  • Creativity and Evolution: a Metadesign Perspective
    Elisa Giaccardi and Gerhard Fischer Creativity and Evolution: A Metadesign Perspective Abstract In a world that is not predictable, improvisation, evolution, and innovation are more than a luxury: they are a necessity. The challenge of design is not a matter of getting rid of the emergent, but rather of including it and making it an opportunity for more creative and more adequate solutions to problems. Whereas user-centered and participatory design approaches (whether done for users, by users, or with users) have focused primarily on activities and processes taking place at design time, and have given little emphasis and provided few mechanisms to support systems as living entities that can be evolved by their users, metadesign is an emerging conceptual framework aimed at defining and creating social and technical infrastructures in which new forms of collaborative design can take place. Metadesign extends the traditional notion of design beyond the original development of a system to include co-adaptive processes between users and systems, which enable the users to act as designers and be creative. This paper presents the results of our studies and design activities in the last two decades at the Center for LifeLong Learning & Design of the University of Colorado at Boulder. Keywords Metadesign, design time, use time, multidimensional design space, open systems, adaptable interaction, embodiment, co-creation, co-evolution, social creativity, boundary objects, seeds, mediators, SER process model, critics, reuse, affect. Introduction In a world that is not predictable, improvisation, evolution, and innovation are more than a luxury: they are a necessity. The challenge of design is not a matter of getting rid of the emergent, but rather of including it and making it an opportunity for more creative and more adequate solutions to problems.

  • Campbell Takes Office As Canada's First Female Premier June 26, 1993| from Reuters
    http://articles.latimes.com/1993-06-26/news/mn-7402_1_kim-campbell Campbell Takes Office as Canada's First Female Premier June 26, 1993| From Reuters OTTAWA — Kim Campbell, a 46-year-old lawyer, took office Friday as Canada's first female prime minister in a bold bid by the ruling Conservatives to recover popularity in time to win elections this year. Campbell, the first Canadian prime minister born after World War II, promised to restore Canadians' faith in government by bringing in a new generation of leaders to deal with severe unemployment and soaring government deficits. She quickly moved to distance herself from her unpopular predecessor, Brian Mulroney, by slashing the Cabinet size by almost one-third and reshuffling departments to focus on new jobs, public security and maintaining Canada's health service. "It is crucial to close the distance between Canadians and their government," she said after her swearing-in. "Canadians want their government to help them, not hinder them, in the process of economic renewal," she told a news conference. "A smaller Cabinet is a more efficient and more effective instrument to discuss, to decide, to lead." Mulroney retired as Canada's most disliked postwar leader after almost nine years in office to allow a fresh face to lead his party into a general election that must be called by November. Campbell named her main rival for leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party, Quebec native Jean Charest, as her deputy prime minister and minister of industry and consumer affairs. Charest was also charged with regional development in the French-speaking province that is key to winning a majority.

  • Anatomy of a Multilingual IFU
    Anatomy of a Multilingual IFU A project lifecycle, from content creation to final print. September 26, 2019 www.idemtranslations.com EXECUTIVE BRIEF Anatomy of a Multilingual IFU Ready to commercialize your product abroad? With regulatory approvals in the works, it’s time to plan the next step in your product distribution cycle. For many medical devices and biotech products, this means creating a multilingual IFU that ships directly with your product around the globe. This executive brief walks you through the decision-making steps necessary to plan and execute an in-box multilingual IFU, from drafting the content to sealing the box. A bit of advance planning will go a long way to ensuring that your product launch is stress-free. Step #1: Content Clearly, you need to draft your English IFU content as the first step on the road to a multilingual IFU. When possible, it is worth spending a little extra effort on the IFU content to ensure it is crystal-clear before the verbiage is locked down. This linguistic clarity will save you time (and money) in the future. Here are several easy things that you can do that pay off future dividends in terms of managing a multilingual IFU: 1. use international measurements Outside the US, metric units of measurement (mm, cm, m, ml) and temperatures in Celsius are far more common than feet, inches, and degrees Fahrenheit. If you only include the typical US measurements, your translators will need to ask how you wish to convert the numbers for use abroad. By including the international measurements (either alone or in tandem with the US measurements), you can perform those conversions up front and avoid questions during the translation process.

  • Reverse Metadesign: Pedagogy and Learning Tools for Teaching the Fashion Collection Design Process Online
    7th International Conference on Higher Education Advances (HEAd’21) Universitat Politecnica` de Valencia,` Valencia,` 2021 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/HEAd21.2021.13181 Reverse Metadesign: Pedagogy and Learning Tools for Teaching The Fashion Collection Design Process Online Daria Casciani, Chiara Colombi, Federica Vacca Design Department, Politecnico di Milano, Italy. Abstract The present article discusses the experience of redesigning the pedagogy and learning tools of a pillar course at the School of Design of Politecnico di Milano, the Metadesign studio course. Metadesign is a design methodology that leads to the concept definition of a new product or service through a research process that synthesizes design goals, technological and productive constraints, market context, and consumption trends for a consumers’ group of reference. It represents a unique methodological approach characterizing a design education as it provides a consolidated research practice able to support the design process. The course structure foresees the reconstruction in phases and the development of all the contextual elements—product, space, service, communication artifact, etc.—that come into relation with the to-be- designed object and influence its characteristics. This process enables creating the "abacus" of components to use in a design activity. Considering the ever- increasing need to reshape the whole education system because of the paradigmatic change pushed by digital transformation and the urgency for on- distance courses posed by the COVID-19 emergency, the article presents a renewed "reversed" course structure. It highlights strengths and opportunities for further improvements representing a solid base for innovating a fashion design education. Keywords: Metadesign; fashion design; learning-by-doing; reflection-in- action; deductive reflection; virtual learning environments.
