  2. 21. Sharing The Design Authorship Of Sustainability : Towards co-creation of sustainable transport systems and practices

    Author : Liridona Sopjani; Sofia Ritzén; Jenny Janhager Stier; Sampsa Hyysalo; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; co-creation; design; sustainable transport systems; sustainable design; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : Any separation between technology and society can be claimed to be artificial. Technological material systems are intertwined with human everyday life practices and ways of living, values, and belief systems. When we design and develop new technological systems, we are also designing opportunities for new daily living practices to emerge. READ MORE

  4. 22. Distributed Participatory Design in Multidisciplinary Engineering Projects: Investigating a Sustainable Approach for Ship Design & Construction

    Author : Steven Mallam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; User-Centred Design; Naval Architecture; Ergonomics; Built Environment; Maritime; Industrial Design; Knowledge Transfer; Technology Acceptance;

    Abstract : Naval architecture design procedures focus primarily on the technical aspects of engineering specifications, mission requirements and overall survivability of ships and marine structures. In contrast, often little attention or importance is placed on the operational demands of onboard crew and the detailed design characteristics of a ship’s work environment. READ MORE

  5. 23. Wearing Sound : Foundations of Sonic Design

    Author : Vidmina Stasiulyte; Clemens Thornquist; Daniëlle Bruggeman; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Textiles and Fashion Design ; Textil och mode konstnärlig ;

    Abstract : Fashion is primarily a visual ontology consisting of definitions, theory and methods that are based on visual language. This research revises fashion by approaching it from a different—sonic—perspective wherein sound is considered not as a negative aspect but as a potential source of a new theory and facilitator of the evolution of new methods.

  6. 24. Redesign Foundations

    Author : Anna Lidström; Kirsti Bræin; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; waste; surplus; redesign; remake; design; method; clothing; Textiles and Fashion Design ; Textil och mode konstnärlig ;

    Abstract : In relation to waste hierarchies, activities such as redesign, reuse, and remanufacturing are often promoted because they can recover more resources than other activities. For example, studies have repeatedly shown that reuse and remanufacturing have more beneficial effects for the environment than recycling on the fibre level. READ MORE

  7. 25. Shaping thought through action : A study of the use and design of technical information

    Author : Jonatan Lundin; Yvonne Eriksson; Carina Söderlund; Inger Orre; Harald Schaub; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

    Abstract : This dissertation deals with the design of technical information, such as a user manual for an industrial device, based on the searching and reading behaviour of process operators and maintenance technicians. Such industrial professionals, who use tools like measuring equipment, are sometimes unable to get the support they need from searching and reading in a text- and image-based tool manual in order to perform work tasks.
