2. 11. Researching IoT through Design : An Inquiry into Being-At-Home

   Author : Anuradha Reddy; Maria Hellström; Per Linde; Jonas Löwgren; Malmö universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Interaction Design; Internet of Things; Participation; Design Ethics; Home; Interaktionsdesign; Interaktionsdesign;

   Abstract : Researching IoT through Design is a proposal for reworking how one might approach ubiquitous networked objects, or IoT, that no longer have stable and predictable uses – and to be-at-home with them in everyday life. This inquiry into being-at-home entails a shift from the idea of the home as a fixed, four-walled space for everyday routine separate from the outside world. READ MORE

4. 12. Transtructures : prototyping transitional practices for the design of postindustrial infrastructures

   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Infrastructures; transition design; postindustrial design; system design; drones; participation; design practices; automation; hacking; logistic; telecommunications; sustainable development; hållbar utveckling; design; design;

   Abstract : This dissertation is about 'transtructures', a term coined to describe new kinds of infrastructures that are more attentive and responsive to the needs of contemporary society, its emerging economies and technological capabilities. The purpose of this inquiry is to begin to explore the character and possibilities of a design practice that could guide responsibly and ethically the transition of existing industrial infrastructures towards these new configurations: what processes it could follow, and what materials it could include.

   Author : David Joaquin Cuartielles Ruiz; Teemu Leinonen; Malmö universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Platform Design; Interaction Design;

   Abstract : Platform Design is a study of different viewpoints on the creation of digital systems, and how they converge in platforms designed, built, and managed by communities. As sociotechnical constructs in which features emerge through the interaction of different stakeholders, platforms are understood as both means and outcomes—the ‘things’ or boundary objects in a design process—generating the spaces where communities of practice can form.
