Cover illustration: Plasticine modelling in the Bendigo Charrette © Rob Roggema Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Foreword A plethora of design professionals, planners, landscape and other architects, and even lawyers, have all struggled to cut through the planning morass to make urban design more participatory and the outcomes meaningful, useful, practical, elegant, beautiful and enjoyable. We have watched, silently and noisily, as great ideas fl ounder in a sea of failed hopes. Unloved, dreary proposals, lacking vision and stifl ing humanity’s best selves, continue to inexorably fi nd their way through the pack. They keep deliver- ing ‘own goals’. People who are expected to live in sites, precincts, houses and developments for years, and sometimes for their whole lives, continue to be little more than ancillary to the places which they will inhabit. Their choices are constrained, their interests ignored and their imaginative suggestions, if ever proffered or heard, are sidelined or spurned. The challenges of designing and developing elegant, simple, realisable, solutions to planning and housing and community problems are exacerbated over time. Isolated pockets of innovation are celebrated as unique and we all complain about our inability to grasp such outcomes in wider settings. Beauty, functionality and comfort appear to be unattainable and unimaginable for the wider community. As I pondered these issues and conducted a wide round of public consultation in my role as Victoria’s environmental sustainability reporter I found myself exploring the work of Rob Roggema. Rob’s discussion of charrettes as a participa- tory planning process interrogated the same litany of questions and the charrette methodology seemed to provide some practical ground-truthing and theoretical focal points. I recall warming to Rob’s enthusiasm for this inclusive and potentially liberat- ing methodology. My work over time and terrain with Aboriginal people predis- posed me to a belief in the highly effective role people can have in addressing their own concerns. Rob’s work spoke to my own understandings – across continents, oceans, cultures. v vi Foreword In intensely practical ways I was delighted to be able to assist Rob in populating some of the charrettes he and the public conducted. Physically, it was pleasing to see maps rolled out, smoothed, placed on tables: landscapes brought to people in fresh, real and evocative ways. My own views of people’s unique understandings of the places in which they live were reinforced as I watched adults and youths, men and women, pouring over these maps. I witnessed them re-drawing and designing historical places in their minds-eye, populating the roads and the surveyed sites with known icons, with histories of families, with contours and crop regimes, with livestock and disused stock routes, water tanks and school yards, with fl ood and drought stories. Their understandings of the physicality of sites, of the needs of the places they cared about, and the needs of the communities who lived in these places were historical, cultural and contem- porary and they were given voice. In particular I am pleased to see Rob has written about the Sea Lake charrette. Sea Lake is a small town (population no more than a couple of hundred people at the most) in the Mallee region of Victoria. It is a dry place which will become drier as we enter into climate change realities. It is ostensibly a lonely place on a thin strip of blue tarmac which is driven-through rather than lingered-in. It is an outlier town where the community cares passionately about the continuation of their place, about the return of their children from university in the metropolis, about the education of their primary school children in the town, about their cen- tres, their stores, their cricket matches, women’s associations, and book clubs. This little town is big in its will to survive the population and skills drain which we see taking place. We attended the charrette and watched children fi ll pages of butcher’s paper with ideas, proposals and issues which concerned them. We listened as they talked about their group response to the question of sustaining the town. Their commen- tary was intelligent, enthusiastic, inclusive, refl ective and purposeful. They had views and proposals. They had an interest in planning for and about the places in which they lived. Townspeople then talked of the procedural and governmental issues, of process and practicalities, of failed efforts and aspirations. Intriguingly the physical presence of the maps kept drawing people back to understandings of the landscape – out of the council chambers and the organisational obstructions. The draw of the land/map was ‘true north’, much as it always is (even if differently so) for Aboriginal people. The Sea Lake charrette, conducted relatively quickly for us, over a couple of days, provided a unique insight into the manner in which people can be drawn away from the road blocks and out into the landscape, generating the skeletal framework for useful and potentially highly productive outcomes. I witnessed a charrette process which is more than just useful. It can free up tongues, lighten loads, and shuffl e and share responsibilities around. It can be conducive to simple, elegant, lived-in planning and organisational solutions. It can promote rupture with past ways of doing things and by this means open up new routes. No other planning process appears to promise this in quite the same Foreword vii highly localised and realistic way. When people are invited to explore meaning in this way that meaning comes from deeper reaches, is more carefully articulated and it promises both stability and fl exibility, fundamental human needs in any planning process. This collection holds a mirror up to us and our practices. It provides an intel- ligent counterpoise to the way we do things now and reminds us we can do better if we take the time and always return, quizzically, to places and the people who populate them. Melbourne Katy Auty Pref ace When you study to become a designer you think, and you’ll be taught that the design will change the world. It is very easy to mix this up with an idea that this design, once it’s been designed well, is the end of the story, which from then on provides the desired change automatically. This occurs to be not true. Only in specifi c cases in history designs had immediate effects on the spatial city appear- ance. The work of Albert Speer was such a case, in many of the former Soviet states it happened and rebuilding after World War II it occurred in the Netherlands. The hand of the designer was not always very successful when we take a look at how these examples are currently valued. Off course, there are more positive examples, such as Haussmann’s boulevards in Paris, the canals in Amsterdam or the Cerda grid in Barcelona, which at the time of realisation encountered protests, but these strong views on city development led eventually to a highly valued environment. These cities were lucky! This book has been written to support community involvement in the design process in order to prevent negative outcomes from a top-down design approach. The combination of community involvement and design is, at least in literature, not very extensive. Despite there is much written about stakeholder involvement, this is often not directly related to design processes and, even more important not allowing community members to design their desired future themselves.

