIG invites contributions that explore design education and its limitations and possibilities in the following ways: Resisting Education / The Education of Resistance What forms of design education should be resisted? How has design education been complicit in supporting existing orders? / What does it mean to educate future designers and design researchers for …

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Experiential Knowledge Special Interest Group (EKSIG) focusses on the understanding of ‘knowledge’ and ‘contribution to knowledge’ in design research, especially in the areas where designing forms part of the research process. The EKSIG strand at DRS2024 takes a closer look at the new and changing materiality of design practice that we, designers, face, due to digitalization and its challenges and benefits. Several areas of design practice and research involve processes of making things. More often such processes unfold in a hybrid form combining both making by hand and with tools, both analogue and digital. This year’s EKSIG strand focusses on …
