By studying the processes of three textile design students during their weaving course, we investigated the forces and agencies that help overcome or accommodate obstacles by developing solutions. The interview data showed that while learning and advancing a skill, in our case weaving, various obstacles emerge through direct and indirect interactions. By recognizing how to position themselves and build relationalities, students start working with various agencies to develop ways of being with these obstacles. Our findings propose that experiencing obstacles fosters the learning process of students by leading them to actively look for ways of being with other elements while becoming more skillful in their practice.","PeriodicalId":46826,"journal":{"name":"Design Journal","volume":"34 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136346687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the boundaries between them change according to their connections, the design plays a constructive societal role and can help rebuild and reform societies. Through a case study of China’s health code, this study explains how a heterogeneous network in the social design structure assists institutions in actively or passively transforming a digitalized tool to rebuild and rewrite a part of social orders. It can aid human users operating in communities; however, it can also be used by powerful policymakers as an auxiliary tool. The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the conflict between a hierarchical network and a co-acting network. As social issues become more complicated and unpredictable, the design can either help resolve the problem and guide us towards a more open, equal, and coordinated future, or it can do the opposite.","PeriodicalId":46826,"journal":{"name":"Design Journal","volume":"282 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135475213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study is to shed light on how affordances of construction toys influence the play experiences of children, comparing play situations enabled by two different construction sets in a series of play sessions with children aged 5 and 6. The play sessions were recorded and analysed to identify perceived affordances. The study shows that both functional and narrative affordances are important for initiating and maintaining the play experience, and exposes a possible division of narrative affordances in relation to a construction set in instant and latent affordances. A focus on these affordances has potentials for aiding designers to create construction toys that better support children in initiating and maintaining play, and may even offer new perspectives in other design domains.Keywords: Affordancesplaytoysconstructionimagination AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank the children participating in the play sessions, and the institutions involved for their cooperation.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsJesper Falck LegaardJesper Falck Legaard holds a PhD in Experience-based Design.

However, it is unknown how universal design and co-design, as a means of participatory design, can be applied to the architectural design of public buildings. This study aimed to explore stakeholder perceptions and experiences on this topic. As a qualitative study, three workshops were held with 26 people with disabilities, advocates, and design professionals. A phenomenological approach to data analysis was employed. Four major themes emerged: there are challenges to practicing co-design; co-design is inclusive, accessible, and genuine; co-design is planned and embedded in all design stages; and co-design delivers positive outcomes. Findings strongly support participation of people with disabilities in architectural design, highlight challenges and limitations to current practice, and provide insight into factors that optimise outcomes and the experiences of those involved.Keywords: Co-designuniversal designdisabilityarchitecturepublic buildingsparticipatory design AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank all the individuals who generously gave their time and expertise to participate in workshops for this research project.Ethics statementThis study received ethics approval from Deakin University Human Research Ethics Committee (DUHREC) (Project ID: 2019-023).

We examine theoretical premises and design approaches for self-reflection using personal data, and compare them with self-reflection accounts collected from a diary study, in which participants are encouraged to reflect through Focusing on their felt sensations. Based on the analysis of how participants notice, express, question, and respond to their felt senses, we investigate how self-awareness and self-knowledge can be derived from elusive felt sensations and expand the scope of personal data and design for self-reflection. Our findings reveal the gap between theory and practice to design for self-reflection at the limits of biosensing and self-tracking applications, and lead to alternative design propositions for harnessing human senses as personal data for self-reflection.Keywords: self-reflectionself-knowledgepersonal datafelt sensedesign for self-reflection Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsHeekyoung JungHeekyoung Jung is an Associate Professor of Interaction Design in the School of Design at University of Cincinnati.

Worse still, people’s extensive reclamation has caused its constant expansion and invasion, even resulting in serious secondary disasters in people’s lives. There is an urgent need for desert control for the country in terms of ecological sustainability. In the past, models of desert control mainly concerned tree planting and sand fixation. However, these models are predictable, uninteresting, and even difficult. Therefore, through the research of the Malan-Lake project, this paper tries to re-examine the social problem of desert control and introduce innovative exploration from the perspective of Design Thinking. The main contents are as follows: (1) field investigation and problem definition; (2) methodology and the process of concept formation; (3) innovative scheme prototype based on the workshop; (4) innovative practices tests and the future. The aim is to provide new perspectives for desert control.Keywords: desert controlinnovationDesign Thinkingthe Malan-Lake project AcknowledgementsI would like to thank my supervisor Professor Xiangyang Xin and all the team members of the project for their support.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Additional informationFundingThis research was supported by the ‘Postgraduate Research & Practice Innovation Programme of Jiangsu Province’ (Number: KYCX20_1888).Notes on contributorsJianchun ZhuJianchun Zhu is a PhD candidate at the School of Design, Jiangnan University (China).
