Abstract This paper will focus on redefining design research education for the 21st Century. In this context, we will contextualize critical issues emerging from analyzing Christopher Frayling’s seminal paper Research in Art and Design by reviewing seminal theoretical work in the field of design by Archer (1968), Cross (1983), Jones (1970), and contemporary critiques such as Herriott (2019), and the authors (2019). By implementing an historical account into previous work, we will deconstruct Frayling’s structuring and why he articulated his framework leading to our critique of the fundamental problems arising from it. In the process, we build from previous work by the authors to reposition the ontological nature of design knowledge around notions of prospectivity, abductivity, and probabilism. This positioning emancipates design from the present, thus overcoming the scientific/tacit paradigms liberating design to operate in its true future-led prospective and transformational nature.

Abstract The early design process, also referred to as the ‘fuzzy front end’, is emerging as the dominant content in social and service design domains. However, the back end of the development process is rarely considered in research or practice. In collaboration with two Caritas Community Centres, our research group applied participatory action research (PAR) to a co-design case study in Hong Kong, not only at the fuzzy front end but also at the back end. This paper demonstrates the value of PAR in co-design and describes how it can inform awareness and promote behavioural change to tackle environmental issues. It contributes to the design field by highlighting the significance of the later phases of the design research process. A framework for applying PAR to co-design is developed. Insights are provided for designers, researchers, and policymakers on the use of PAR in public design.

Overview While dementia may affect the way our minds work, we will always know what we like. Where biographical identity diminishes, but experiential identity and emotional memory is retained, experiencing pleasure from personal preferences in everyday surroundings has significance. If verbal communication becomes arduous, assumptions can be made about inability, leading to everyday decisions being made on our behalf. The resultant negative impact on sense of identity and agency in the context of intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships is recognized in dementia care. Consequently a strengths-based approach is advocated, where a focus on abilities can challenge negative assumptions. This study explores the role of research through design, using visual stimuli as probes, to support non-verbal expression of personal aesthetic preferences in the curation of personal space. This paper describes the development of methods using remote sensory ethnography to share personal preferences for everyday objects and colour in the context of home.

Abstract In the Aboriginal community of Ntaria, visual communication is utilized to enhance storytelling, kinship relationships, and cultural knowledge. This research investigates how digital design tools could generate new forms of representation and connection while leading to the creation of employment pathways for young adults. Detailed in this paper is how Ntaria Design, a student-led enterprise was cultivated through a design and enterprise education program run at Ntaria School, part of a three-year participatory action study. From a Western Arrarnta perspective, the value of design, and the resulting development of a design-based enterprise was mediated by Country, culture, and community. This in turn necessitated new ways of teaching, learning, and engaging in research together on-Country. The establishment of Ntaria Design illuminates how design education can build entrepreneurial capacity while enabling Aboriginal youth to engage in commercial pathways on their own terms, and according to their own life-worlds.

Abstract This paper investigates virtual reality head-mounted displays (VR-HMDs) as immersive and interactive media to simulate how new automotive user interfaces will contribute to passengers’ user experience (UX) through experience prototyping of a conceptual infotainment system for front-seat passengers. It first demonstrates the integration of VR-HMDs into experience prototypes through (1) identification of what to prototype by deconstructing the system into its aspects; (2) definition of the scope and fidelity of the prototype for each design aspect; and (3) elimination of challenges brought by VR-HMD (e.g. simulation sickness) through strategies like static presentation of car surroundings. Secondly, it confirms the strategies to exploit immersion safely with the results of the simulation sickness and presence questionnaires. Thirdly, it probes how using VR-HMD affects UX appraisals with content analysis of the follow-up interviews. The paper concludes with a discussion of how VR-HMDs enrich digital appraisals of (automotive) user interfaces at early design stages.

Abstract With the great benefits of ‘making’ including self-fulfilment and creativity development, the maker movement has become a social and global phenomenon with great demand for community-based makerspaces. This requires designing appropriate environments with well-developed creative activities in makerspaces to help improve the impacts economically and socially. Much research has investigated the topics of making/makerspaces but primarily focused on Western culture. This study, however, looks into the perceptions, experiences and requirements of people toward making/makerspaces, with an in-depth study of Chinese cases. A qualitative research methodology with mixed methods was employed. The study discusses the key stakeholders’ perspectives including their requirements and expectations, drivers for and barriers of current practices with possibilities of applying bottom-up approaches, and the potential of turning community centres into creative hubs. The key findings will be used to develop a prototype of public makerspaces in China.

Abstract Ethnographic methods are widely used in design research and provide valuable data for gaining in-depth understanding of any particular situation. To broaden the use of ethnography in design research, first, we investigated how ethnography and design research are related in the last 36 years by focusing on which ethnographic methods are utilized; why and in which domains of design research these methods are applied and, how these three aspects relate to each other altogether. Through content analyses we found meaningful associations between methods, goals and domains of application. Our research identifies gaps on theoretical, methodological and contextual implications. Based on these gaps we propose particular opportunities for future research.

Abstract In this article a set of strategic interventions developed through the Erasmus + KA2 project entitled ‘Design and Innovation Capacity Building in India/DESINNO’ which is under implementation within the action ‘Capacity Building in the field of Higher Education’ are presented. The approach developed brings together an historical overview of design in India, an overview of Higher Educational Institutes (HEIs) and industry in relation to design in the country, a literature review of relevant emerging field in contemporary design, an overview of relevant sectorial reports from India and the European Union and fieldwork comprising of surveys and focus groups in India. This triangulation of the interventions chosen allows to move forward to the deployment of the strategy developed in three Indian HEIs. The maker movement, social innovation and grassroots innovation form a unity that is tailor made for the Strengths and Opportunities present in contemporary India. Design hubs, community makers spaces in HEIs, are the central pillar in this strategy. Additionally, the knowledge transfer to Indian academics and professional designers by European HEIs in an open and collaborative fashion aims to provide the necessary competences to support said design hubs.
