Systems and Design Beyond Processes and Thinking
6th International Forum of Design as a Process SYSTEMS & DESIGN BEYOND PROCESSES AND THINKING 2016 Electronic book PROCEEDINGS June 22nd – 24th, 2016 EDITORIAL UNIVERTITAT POLITÈCNICA DE VALÈNCIA e-Proceedings POSITIONING PAPER Systems and Design: Beyond Processes and Thinking Celaschi, Flaviano; Celi, Manuela; Formia, Elena; Franzato, Carlo; Imbesi, Lorenzo; Peruccio, Pier Paolo & Hernandis, Bernabé. Scientific committee Abstract A contemporary vision of design needs to be encompassed in the actual mutation of the productive and cultural contexts facing different systems of change. Conceived as a collective work, this introductory paper looks at these changes in the design field by identifying six possible perspectives that, albeit laying on parallel dimensions, present many interrelated aspects: productive, professional, creative, cultural, sustainable, prospective. The conclusive paragraph brings forwards an in depth analisys that offers an engineering vision of design cultures. Keywords: Industry 4.0, productive, knowledge, creative, cultural, sustainable, prospective systems 1. Productive system. Awaiting the “digital tsunami” of the revolution in production processes1 When we are in the middle of some phenomena, very close to them, indeed, when the phenomena are right on top of us, it is always very difficult to describe them. As described by Massimo Bergami (2016, 13), “Up until now we have witnessed the appearance of gradual innovations that have added new tools and means of communication to our everyday life.

Form Follows Function Model-Driven Engineering for Clinical Trials
Form Follows Function Model-Driven Engineering for Clinical Trials Jim Davies1, Jeremy Gibbons1, Radu Calinescu2, Charles Crichton1, Steve Harris1, and Andrew Tsui1 1 Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford Wolfson Building, Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3QD, UK http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/firstname.lastname/ 2 Computer Science Research Group, Aston University Aston Triangle, Birmingham B4 7ET, UK http://www-users.aston.ac.uk/~calinerc/ Abstract. We argue that, for certain constrained domains, elaborate model transformation technologies|implemented from scratch in general- purpose programming languages|are unnecessary for model-driven en- gineering; instead, lightweight configuration of commercial off-the-shelf productivity tools suffices. In particular, in the CancerGrid project, we have been developing model-driven techniques for the generation of soft- ware tools to support clinical trials. A domain metamodel captures the community's best practice in trial design. A scientist authors a trial pro- tocol, modelling their trial by instantiating the metamodel; customized software artifacts to support trial execution are generated automati- cally from the scientist's model. The metamodel is expressed as an XML Schema, in such a way that it can be instantiated by completing a form to generate a conformant XML document. The same process works at a second level for trial execution: among the artifacts generated from the protocol are models of the data to be collected, and the clinician conduct- ing the trial instantiates such models in reporting observations|again by completing a form to create a conformant XML document, represent- ing the data gathered during that observation. Simple standard form management tools are all that is needed. -
Privacy When Form Doesn't Follow Function
Privacy When Form Doesn’t Follow Function Roger Allan Ford University of New Hampshire [email protected] Privacy When Form Doesn’t Follow Function—discussion draft—3.6.19 Privacy When Form Doesn’t Follow Function Scholars and policy makers have long recognized the key role that design plays in protecting privacy, but efforts to explain why design is important and how it affects privacy have been muddled and inconsistent. Tis article argues that this confusion arises because “design” has many different meanings, with different privacy implications, in a way that hasn’t been fully appreciated by scholars. Design exists along at least three dimensions: process versus result, plan versus creation, and form versus function. While the literature on privacy and design has recognized and grappled (sometimes implicitly) with the frst two dimensions, the third has been unappreciated. Yet this is where the most critical privacy problems arise. Design can refer both to how something looks and is experienced by a user—its form—or how it works and what it does under the surface—its function. In the physical world, though, these two conceptions of design are connected, since an object’s form is inherently limited by its function. Tat’s why a padlock is hard and chunky and made of metal: without that form, it could not accomplish its function of keeping things secure. So people have come, over the centuries, to associate form and function and to infer function from form. Software, however, decouples these two conceptions of design, since a computer can show one thing to a user while doing something else entirely. -

Prospecting a Systemic Design Space for Pandemic Response
Prospecting a systemic design space for pandemic response Frederick M.C. van Amstel a * | Cayley Guimarães a | Fernanda Botter a a Federal University of Technology – Paraná (UTFPR), Industrial Design Academic Department (DADIN): Curitiba, Brazil. * Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Design literature describes an expansion of design activity towards systemic relations, the so-called fourth order of design. In this order, design is supposed to deal with sociotechnical controversies — public deliberations over technical and social relations that include multiple actors with conflicting interests. This research looks at the sociotechnical controversy around COVID-19 design responses to map the extent of said expansion through a hybrid method. The controversial design space mapping method included web pages on design projects aimed at the pandemic as a source of problems, solutions, actors, and interests. The results reveal that actors overlooked systemic relations, possibly due to neoliberal ideologies. Based on this informed speculation, the research provides recommendations to prospect a systemic design space for pandemic responses. Keywords: Design space, COVID-19, Orders of Design, Sociotechnical Controversy, Systemic relations. INTRODUCTION Design activity has developed in, at least, four orders of design across the XXth century (Buchanan, 1992, 2001, 2019a). In recent years, the fourth (systemic) order is becoming increasingly prominent in design discourse (Vôute et al., 2020; Buchanan, 2019b; Dorst, 2019; Jones, 2014; Ryan, 2014; Sevaldson, 2013). The discourse goes by saying that it is possible to effect systemic changes in society through local interventions that may be scaled up. Various design approaches emerged in recent years to underscore such design interventions (Engeler, 2017; Irwin, 2015; Jones, 2014; Vassão, 2017; 2008; Manzini, 2015; 2008). -
The Pedagogy of Form Versus Function for Industrial Design
The Pedagogy of Form versus Function for Industrial Design David Domermuth, Ph.D. Abstract – Industrial Design is a combination of science and art. Determining the balance of the two is a preeminent challenge for teachers. The function is dominated by science/engineering principles while the form is an artistic/aesthetic expression. The teacher has a limited number of courses to present the foundational material while leaving enough courses to practice designing. This paper presents an objective summary of foundational courses, programs of study from various institutions, program evaluations by industrial experts, and a discussion about predetermining student success. A summary of accreditation requirements and how they affect the programs of study is also included. Keywords: Industrial Design, program of study, form versus function, accreditation, right/left brain. INTRODUCTION The concept of art is well accepted as shapes or drawings that are created to please sight or touch. Many times art is described as a pleasing design but the work of scientists and engineers is also referred to as a plan or design, such as the design of an engine or piping system. Scientists and engineers use the word design as noun to name a device or an adjective to describe the effectiveness of a system. The term design is also used to describe a number of professional fields such as Industrial, Interior, and Architectural Design. In this sense the word design blends both meanings of art and function. “Design is often viewed as a more rigorous form of art, or art with a clearly defined purpose” [Wikipedia, 1] “In the late 1910s, the two principles of “form follows function” and “ornament is a crime” were effectively adopted by the designers of the Bauhaus and applied to the production of everyday objects like chairs, bed frames, toothbrushes, tunics, and teapots.” (Wikipedia 2008) This paper concentrates on the university training of Industrial Designers/Product Designers with respect to form and function. -
