A Framework of Design Method Corroboration

Thoring, K.C. (author), Mueller, Roland M. (author), Lecuna, Alejandro (author), Badke-Schaub, P.G. (author)

Practitioners design artifacts of different kinds. Researchers and practitioners both create methods for designing such artifacts. The question arises whether those methods are actually valid and useful. In this conceptual paper, we argue that there is a need for “method corroboration”-the deliberate and reflected use and possible validation...

Workshops as a research method: Guidelines for designing and evaluating artifacts through workshops

Thoring, K.C. (author), Mueller, Roland M. (author), Badke-Schaub, P.G. (author)

Workshops are often used in the information systems (IS) and design fields to evaluate artifacts or to co-create business innovations. However, the evaluation of workshops is often conducted in a rather unsystematic and heterogenous way. This paper introduces a set of guidelines for designing or evaluating artifacts through workshops. These...

Introducing a tool to support reflection through sketching and prototyping during the design process

Jobst, B.S. (author), Thoring, K.C. (author), Badke-Schaub, P.G. (author)

Sketching and prototyping are parts of a 'reflective conversation with materials of a design situation' (Schön, 1992). To support this conversation, we developed a reflective tool -the Reflection Canvas- that facilitates reflection activities through sketching and prototyping on the one hand and verbalisation on the other. We introduced the...

Compensating for perceptual filters in weak signal assessments

van Veen, B.L. (author), Ortt, J.R. (author), Badke-Schaub, P.G. (author)

The effect of ambiguous and non-salient information on the managerial interpretive process is rarely investigated, although this information is considered to be the basis for strategic decision-making and requires a different process due to its ill-defined nature. This paper explores the process that outperforming managers used to detect and...

Inspiration Space: Towards a theory of creativity-supporting learning environments

Thoring, K.C. (author), Gonçalves, M. (author), Mueller, Roland M. (author), Badke-Schaub, P.G. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)

Building on the assumption that the physical environment can have an influence on the creativity of designers and design students in particular, the aim of this paper is to provide theoretical propositions and evidences for this relationship. We develop various propositions about the influence of physical environments on creativity, based on...

Sharedness of team mental models in the course of design-related interaction between architects and clients

Casakin, Hernan (author), Badke-Schaub, P.G. (author)

This study deals with the role of mental models in the coordination of team activities during design problem-solving. The work centers on the sharedness of mental models in a design team setting, mainly on the interaction between an architect and two clients. A major goal is to gain insight into how modifications in mental models affect...

The impact of aesthetic preference in product design-golden ratio and Korean's preference proportion

Joung, J.Y. (author), Badke-Schaub, P.G. (author)

Background Over the past decades a considerable number of studies have been done on the golden ratio and the relation between their aesthetics and design. These studies, after analyzing design icons with the golden ratio, seem to prove that the golden ratio is an important principle for good design. However, these studies mainly focused on...
