It is hypothesized that specular baffle designs may reduce stray light more efficiently than diffuse baffles; however, the computer models on which these claims are based have never been validated by experimental data. This project will attempt to prove that computer models of specular baffles are valid. 1 Specular Black Baffle Design Final Report 5/7/14 Team Member Roles Patrick Thrasher, OSE: Team Lead As team lead, Patrick Thrasher organized the roles of the team and oversaw each part of the project.

  • Creative Places for Collaborative Cities
    Creative Places for Collaborative Cities Teresa Franqueira* * Univeridade de Aveiro / Politecnico di Milano Aveiro, Portugal / Milan, Italy, [email protected] Abstract: This paper will focus in the urban territory and its social, cultural and economic dynamics, and in particular in the different manifestations of creativity that can be found here, namely in spaces in which spontaneous and diffuse forms of social innovation and creativity are emerging: Creative Places. It is in this urban context that Creative Places thrive, working as incubators of change, sustainable behaviours, bottom-up creativity and a subculture of collaboration. In this framework, Creative Places shape a Collaborative City, which in turn fosters the appearance of Creative Places. The assumption of design as a strategic instrument to operate in complex systems involving complex networks of actors and able to decode, combine and make sense of multidisciplinary knowledge; and in so doing, able to decline it into a coherent projectual, flexible and open-ended language in order to promote the diffusion of sustainable social innovations and widen their reach and impact through designing for sustainability and for radical systemic innovation. Key words: strategic design for sustainability, collaboration, social innovation. 3675 1. Introduction The world is in a continuous and fastpaced change, whether we consider environmental, technological or economic transformations, or, even more significantly, whether we look at the social ones. The lack of policies adjusted to tackle those transformations and the need to adapt and develop systems able to structure the social, economic, and cultural fabric towards the transition to a more sustainable development model have given birth to a diffuse phenomenon of collaborative communities, in which individuals collaborate between them to produce the outcomes that the traditional welfare state does not seem able to deliver.

  • Learning and Practicing in Service Design
    ServDes2018 - Service Design Proof of Concept Politecnico di Milano 18th-19th-20th, June 2018 Learning and practicing in service design Alessandro Deserti, Anna Meroni [email protected]; [email protected] Department of Design, Politecnico di Milano, Via Durando 38a, 20158 Milan, Italy Bas Raijmakers [email protected] Design Academy Eindhoven and STBY, The Netherlands Abstract The paper analyses the contributions to the “learning and practicing’ track of “ServDes.2018 Proof of Concept” and categorises them by identifying convergences and defining six emerging topics. As a result, new roles and responsibilities emerge. They can be summarised in a few directions: 1) beyond learning - where more and more, service designers are explicitly or implicitly requested to play the role of educators within organisations; 2) beyond human centred design – where the need to better understand the role of and the interaction with ‘non-human agents’ emerges; 3) beyond organisational change – where the transformational role of design seems to expand from within organisations to the relationships that organisations establish with external actors. KEYWORDS: service design, learning, designer skills, stakeholders, big data, impact, emotional intelligence Introduction The ‘learning and practicing’ track of “ServDes.2018 Proof of Concept” Conference was designed with the ambition to investigate two apparently traditional topics, coming out with new ideas and trajectories. This was done in the first place by putting the topics together, in order to investigate their interplay within a context of fast change in the role of a service designer. The risk, for a track that explicitly aimed to “… explore the evolution of the skills a service designer must acquire and which education is expected to provide”, was to tie learning and practicing respectively to education and professional practice, ending up with two disconnected sets of papers, focused on the one hand on the formal training of designers and on the other hand on the new skills of practitioners.

