Designing For Transitions And Transformations, Femke Coops, Caroline Hummels, Kees Dorst, Bruce Evan Goldstein, Derk Loorbach, İdil Gaziulusoy Jun 2022

Designing For Transitions And Transformations, Femke Coops, Caroline Hummels, Kees Dorst, Bruce Evan Goldstein, Derk Loorbach, İdil Gaziulusoy

DRS Biennial Conference Series

When looking at society, we see transformative change happening as governments, businesses and citizens all try to find their own ways to address the challenges of sustainability. We postulate that these challenges require new radical design approaches and interventions that can unleash the capacity to achieve desired futures, rather than going round in circles and muddling through in our current systems and leaving the underlying challenges untouched. In this conversation, we’ve explored how design can evoke sustainable and just transitions and transformations, with experts working in these fields.

Who Designs For Policy?, Federico Vaz, Sofía Bosch Gomez Jun 2022

Who Designs For Policy?, Federico Vaz, Sofía Bosch Gomez

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This conversation asked participants to inquire about the skills and compe- tencies of those engaging in the practice of design for policy. We discussed the profes- sional background and training of people currently working as ‘policy designers’ and the knowledge and abilities these designers contribute when developing and imple- menting public policies, services, and governance. Likewise, we aimed to bring to- gether practitioners and researchers to debate the implications of creating specific dis- ciplinary profiles and how this can shape career paths within public administration. During the conversation, participants offered a set of mindsets, skills, and knowledge that they deemed …

Is Inclusive Design Failing Inclusion? Identifying The Dilemmas At The Core Philosophy And Practices Of Inclusive Design, Luka Kille-Speckter, Farnaz Nickpour Jun 2022

Is Inclusive Design Failing Inclusion? Identifying The Dilemmas At The Core Philosophy And Practices Of Inclusive Design, Luka Kille-Speckter, Farnaz Nickpour

DRS Biennial Conference Series

‘Inclusion’ is aspirationally popular these days, full of complexities, contradictions and compromises. With the rise of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) to the top of societal ‘agenda’, a question worth asking is, are we becoming truly more inclusive, or simply moving towards a version of inclusion which is ‘realistic’, ‘achievable’ and ‘measurable’. What role does Inclusive Design play here and which narrative/s of inclusion is it contributing to? In this conversation, we interrogate the potential paradoxes and dilemmas of Inclusive Design from both a philosophical and a practical point of view. We then ask how these could be categorically captured …

Designing Living Artefacts: Opportunities And Challenges For Biodesign, Raphael Kim, Jiwei Zhou, Eduard Georges Groutars, Elvin Karana Jun 2022

Designing Living Artefacts: Opportunities And Challenges For Biodesign, Raphael Kim, Jiwei Zhou, Eduard Georges Groutars, Elvin Karana

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Biodesign is an emerging form of design practice integrating biological materials and processes, and there is a growing interest in the field for structured conversations to generate insights on how it can be best taught, researched, and disseminated. In our conversations, we began exploring biodesign under the framework of Living Artefacts, in which livingness is prolonged to the use time of artefacts, and understood as a biological, ecological, and experiential phenomenon. Two researchers investigating Living Artefacts, through their short show-and-tell presentations, initiated threads of moderated open discussions. Using the Living Artefacts framework as a departure point, we collectively explored opportunities …

A Marriage In Practice: The Role Of Design Research In The World Of Medical Science, Toban Shadlyn, Leigh Hubbard, Tim Maly, Hannah Dalgish

DRS Biennial Conference Series

For decades, design and medical research have been courting with varying levels of success. Much has been written about the potential of combining design methodologies and medical research in transdisciplinary collaborations (Chauhan et al., 2021; Mishra et al., 2021). The translation of this collaboration from promise to practice can be difficult. Partnerships between design and medical research face dif- ferences regarding how knowledge is produced, exchanged, funded, supported, and deemed successful (Groeneveld et al., 2018). Like any relationship, the two must ne- gotiate hierarchical norms, inharmonious timeframes, and distinctive values. This con- versation led to a robust exchange with designers …

