This paper explores how design students overcome various obstacles they encounter during their design processes. 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.

The actor–network theory assumes that human and non-human actors co-act in dynamic networks. 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.

AbstractThe current state of function and design of accessible assistive technology is lacking, evidenced by low usability and high abandonment rates by people with disabilities (PwD). A significant contributing factor to these negative outcomes is a lack of user-centered design or user-opinion in the product development. The Human Performance and Mobility Maker Lab (HPML) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is a new facility dedicated to developing assistive technology by PwDs. Rather than being excluded from the design and innovation process, PwDs are the primary drivers of innovation at the HPML. The HPML’s the central tenet is ‘Designed by, not designed for’. The purpose of this paper is to explore various assistive technologies developed in the HPML while providing an empathic framework for other research groups to follow in integrating PwDs into the development and design of assistive technology.Keywords: user-driven designempathyindustrial designassistive technology Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsJoseph PetersJoseph Peters is a medical student at Kansas City University.

Co-design has been acknowledged as a promising approach to stimulating creativity and promoting local innovation. This paper presents a participatory case study on how co-design stimulates the creativity of the young elderly aged 50–64 in Chinese cities and towns for the first time. The 3-year study analyzes changes in design behavior (making, enacting, telling) of the young elderly in the co-design activity through comparison, and provides insights in the co-design approach, organization structure, and co-design principles. This paper provides experience for co-designing with the young elderly and encourages more stakeholders to engage in co-design for an active aging society.

AbstractWhile affordances and play experiences are both topics of high interest in design research, there is a need to better understand the relationship between affordances and toys. 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.

AbstractUniversal design aims to maximise usability for all, and to achieve this participation of people with disabilities in design processes is essential. 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).

AbstractWhile mobile and wearable applications leverage biosensing and self-tracking technologies to promote healthy lifestyles through data-based self-reflection, there have been criticisms that they perpetuate the dualistic view that separates mind and body. 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.

AbstractThe world’s deserts are vast, and unfortunately the degree of damage is also significantly high. 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).