  • Design Culture and Dialogic Design Ezio Manzini
    Design Culture and Dialogic Design Ezio Manzini The question of culture is virtually absent from the debate on contemporary design and especially from what in this paper I refer to as emerging design: a problem-based, solution-oriented design, the defining characteristic of which is not the products, services, and communicative artifacts it produces, but the tools and methods it uses.1 The discussion on it dutifully covers envi- ronmental, economic, and social issues, together with those of participation and the environmental, economic, and social effects of its results. Certainly all these aspects are very important, but the absence of a debate on emerging design’s cultural dimension is a serious limitation that prevents it from becoming the agent of (cultural and therefore also social and environmental) change that it could and indeed should be. Meanwhile, although rarely dis- cussed, emerging design also has its own culture—a culture that is rather limited and limiting precisely because of this lack of debate. In this paper I call this culture solution-ism and participation-ism. To go beyond this somewhat reductive culture, we need to return to the discussion on issues that are or should be typical of design: from the criteria by which to orient and assess the quality of local solutions, to the broadest visions of the world toward which we work. This discussion must be undertaken through a dia- 1 A very clear statement on the nature of emerging design, and of its present lim- logic approach, in which the various interlocutors, design experts its, was proposed in 2014 in a manifesto included, interact as they bring their own ideas and define and titled “DesignX,” collaboratively authored accept their own responsibilities.

  • Participation-Based Parametric Design in Early Stages
    Participation-based Parametric Design in Early Stages A participative design process for spatial planning in office building Elie Daher1, Sylvain Kubicki2, Burak Pak3 1,2Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology 3KU Leuven Department of Architecture Campus Sint-Lucas Brussels 1,2{elie.daher|Sylvain.kubicki}@list.lu [email protected] The term participation has been used to define different activities, such as civil debate, communication, consultation, delegation, self-help construction, political decisions. However, participation in design started from the idea that individuals whom being affected by a design project must contribute to the design process. Recently, designers have been moving closer to the future users and developing new ways to empower them to get involved in the design process. In this paper we rethink the way the early design process is developed in a participatory approach thanks to parametric methods. A use case is proposed showing the potential of parametric design methods to empower the participation of users in the design of their facilities. The use case is dealing in particular with the spatial planning of an office building where the users together with the spatial planning team are able to design the layout spatial configuration by 1) fixing the objectives, 2) manipulating the model, 3)modifying some parameters, 4) visualizing the iterations and evaluating in a real-time each solution in an interactive 3D environment and together with facility managers 5) choosing the configuration of the spatial layout.

  • Traces As Service Evidence
    ServDes2018 - Service Design Proof of Concept Politecnico di Milano 18th-19th-20th, June 2018 Traces as service evidence Spyros Bofylatos [email protected] Department of Product and Systems Design Engineering, University of the Aegean Konstaninoupoleos 1, Hermoupolis, Syros 84100, Greece Abstract In this paper, the idea of leveraging traces in service design for sustainability is presented. Physical evidence is an essential aspect of services as the service experience exists as a choreography of people, things and processes. These designed, tangible aspects of services play an important role in the overall service experience and at the same time act as affordances, leading the user through a desired service journey without interpersonal interactions. Viewing services in the context of actor network theory, as networks of humans and non- humans suggests that this service evidence act as a carrier of explicit knowledge relegated to it by the designers. Integrating tacit knowledge in the design process is a meaningful endeavour especially in the context of service design for sustainability. Traces is a notion associated with focal practices that shed light in this unexplored direction of service design. Traces exhibit similar characteristics to evidence but in a capacity of carrying tacit knowledge. KEYWORDS: traces, service design, craft, tacit knowledge, social innovation Introduction This paper aims to introduce the idea of traces in the design of services. Traces, the perceptible enduring marks left on the material world through the engagement with people with it (Ingold 2007), are carriers of tacit knowledge acting as the keystone (Robbins 2016) between people, practices and things. We turn to the idea of service evidence to better understand the tools that create meaning in the intersection of time and material in contemporary service design in order to identify the meaningful design space for the integration of traces in service design.

