The iterative design of a virtual design studio
No full textOur journey in the development of the Design eXchange has taken us a long way and there is a long way yet to go. We began with a vision for encoding design knowledge and creating online virtual design studio culture and found the wiki technology to be an exciting way to make progress towards many of our goals. On the other hand, our use of the wiki technology has itself inspired us to think differently about our original goals for the Design eXchange. Especially as a result of our experience with the wikis, we now realize the importance of allowing for analogies of public and private spaces in the virtual world to reflect physical world design culture and practice. We have understood the need for an ecology of wikis to support communities of virtual design studios and we have understood the need for thinking deeply about permissions in order to create circles of influence and awareness among designers in our online community

Supporting design studio culture in HCI
No full textThe workshop considers the needs and possibilities for integrating design studio culture within the research, education, and practice of interaction design and HCI. The primary goals of the workshop are (i) to assess the current state of design studio culture within HCI in comparison with other design disciplines, (ii) to invite participants to collaborate on the design of the artifice required to support design studio culture within HCI, and (iii) to aggregate insights from these designs into strategies for the future
Advancing design for sustainable food cultures
No full textOur paper, “HCI & Sustainable Food Culture: A Design Framework for Engagement,” presented at the 2010 NordiCHI conference, introduced a design framework for understanding engagement between people and sustainable food cultures (Choi and Blevis, 2010). Our goal for this chapter “Advancing Design for Sustainable Food Cultures” is to expand our notion of this design framework and the programme of research it implies. This chapter presents the three elements of design framework for sustainability: (i) engagement across disciplines; (ii) engagement with and amongst users/non-users and; (iii) engagement for sustained usability. The uses a corresponding sample of photographic records of experiences that reflect three key issues in the current sustainable food domain: respectively, (i) context of food cultures, (ii) farmers’ markets, and (iii) producing food
Integrating Human-Centered Design Methods from Different Disciplines: Contextual Design and PRInCiPleS
Full text linkPresented FUTUREGROUND 2004. Melbourne, Australia, November 17-21, 2004The human-computer interaction (HCI) community has developed primarily
among those trained in computer science and psychology. Design methodologies within HCI tend to address the needs and interests of those who have been trained in cognitive science, human factors, or software engineering. This paper illuminates the similarities, distinctions and opportunities existing between one of the better known HCI methodologies, Contextual Design, and an encapsulation of the oral tradition of studio-based design methods that we call PRInCiPleS. PRInCiPleS forms part of the curriculum in HCI design at the Indiana University School of Informatics. We present a case study wherein both methods were used, and we draw from that experience and our own analysis to compare and contrast HCI approaches and studio-based design approaches generally, suggesting how each may benefit from the strengths of the other and postulating a coherent integration.This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 9909068.
