DRS Biennial Conference Series

The urgency of crises in planetary health—climate, biodiversity loss, inequality, and others—has made design’s role in transformative change ever-more important in the pursuit of sustainable, just and resilient futures. Arising from distinct disciplinary traditions within academia, design, futures, transitions, sustainability science and allied approaches (with their own norms, frameworks, and methods) are increasingly converging. Emerging from this space are new configurations and integrations, especially in practical applications where policymakers, communities, businesses, and new forms of organisation are engaging with challenges we face—often situated and local, but interdependent within complex systems of society and the environment. In design research, approaches such …


Pluriversal Design As A Paradigm, Renata M. Leitao, Lesley-Ann Noel, Maria Rogal, Nicholas B. Torretta, Juan Montalvan, Sucharita Beniwal, Mariana Fonseca Braga, Dimeji Onafuwa, Maria Cristina Ibarra Jun 2024

Pluriversal Design As A Paradigm, Renata M. Leitao, Lesley-Ann Noel, Maria Rogal, Nicholas B. Torretta, Juan Montalvan, Sucharita Beniwal, Mariana Fonseca Braga, Dimeji Onafuwa, Maria Cristina Ibarra

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The concept of the Pluriverse refers to a world where many worlds fit. But what is pluriversal design? While it has been used as a synonym for initiatives around diversity, equity, and inclusion, this track argues that pluriversal frameworks represent a distinct paradigm — in contrast with the universal design paradigm. These two paradigms, while important in their own right, deal with diversity and plurality in fundamentally different ways. The term ‘universal’ is grounded in the belief that we all live in one single world, with one right (or “developed”) way to live, with a dominant narrative in which the …


Design For Empowerment, Laura Santamaria, Ksenija Kuzmina Jun 2024

Design For Empowerment, Laura Santamaria, Ksenija Kuzmina

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This track aims to explore empowerment as the primary focus of design for social change, and not merely a side effect or an outcome of design activity. While plenty of studies evidence empowerment through design, a more nuanced discussion on the ways in which empowerment by design is planned, achieved and articulated, how and what kind of empowerment is being facilitated through design projects is timely and necessary. These discussions are essential for introducing a critical perspective currently absent in the articulation of empowerment within design for social change. In the design literature, strong voices have emerged advocating for deeper …


What In The World Do We Hear? Understanding Public And Private Spaces Through Soundai, Sara Lenzi, Elif Özcan, Simone Mora, Martina Mazzarello, Aase Haatveit, Fabio Duarte Jun 2024

What In The World Do We Hear? Understanding Public And Private Spaces Through Soundai, Sara Lenzi, Elif Özcan, Simone Mora, Martina Mazzarello, Aase Haatveit, Fabio Duarte

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper reports on the Lab that the authors conducted during the DRS2024 conference. Through novel concepts of "Auditory Footprint," the authors aimed at exploring and highlighting the perceptual and ecological dimensions of sound events in both private and public spaces. During the DRS2024 Lab, multidisciplinary experts explored AI’s capacity to interpret and influence human interactions with soundscapes, proposing speculative-use cases, and addressing challenges such as subjective perception, equitable data collection, and ethical considerations. The findings advocate for a responsible integration of SoundAI technologies, aiming to foster accessibility, environmental awareness, and community well-being, while mitigating risks. Future work will formalize …

Policy Design, Lived Experience, And Speculative Futures, Michael Mintrom, Shanti Sumartojo, Lisa Grocott, Hannah Korsmeyer, Myf Doughty Jun 2024

Policy Design, Lived Experience, And Speculative Futures, Michael Mintrom, Shanti Sumartojo, Lisa Grocott, Hannah Korsmeyer, Myf Doughty

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Good policy design calls for analysis of problems, how they might be addressed, and likely outcomes. Policy scholars and practitioners have devised methods that bring rigor to policy design through problem framing, assessment of potential interventions, and prediction of outcomes of those interventions. This pursuit of analytical and predictive rigor has often given short shrift to the insights of people whose lives are affected by current challenges and who will be impacted by policy change. We consider how lived experience might effectively inform policy design. Our theory of change is that creative engagement with citizens can generate insights of high …


Harmonizing With Nature: Unpacking The Neurophysiological Impacts Of Biophilic Sound In Virtual Classroom Design, Nayeon Kim, John S. Gero, Dawoon Jung Jun 2024

Harmonizing With Nature: Unpacking The Neurophysiological Impacts Of Biophilic Sound In Virtual Classroom Design, Nayeon Kim, John S. Gero, Dawoon Jung

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper presents the results of an experiment on the effects of biophilic sound on electroencephalography (EEG) activations by comparing two virtual classroom designs: one non-biophilic and one biophilic. The results reveal significant inter-hemispheric interactions in theta, alpha, and gamma frequency bands. The presence of biophilic sound in conjunction with other biophilic elements decreases beta power, compared to its absence. These findings underscore the influence of auditory biophilic experiences on neurophysiological responses, providing insights for evidence-based design strategies to enhance biophilic environments.

Flatfold3d: 3d Printing Structures On Fabric To Facilitate Folding Of Pattern Into Wearable Shoes., Yulia Brisson, Eugeni L Doubrovski

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This research paper introduces the FlatFold approach, a novel method for local footwear production that leverages Additive Manufacturing and 3D pattern design. The proposed approach presents a new method that simplifies the footwear production process from around fourteen into five steps, applying Additive Manufacturing to enhance efficiency and minimise waste. The approach also explores the use of printed patterns on fabrics, facilitating and guiding manual folding of planar patterns into shoes and allowing for detailed and customizable designs. Furthermore, the research explores different filament attachment techniques to ensure reliable integration with textiles, promoting the creation of complex shapes in footwear …


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

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 …
