Jb


I’m a researcher• PhD in Computer Science / Psychology• I’m interested in phenomenae and experiences where situations and/or artefacts are new + appropriate

• I manifest their exaptive nature, in reference to Stephen J. Gould


I’m a guest• Ethnomethodology, participant-observer• I inhabit exaptive terrains• I co-create objects, environments and methods to research, observe & documentwith inhabitants who manifest hospitality


I’m a documentor• Ethnography, Visual Documentation

• Breaching, cosmopolitical experience design

• I love to celebrate and understand relationships between people & physical objects, plants, animals and people.


Approach• I study, create & play narratives evolving in:

• spoken stories• physical story-objects• gestures / non-verbal cues• spandrels / open spaces



Terrains & objects of study

• Kindergarten, Contemporary Art activities for Children

• Academic Research Ecosystems

• Industrial Innovation Centers

• Artistic & Design residencies / workshops

• Private places held by Collectivities e.g. fablabs

• Individual projects with no category or identity

a. Design Masters



Standard leads to perfection• Necessity of a «range of measurement» of an harmonic nature

• Unveiling the «mathematical language» underlying design and architecture

Triangle of Fallman







(Findeli, A. (2010). Searching for Design Research Questions: Some Conceptual Clarifications, (pp. 278-292). iUniverse.)




Bruner’s Modes• Enactive (practitioners, explorators)

• Iconic (curators, practitioners, explorators)

• Symbolic (academic, explorators)

School seems to be the place where all three are intricated

Design & Research : incomplete definition

A field which common language is the systematic communication of descriptions, evaluations and valorisations of concepts, artefacts and experiences produced during a process of creation towardsan economic, critical or socio-cultural aim

f. Design Justifications(What?)



Production Regimes

http://www.mobilelifecentre.org/sites/default/files/a23-hook.pdf

Research INTO design

Research FOR design

Research THROUGH design





Forms, Concepts, Tools

Artefacts, Theories, Methods


Form, Concept, Tool

• Research THROUGH design --> Form Theories Intermediate Knowledge

• Research INTO design --> Concept

• Research FOR design --> Tool (material, method)




Form, Concept, Tool• Aesthetics Wissenschaftstheorie Constructivism

Theory( concept )

Apparatus( tool )

Artefact(form)




Form, Concept, Tool

« "And, irrespective of what one might assume, in the life of a science, problems do not arise by themselves. It is precisely this that marks out a problem as being of the true scientific spirit: all knowledge is in response to a question. If there were no question, there would be no scientific knowledge. Nothing proceeds from itself. Nothing is given. All is constructed.", »

Gaston Bachelard (La formation de l'esprit scientifique, 1934)




FORM CONCEPT TOOL• Artefact (sketch, mock-

up, probe, prototype)• Product (market)• Photo, Video,

VideoPrototype• Documentary, Film,

Design Fiction• Annotated Portfolio• Political Debate• Exhibition• Intervention

• Conference Paper• Journal Paper• Master’s Thesis• PhD’s Thesis• Strong Concept

(Intermediate Knowledge)

• Guidelines• Methodology• Press Article

• Toolkit (arduino, processing, openframeworks, ...)

• Fabrication Tool (new machine)

• Documentation Tool• Methodology• Competition / challenge• Funding Tool• Infrastructure• Instruments




Challenge for design ≡ research

•Peer-Reviewing.

•Historical grounding.

•Evaluation.

Significant Contribution




Peer-Reviewing : design research map

http://pw.louiseveillard.com/2014-carto-design-research/






Peer-reviewing• International Design Research social network, question de la francophonie

• Email Lists (in french ARD, Design Recherche, Phd Design list, autres...)

• Conferences and physical seminars (Swiss Design Research Network)

• Inter-institutions collaborations




Historical Grounding

«‘la longue durée’... which he called a formalized social past»

http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1162/desi.2009.25.2.94#.U0Kw38cduAV




Historical Grounding

http://nala.io/weblens/






Archiving and Research libraries• Sharing Documentation (from within schools, contests...)

• Design Research Database.

• Database with conceptual articlesand also physical artefact docu-mentation in Open Access

DESIGN




Evaluation• How to evaluate design ?

• Quantitative vs Qualitative Evaluation

• KPI (Key Performance Indicators)

• Evaluating Forms, Concepts and Tools, inspiration from HCI ?

• CHI (Generalist)

• DIS (Forms)

• UIST (Tools)

• CSCW (Concepts)

• what about experiential research ???