Designing Retail & Services Futures, Katelijn Quartier Jun 2022

Designing Retail & Services Futures, Katelijn Quartier

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Design has been used since the creation of commercial enterprises and it is rec-ognized for its importance of value creation, especially in forming associations with customers. Also in research, design and the value of it has been a subject of study for many years and from many different disciplines (ranging from product design to marketing, business economics, service design, management, environ-mental psychology, (interior)architecture, etc), but in a rather fragmented way, and with each their own research methods. However, recent developments, that have been accelerated by the pandemic, show that in practice services are be-coming a part of retail and vice …

Inclusive Design: Perspectives, Guidance, And Reflections, Hua Dong, Farnaz Nickpour, Chris Mcginley

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This is the introduction to the papers of the Inclusive Design Practice track, DRS2022. The 11 papers were selected from 22 initial submissions for the ‘Inclusive design practice’ and ‘design research for healthy ageing’ tracks. They covered a range of topics relating to inclusive design, so we combined them into one track to give the audience a broad overview. The papers were classified into three groups: perspectives, guidance, and reflections. They demonstrated scholars’ and practitioners’ interpretation of inclusive design in different contexts, knowledge about design principles and good practice, and critical reflection on history, methodology and practice.

Method Of Mapping Interdisciplinary Research And Practice At The Intersection Of Biology And Design, Veronika Kapsali Jun 2022

Method Of Mapping Interdisciplinary Research And Practice At The Intersection Of Biology And Design, Veronika Kapsali

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Ubiquitous, multi-meaning terms used to describe new ideas, finding etc, presents a significant barrier for cross-disciplinary discourse especially between the arts and sciences. The research presented in this paper tackles the problem of terminological disharmony specifically within the process of contextualising creative design practice informed by biological science and/or its applications. The study is implemented in three stages; lexical semantic theories and methods are applied to corpus-based investigations to assess the scope of biologically informed disciplines (BID) terminology; results are analysed using statistical and qualitative methods and mapped against known academic domains; the resulting map is evaluated via the analysis …

Cognitive Challenges In Complex System Design, Mark Andrew Jun 2022

Cognitive Challenges In Complex System Design, Mark Andrew

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Design intentions guide design efforts but complex systems can lead to designers’ intentions being eclipsed. Artificial Intelligence systems are examples of complex sociotechnical systems that exercise self-learning, innovation and creativity that can exceed their designers’ imaginations. This paper’s proposition is that sociotechnical systems design offers scope for improved reliability and is built on three features of current design practice. First, design teams seek cooperative cognition to work together but joint understanding can be impoverished by inadequately understood outcome scenarios. Second, design team collaboration is bounded by innate psychological biases which can influence design decisions. Third, some views of risk in …

Graphic Design And Artificial Intelligence: Interdisciplinary Challenges For Designers In The Search For Research Collaboration, Yaron Meron Jun 2022

Graphic Design And Artificial Intelligence: Interdisciplinary Challenges For Designers In The Search For Research Collaboration, Yaron Meron

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The introduction of electronic publishing, multimedia, the web and social media have influenced and presented challenges for graphic design. Now the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) features within graphic design software enables practitioners to automate many design processes. However, this threatens to deskill the profession and create a second tier of ‘non-professional’ designers, particularly within less creative work that emphasises fast turnover and functional artefact production. Research at the intersection of AI and graphic design has been led by computer scientists. This paper argues, from a designer’s perspective, that a paucity of scholarly engagement by graphic designers with their own …

Developing Play Tarot Cards To Support Playful Learning In Teacher Education, Helle Marie Skovbjerg, Helle Hovgaard Jørgensen, Keila Zarl Perez Quinones, Tilde Bekker

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Via two design-based research experiments, this paper explores how we can design a tool to support designing for playful learning in teacher education. Several recent review studies show that integrating play qualities into a learning context is not always easy. We design a set of tarot cards with the aim of exploring actions in learning situations and play qualities for those specific actions. Our experiments show that using the tarot cards as a way for students and teachers to reflect and come up with further playful learning designs brings in a broader diversity of play qualities, especially qualities that are …