  • Review of Design of Collective Housing in the 21St Century
    buildings Essay Review of Design of Collective Housing in the 21st Century David Hernández Falagán Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Barcelona, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 08028 Barcelona, Spain; [email protected] Abstract: This essay proposes a review of current trends in the design of collective housing projects. The method for the review is based on the observation of certain conditions of contemporary society that show an immediate influence on new habitat patterns. The concepts of uncertainty, scarcity and contingency are the catalysts for the observation, and conditions that provoke new diffuse scenarios for residential buildings. The concept of diffuse dwelling is identified here as the conjunction of three factors: non-permanent coexistence models, residential adaptation of the built environment, and non- hierarchical typological patterns. The review proposes a qualitative analysis questionnaire for the recognition of significant projects of this new residential paradigm. By tracing the EU Mies Award Archive, various examples have been identified that allow us to recognize common characteristics. The result of the analysis reveals how these parameters define a new paradigm in the design of collective housing based on collectivity, constructive resilience, and a new value of domesticity.

    Designing resilient creative communities through biomimetic service design Spyros Bofylatos – Juliet Kampasi Department of Product and Systems Design Engineering University of the Aegean Research question This study aims to explore how the adoption of biomimetic tools in the design of services in the context of social innovation can increase the resilience of the community. Increased resilience acts as an exit strategy for the designers, as a way to enable the evolution of the diffuse design capacity within the community and as strategy to flexible address scale in the context of reconstituting the domains of everyday life. Creative communities • Creative communities are grassroots, bottom-up initiatives of people who through their diffuse design capacity propose new, desirable service futures that address the problems of their everyday life. • These creative communities exist within a transition from modernity towards sustainment, the next epoch of human development. The adversarial character of these systems causes them to embody alternative values such as conviviality, solidarity, openness and shift the focus from growth to flourishing (Ehrenfeld, 2008). • Creative communities use diffuse design capacity (Manzini 2016) to create these solutions. Design for sustainability • The inability of modernity to work within the planet’s carrying capacity has created a society that is unsustainable, and unless some of the core values change, it cannot be salvaged. The scale of environmental degradation puts our existence on the planet in jeopardy. • Approaches that aim to reduce environmental or societal impacts whilst preserving the current model of growth are impossible to lead to sustainability. These approaches reduce unsustainability but one must ask oneself whether reducing unsustainability to zero lead to the emergence of sustainability? (Ehrenfeld, 2008).

  • Designing Resilient Creative Communities Through Biomimetic Service Design
    Relating Systems Thinking and Design Symposium 2018 www.systemic-design.net WORKING PAPER Designing resilient creative communities through biomimetic service design Spyros Bofylatos a*, Juliet Kampasib, Thomas Spyroua a Department of Product and Systems Design Engineering, University of the Aegean b The Institute of Leadership and Management, * Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Creative communities are grassroots, bottom-up initiatives of people who through their diffuse design capacity propose new, desirable service futures that address the problems of everyday life. These creative communities exist within a transition from modernity towards sustainment, their adversarial character embodies alternative values such as conviviality, solidarity, openness and shift the focus from growth to flourishing. The sociotechnical system that is a creative community creating social innovation faces constant threats due to the collapse of traditional support structures and their disruptive, adversarial character and so, identifying strategies to increase its resilience is necessary. We turn to nature for inspiration and mentoring. Biomimisis is a framework that designs solutions inspired by biological systems. We argue that permaculture, provides an interesting direction for the development and research in the context of social innovation. Keywords: Design for sustainability; Service design; Resilience; Biomimisis; Permaculture 206 Relating Systems Thinking and Design Symposium 2018 www.systemic-design.net WORKING PAPER 1. Introduction This paper aims to support the idea that increasing the resilience of creative communities by fostering the emergence of greater diffuse capacity on a local level can act as a successful exit strategy for service design. To achieve this goal, we turn to Biomimisis, the study of biological systems to translate their principles in sociotechnical ones.