This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract A major goal of natural computing is to design fully developed, that exploit base pairing interactions of biomolecules, such as nucleic acid sequences, that can be nucleic acids. Prominent examples include DNA strand dis- used to perform computations. We design sequences of placement systems (DSDs) (Seelig et al. 2006) and RNA nucleic acids that are “guaranteed” to have long folding origami systems (Geary and Andersen 2014). Our work here pathways relative to their length. This particular sequences is motivated by the goal of computing with a single RNA with high probability follow low-barrier folding pathways sequence as the nucleic acids of the sequence interact with that visit a large number of distinct structures. Long fold- each other. ing pathways are interesting, because they demonstrate that RNA sequences form folded structures in which pairs of natural computing can potentially support long and com- nucleic acids biochemically bond to each other. These bonds plex computations. Formally, we provide the first scalable change the physical energy of the sequence, and a given designs of molecules whose low-barrier folding pathways, sequence prefers to assume low-energy folded structures. with respect to a simple, stacked pair energy model, grow Folding is a dynamic process, constrained by kinetics, dur- superlinearly with the molecule length, but for which all sig- ing which an RNA sequence will move through a sequence nificantly shorter alternative folding pathways have an energy of structures with each differing from the previous one by barrier that is 2 − times that of the low-barrier pathway for the addition or removal of a single base pair.

Both science and technology have a fundamental relationship with design. Technology preceded science, but now most technological developments are based on scientific understanding. Traditional technology comprised useful artifacts often with little understanding of the science underpinning their production and use. In contrast, modern technology involves the application of scientific discoveries to produce useful artifacts. The application of scientific discovery to solve a problem enables designers to create new technologies and these new technologies, in turn, can impact on the rate of scientific discovery.

