Reimagining the future for retail and service design theory and practices
Get PDFThese proceedings were created by compiling the papers presented at the first colloquium of the Special Interest Group (SIG) Designing Retail & Service Futures from the Design Research Society (DRS). The SIG was established in 2021 under the guidance of the Design Research Society. The SIG strives to gain a better understanding of the value of design in the commercial sector, including disciplines, such as interior design, architecture, retail and hospitality, branding, marketing, strategic design, design management and consumer psychology. Design and its value have been a subject of study for many years and from many different disciplinary perspectives (ranging from product design to marketing, business economics, service design, management, environmental psychology, (interior)architecture, etc.). However, these perspectives have been developed in a fragmented way with discrete research methods and results that present limitations to practically applying these findings holistically across the inter-related fields of design, retail, and services.
Recent developments, that have been accelerated by the pandemic and the current economic crisis, show that in practice, services are becoming integral to retail and vice versa. The consumers’ needs and the dedication of retailers to serve these needs have sparked new approaches that unite both service and retail design. Whether it be online or offline (or both), for a product or a service or an experience, or all together… It is only natural that the research community support the development of this field through furthering insights. This colloquium focuses on bringing together various disciplines to contribute their related knowledge and insights with the objective of calibrating terms and meanings that strive for consensus across disciplines related to retail and service design. This is to work towards knowledge and practice-based contributions that strive for a more holistic and encompassing retail and service design future

"I liked this lippy so much I wore it up a Munroe" (Poucher, cited in Street-Porter, 2000, date unknown)
Get PDFThe intention of this paper is to describe the ways in which Poucher’s dictionary of raw materials and chemical synthetics reduced the cultural identification of the materials and their geographical sources coding them with a them and “us’ hierarchy. W.A. Poucher’s work as a perfumer-cosmetician reveals the power dynamics within the twentieth century cosmetic industry and its far-reaching implications as to how we still determine material and immaterial cultural codes in beauty and fashion
>would you die for me?
No full text>would you die for me?
Happiness stained.
All over.
A 30 minute playlist of works made between 2008 and 2021.
The Sun and The Moon is a 60 minute performance to camera piece made by Michael Curran and Louisa Minkin in 2008. The Sun and the Moon keep time, moving back and forth like clockwork. The light changes and their gestures become charged.
Yes to Life was made over 2012 as the military entertainment complex flexed its wings. It’s a supercut glitch-remix of two video covers of Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe' by the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders and members of the US Marine Corps stationed in Khandahar, Afghanistan. Native to youtube it is a kind of fan-form of acting out, where gesture and gender are entangled.
Three of the videos in this screening [>would you die for me?, How to Accommodate Grief in Your Life and Conflictual Circulation] are part of the larger Dead End project co-created by LMFS [Louisa Minkin and Francis Summers] who have been ‘making banners sometimes’ since 2012. This work explores the subcultural phenomenon of griefing within online culture, posing modes of image-gathering that grief play has generated in the now ‘dead end’ world of Second Life, a Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) environment. Using screen capture alongside photogrammetry we documented a world built and razed digitally by a now dormant group of anonymous gamers called the Yung Cum Bois (YCBs). They read poetry back to us, invoking networked pathologies, image dumps, blockaded communication networks. An imagist and splenetic journey through griefing as counter-protocol in our contemporary digital agora.
The short, animated videos [Eat Work, I’m Wishing and Tiger Lady] use motion capture to apply gesture to 3D characters. Gesture here is the kind of heraldic movement described by Brecht, where action becomes politics, an embodiment of social relationships
An editorial: Introducing the Special Issue of Decolonial Subversions

No full textPresented in the solo exhibition Gross Motor Skills. Referencing logistics and its history as a term for the activity of organizing, equipping, and moving troops, the exhibition offers an ambivalent terrain through which we can circulate ourselves amidst other sausage-bodies, fragmented architectures, and the sundries of a poorly-equipped mobile military corps. Gross Motor Skills gleefully confronts the increasing use of artificial intelligence to advance logistics across supply chains, data analysis, moving people, and more. Even as our intersubjectivities dissipate into quantifiable data-byte-bites, laboring bodies still need to eat
The untold challenges of European interaction through collaborative projects
Get PDFCo-authored contribution to the book European Academy of Participation: Benchmarks, reflections and challenging practice on the interface between academia and the creative sector. Taking inspiration from Brit(ish), the title of Afua Hirsch's book on race, identity and belonging (2018), we are framing our reflections on projects, such as the Erasmus+ European Academy of Participation, from the perspective of a UK-based partner, whose project leads, whilst working in the British higher education sector, are not natives to the UK. Considering the colonial past of Britain, its position within Europe and its reception by others, an unpicking of the complexity in relation to inter- and multi-cultural interactions through collaborative projects seemed a worthwhile undertaking
Design & Policy: Current Debates and Future Directions for Research in the UK
Get PDFThis report produced by the Design|Policy Research Network led by University of the Arts London and University of Manchester, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), showcases the significant role of design in shaping public policy and proposes an agenda for the future direction of research in the UK.
The UK is a leader in the use of design in government and policy and there is a growing range of practice and research connecting design and public policymaking – such as service design, interaction design, communication design, urban design, and strategic design and the emerging fields of policy design and ‘design for policy’.
Over an 18-month period, the collaborative, cross-disciplinary research network organised workshops and engagement sessions to consolidate and better articulate the emerging relations between research and practice in design and public policy processes producing a novel, evidence-based and contextual understanding of the potential for design in relation to policy. Network leads Professor Lucy Kimbell (Central Saint Martins, UAL) and Professor Liz Richardson (Department of Politics, University of Manchester) worked closely with the cross-government Policy Design Community, which includes over 75 local and central government organisations and over 500 individual members, to engage officials in the network’s activities.
The organisers engaged several hundred people including policy makers in central and local government, design consultants alongside academics and doctoral students working across design and policy studies, including setting up a new LinkedIn group with over 700 members.
The report outlines directions for future research and makes recommendations for those involved in research, knowledge exchange and policy ecosystems including UKRI and the Civil Service, to advance knowledge at the intersection between design and policymaking. It also includes the voices of 10 early career and established researchers whose practice and research engages across the contexts of policy making, including UAL doctoral student Daniella Jenkins (Central Saint Martins), developing feminist pensions policy, and Dr Lara Salinas (London College of Communication), who works with local government to support collaboration to address net zero.
Co-authored by Professor Kimbell and Professor Richardson with Catherine Durose, Professor of Public Policy and Co-Director of the Heseltine Institute for Public Policy, Practice and Place at the University of Liverpool and Ramia Mazé, Professor of Design for Social Innovation and Sustainability at London College of Communication, this report sets out a clear vision to underpin the further development of design in government and public policy.
