Articulating the combined experiences of 14 graduate students who concurrently took a methods course and a design studio, this study explores the pedagogical peculiarities of bottom-up rather than typical top-down urban design thinking. This experience operationalizes an abductive case study approach in three scales (macro, meso, and micro) and two phases, namely, value and frame creation. Interpreting and synthesizing nine research methods led to value creation by outlining problematics at the urban, neighborhood, and building scales. Frame creation translated these values into challenges and opportunities, categorizing the potential target areas through place-shaping criteria and site design. This study concludes with pedagogical takeaways from this rite of passage as part of the students' urban design inculturation process.

Within this paper, we develop what we describe as an ethics of the bodies, which operationalises how design researchers and design students can deal with ethics through embodied reflections. Contrasting an “ethics of the eyes” and an ethics of the bodies, we argue that there are benefits when developing and using a sensory practice as an ethical approach when conducting design research in order to deal with ethics in situ and reflecting ethical dimensions that can be slippery to grasp. Based on an analysis of two empirical examples from design research projects, the paper contributes an approach for how design researchers, and students in design education, can work methodologically to activate a sensory approach to ethics by developing an ethics of the bodies.

Design can be utilized in different manners, including as styling activities, integrating role, and strategic manner. The different way reflects different maturity of a firm. Although previous studies conceptually suggest the mature way of managing design brings considerable benefits, empirical evidence is rare. This study fills in this gap by investigating the influences of design management maturity on product innovation performance and financial performance. A survey was conducted (N = 200) and analyzed through PLS-SEM. Results show that design management maturity does not directly improve product innovation performance but mediated by top managers' design management expertise. These findings highlight the importance of top managers' design management expertise in transforming a firm's design management maturity to enhanced product and firm performance.

Interiors constantly change through inhabitation. As such, interior designers value a person's post-project agency as much as a participatory design agency. We must not only be comfortable with this ambiguity but embrace subjectivity within social-cultural contexts as the material with which we operate. This way of knowing, that the process is the product, has not always been the norm in built environment disciplines that primarily concern themselves with form. A simple case is presented to demonstrate the complexity of time, space, and context that impact a typical design project and reflections of the role of designers in the process. The process and reflection demonstrate a human-oriented rather than object-oriented worldview that accommodates flexibility for unpredictability inherent in interior design practice.

Co-design workshops seek solutions to complex, multi-stakeholder issues. These ephemeral encounters bring together designers and uninitiated individuals who embark in a facilitated process that mobilizes a range of simplified design tools and methods. Despite co-design's benefits in terms of representation and acceptability, these workshops also come with limitations and often fall short of their intended goals. Proceeding from stylized facts informed by both our experience and the literature, this study investigates why co-design struggles at maintaining engagement and fails to consistently deliver innovative output regardless of the number of participants involved. Namely, we employ a model-building strategy to illuminate the main knowledge dynamics during workshops and to highlight a constrained ‘reactive expansion’ mechanism that explains known co-design's shortcomings. Implications for workshop facilitation and planning are offered in closing.

In paediatric wards, establishing therapeutic rapport with children requires employing friendly gestures or an understanding gaze, an aspect inhibited when clinicians wear facial personal protective equipment (PPE). In this case study we explore how interactions in three scenarios of a paediatric ward might inform the design of child-friendly PPE. We show how our research methods involved healthcare professionals, parents, and children to identify problems and solution pathways. Our findings indicate that PPE for paediatric wards need to be a system design solution considering emotions, engagement, communication, education, and sustainability factors. We discuss three aspects of conducting design research in healthcare contexts: working within high-risk environments, ethics in design for healthcare projects, and the translation of findings within the regulatory landscape.

In this article, designs that exclude unhoused people from urban public spaces are explored. Drawing from the research project ‘Exclusionary Design: Social Exclusion in Public Spaces’, this article incorporates insights from people who live or have lived unhoused, examining urban design from their perspective. Through a postphenomenological analysis, this article illuminates how design can contribute to creating social exclusion and introduces a model for typologizing exclusionary design. The typology comprises five categories: 1) Urban furniture, 2) Technical installations, 3) Barriers, 4) Absence of ‘material’, and 5) Signs. This typology can serve as a practical operational tool for anyone involved in design and decision-making processes related to urban public spaces.
