{"title":"New Design Knowledge and the Fifth Order of Design","authors":"Marzia Mortati","doi":"10.1162/desi_a_00695","DOIUrl":"10.1162/desi_a_00695","url":null,"abstract":"In this article, I examine the foundations of design knowledge and how they have been disrupted as the design discipline moves progressively away from industrial production. I consider design knowledge as a collection of different cognitive processes for developing artifacts for the human-made world. Adopting David Kolb's (1984, p.38) definition of learning as “the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience,” I discuss the change in design knowledge by examining how the characteristics of designed items have changed. Building on theories by Neri Oxman and Richard Buchanan, I identify relevant areas of design practice in which creativity is breaking free from disciplinary silos to flow between physical, digital, metaphysical, and biological layers. I then propose an updated map of the orders of design as a thinking tool and compass. I read the evolutions of design as it enters the Fifth Order of concerns, characterized by the centrality of data both as input and as output to a design process. Today, design deals with relationships and perceptions; it dialogues with people and all species ranging from machines to micro-organisms, all of which actively participate in reaching objectives. Here, design creates conversations to achieve several goals, including engagement, discovery, and decision making. Finally, I propose a shift in the traditional principles of designing, moving away from the idea of perfect solutions and toward learning systems that are good enough for now.","PeriodicalId":51560,"journal":{"name":"DESIGN ISSUES","volume":"38 4","pages":"21-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/6720221/9931033/09931085.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47798800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that properly understood, Aristotle's notion of a cause, including the final cause, is not in conflict with modern science. Rather, when it comes to understanding living beings as such, all of the four Aristotelian causes are still crucial. We argue that this implies that design research, too, must appeal to the four causes, because artifacts must be understood in terms of the role they play in the life of living beings.","PeriodicalId":51560,"journal":{"name":"DESIGN ISSUES","volume":"38 4","pages":"35-43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49352822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Industrial Craft in Australia: Oral Histories of Creativity and Survival","authors":"D Wood","doi":"10.1162/desi_r_00699","DOIUrl":"10.1162/desi_r_00699","url":null,"abstract":"The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (2020)1 records 190 “Patternmakers (Wood)” and 2,400 “Patternmakers (Plastics and Metal)” in the whole country. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (2016)2 documents 270 engineering patternmakers, and according to Jesse Adams Stein’s observations, this number may diminish to 180 by the time the 2021 census is published (15). Should the design profession care about one of the smallest occupational groups in manufacturing countries around the world? Indeed, it should. Industrial Craft in Australia joins the growing critical discourse that questions—and illuminates the negative consequences of—the designer’s hegemonic place in design. Stein’s book is based on research and recorded interviews. Topics include class and gender, the demise of patternmaking as a result of advancing technology, and the consequences for individual makers. In line with the argument that patternmaking is a craft, Stein documents the creative practices that existed alongside or subsequent to a career in patternmaking. Photographs assist the narrative, and the writing style is eminently accessible. Stein defines industrial craft as “the confluence of refined manual skill and specialist production knowledge in manufacturing processes,” including “manual processes undertaken in the pre-production stage of manufacturing, and in the hand-finishing stages, after machine production” (2). These skills are normally learned over four years of indentured apprenticeship in an industrial manufacturing facility that specializes in trades, such as fitting and turning, toolmaking, or patternmaking. In addition, the apprentice attends classes in technical education. In the heyday of twentieth-century manufacturing in the West, industrial patternmakers were dedicated to hand-making forms for gears, wheels, bearings, and so on that were molded or cast, in sizes that ranged from railway and mining equipment parts to buckles and bobbins. Traditionally the forms were made from timber, requiring patternmakers to develop woodworking skills that enabled precise depiction of minute detail. It was necessary to have knowledge of timber species along with technical drawing, metallurgy and metal contraction, toolmaking, problem solving, visualization, and production planning. Timber forms were used during the burgeoning of plastic products, some of which were small and finicky, for example, pasta or confectionary molds. As the twentieth century progressed, new materials, like epoxy resin, silicone, fiberglass, polystyrene, and aluminum were added to the patternmaker’s resources. This brief description of patternmaking, elucidated in the book’s initial chapters, is merely didactic, because Stein points out that her book is about pattern makers: “their training, the role of class and gender as a structuring force in their working lives, their creative practices and their evolving relationship to technology and the labour market” (3).

The specific goal of this article is to reflect on the meaning behind and the significance of the Issue Mapping Strategy in the exploratory research process of problem finding and discuss challenges encountered in the process of discovery that might lead to invalid topics and thus to design process fallacies. Therefore, this article explores three major areas of concern—places of invention, process of invention and product of invention—where the risk for design process fallacies is greatest. The significance of discovering commonplaces of arguments and the process of reasoning that help to identify issues in problematic situations is discussed and examples are given. The Issue Mapping strategy is useful in all of the cases that focus on problem finding in complex environments and situations of uncertainty in human experience.","PeriodicalId":51560,"journal":{"name":"DESIGN ISSUES","volume":"38 4","pages":"3-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49663373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article introduces a point lattice-based method of visual organization that is derived from Kolam drawings. In it, a point lattice formed by a regularly spaced array of points is used to structure visual compositions, as an alternative to a network of orthogonal lines (also known as the grid). First, I show how the point lattice system is used to structure Kolam drawing compositions, including the lattice's construction, types, and uses. Second, through a formal analysis of such a points system in structuring forms, patterns, letters, and layouts in graphic design, I show that this system offers a whole alternate universe of compositional possibilities that are not apparent when graphic designers see a grid not as points, but as a series of constraining straight lines. Through this research, I look inward into the design ethos and tools present in Indian arts and crafts and present its application in contemporary design practice.","PeriodicalId":51560,"journal":{"name":"DESIGN ISSUES","volume":"38 3","pages":"34-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44132160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, people seem to eat certain food items not despite containing disgust eliciting features but because of them. In this paper, we introduce the term aesthetic disgust to capture this phenomenon. We outline in our manuscript how designers use different techniques to stage the food experience and facilitate aesthetic disgust, which can be understood as more than just a pleasurable experience. We outline twelve staging techniques used in the context of food design to facilitate a distancing or embracing effect regarding the disgust eliciting features. Three food examples illustrate how these different techniques can be combined and applied in design practice.","PeriodicalId":51560,"journal":{"name":"DESIGN ISSUES","volume":"38 3","pages":"20-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42155739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article discusses DIY pandemic design tactics used by U.S. microbusinesses to reshape embodied experiences of interior retail spaces, in relation to contemporary artworks. Over the course of the pandemic, large corporations developed standardized, mass-produced designs for pandemic wayfinding and interior demarcation. In contrast, many microbusinesses used DIY pandemic design tactics having formal qualities and phenomenological implications that resemble precedents in contemporary art. Although pandemic safety protocols could be seen as a form of social control, this article depicts their visualization in graphics and barriers as acts for reshaping collective space and as endangered forms of local, non-homogenized design.","PeriodicalId":51560,"journal":{"name":"DESIGN ISSUES","volume":"38 3","pages":"5-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/6720221/9931005/09931060.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42444331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It demonstrates the positionality inherent within frames insofar as frames articulate subordinated or dominant status, or express normative understandings until challenged. In doing so, we build a conceptualization of the political foundations of design framing practices and their implications for those contexts within which design operates. Consequently, we argue for dissensual counter-framing design practices that unsettle institutionalized norms and ideologies played out within frames, and through which a form of political agency is sociomaterially enacted.","PeriodicalId":51560,"journal":{"name":"DESIGN ISSUES","volume":"38 3","pages":"71-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/6720221/9931005/09931091.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47248327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