  • Choosing a Mixed Methods Design
    04-Creswell (Designing)-45025.qxd 5/16/2006 8:35 PM Page 58 CHAPTER 4 CHOOSING A MIXED METHODS DESIGN esearch designs are procedures for collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and reporting data in research studies. They represent different mod- R els for doing research, and these models have distinct names and procedures associated with them. Rigorous research designs are important because they guide the methods decisions that researchers must make dur- ing their studies and set the logic by which they make interpretations at the end of studies. Once a researcher has selected a mixed methods approach for a study, the next step is to decide on the specific design that best addresses the research problem. What designs are available, and how do researchers decide which one is appropriate for their studies? Mixed methods researchers need to be acquainted with the major types of mixed methods designs and the common variants among these designs. Important considerations when choosing designs are knowing the intent, the procedures, and the strengths and challenges associated with each design. Researchers also need to be familiar with the timing, weighting, and mixing decisions that are made in each of the different mixed methods designs. This chapter will address • The classifications of designs in the literature • The four major types of mixed methods designs, including their intent, key procedures, common variants, and inherent strengths and challenges 58 04-Creswell (Designing)-45025.qxd 5/16/2006 8:35 PM Page 59 Choosing a Mixed Methods Design–●–59 • Factors such as timing, weighting, and mixing, which influence the choice of an appropriate design CLASSIFICATIONS OF MIXED METHODS DESIGNS Researchers benefit from being familiar with the numerous classifications of mixed methods designs found in the literature.

  • Improving Design Using Autonomous Spatial and Structural Generators
    Improving Design using Autonomous Spatial and Structural Generators Herm Hofmeyer, Harry Rutten, Henk Fijneman Structural Design Group, Department of Architecture, Building, and Planning, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, The Netherlands http://w3.bwk.tue.nl Abstract. During a building design process, a structural designer transforms a spatial design into a structural design and this structural system can be improved by optimisation methods or expert views of other structural designers. The im- proved structural system allows the architect a new spatial design, which can be transformed or altered again by the architect. This design cycle can be repeated several times and is defi ned as interaction of spatial and structural design. Case studies are used to demonstrate that this interaction occurs in practice and is needed to improve building quality. This paper presents a program with more or less autonomous spatial and structural generators. Each generator will facilitate one direction in the interaction process. Then using both consecutively leads to a design method that provides interaction between spatial and structural design. For the spatial generator, named “room positioning with structural constraints” a space allocation technique is used including constraints that handle structural boundary conditions. A zone generator based on pattern recognition and shape grammars handle the structural design. A Prolog-2 program was developed to demonstrate the application of the two proposed generators. “Zone generation” is performed per building storey and thus represents a horizontal two-dimensional procedure. Similarly “room positioning with structural constraints” is a planar vertical operation. In future these procedures can be made three-dimensional. Keywords. Spatial design, structural design, interaction, case study, data model.

  • Teaching Creative Thinking to Design Students As Future-Proofing 1
    Teaching creative thinking to design students as future-proofing 1 TEACHING CREATIVE THINKING TO DESIGN STUDENTS AS FUTURE- PROOFING Donald J A Welch Design Department, Griffith University Queensland College of Art, South Bank campus, Brisbane, Australia. [email protected] ABSTRACT: In place of inevitable social chaos and planetary degradation, meta-design offers a new framework for the future of humanity. Meta-design expands the concept of design, and the designer, and implicates society as a whole in the process of producing a designed future. An essential ingredient in discovering new ways to deal with existing and as yet unknown aspects of our present predicament is creativity. This paper considers how design students may be encouraged to develop their creativity through appropriate training and to widen individual understanding not only of what they are personally capable of achieving but also of their position in society. How the brain creates new patterns of thinking through ideational code switching and contextual focus is considered in relation to appropriate methods of engendering creative conceptualisation. It concludes by briefly sketching how design education might respond in terms of curriculum development to what is an increasingly urgent predicament of unsustainablity Keywords: Design Education, Creativity, Meta-design INTRODUCTION Within the context of an increasingly dysfunctional economic system, this paper considers the position of the design profession as an adjunct to business and how meta-design points the way towards a remodeling of this relationship, and even changing the global framework in which design operates. Education is a key factor since it has the capacity to develop new understandings and fresh ideas by nurturing creativity, yet education is complicit in delineating acceptable limits to creativity, boundaries that are set by dominant political and commercial interests.