Technologies And Collaborative Services Proximity In The Smart Cities: Distributed Ledger As A Push For New Relationships, Stefania Palmieri, Mario Bisson, Alessandro Ianniello, Riccardo Palomba, Luca Botta

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The expected demographic densification presents specific critical points where op-portunities for improving citizens' lives can be identified. For this reason, projects are underway to analyze and explore the dynamics of cities to adapt to new con-texts. Several European cities, including Milan, Paris, and Barcelona, are already implementing changes to encourage new types of neighborhood organizations which revolve around the concept of proximity, and primary services close to home. In this context, it seems fundamental to seek connectivity, encouraging new forms of relationships between citizens. The use of new digital tools, such as blockchain, favors new types of autonomous organizations that …

Pushing Divergence And Promoting Convergence In A Speculative Design Process: Considerations On The Role Of Ai As A Co-Creation Partner, Luca Simeone, Riccardo Mantelli, Alfredo Adamo Jun 2022

Pushing Divergence And Promoting Convergence In A Speculative Design Process: Considerations On The Role Of Ai As A Co-Creation Partner, Luca Simeone, Riccardo Mantelli, Alfredo Adamo

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Within design research, several studies have looked at Artificial Intelligence as a tool to help ideation processes. However, the potential of using Artificial Intelligence to support a specific characteristic of the design process, namely the interplay between divergent and convergent thinking, remains underexplored. Aiming to address this gap, this paper examines how 136 students interacted with Artificial Intelligence on the occasion of two courses run by the authors in a prominent European design school.

Beyond Progress: Exploring Alternative Trajectories For Design Museums, Anja Neidhardt, Heather Wiltse, Anna Croon Jun 2022

Beyond Progress: Exploring Alternative Trajectories For Design Museums, Anja Neidhardt, Heather Wiltse, Anna Croon

DRS Biennial Conference Series

How can design museums be disentangled from systems like patriarchy, so that they become able to support change towards more justice? To explore this question, we use our standpoint as design researchers in combination with a feminist perspective. Historically, most design museums supported a path of progress which supposedly leads straight from the past into the future. Even though today attempts to change design museums can be observed, criteria for good design and methods for collecting and exhibiting mainly stay unchanged. However, when questioning them, it becomes clear that they were shaped by a white, male, imperialist perspective. Through shifting …

Workgroup Curriculum: Design Students & Teachers Co-Designing New Ways Of Learning, Michael Hohl, Brigitte Hartwig, Uwe Gellert, Klaus Pollmeier, Vanessa Enigk, Tom Gernegross, Lena Kozig

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In this paper we present our ‘workgroup curriculum’, in which a group of dedicated teachers and students work together to devise better ways of learning and teaching to design. Formed in 2018 at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, we work, in voluntary weekly meetings, on developing a more learner centered curriculum and overall learning experience. Our weekly workshops follow a structured approach, crucial however, is that all members encounter one another on an eye level. Roles, such as facilitating, writing minutes, timekeeping, off-topic, are rotated fairly among all participants. Since then the workgroup has resolved small curricular dilemmas while also …

Repair As A Social Design Practice: Three Case Studies In Vulnerable Households In Chile, Pedro Alvarez Caselli, Antonio Batlle Lathrop Jun 2022

Repair As A Social Design Practice: Three Case Studies In Vulnerable Households In Chile, Pedro Alvarez Caselli, Antonio Batlle Lathrop

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The work presented herein addresses the socio-material implications and spontaneous design actions that emerge from the home repair practices of household objects in low-income areas. Through qualitative research and contextual inquiry from the investigation of their praxis (Cross, 2007), we reassess the principles of planned obsolescence associated with product design and throw-away culture. Within the framework of matters of care of non-human devices that are part of a social assembly, a theoretical discussion develops around certain actions; in particular, repairing everyday household objects, as design solutions. The exploratory methodology of this project is based on literature review and on-site case …
