Zielhuis, M.R.P. (author), Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author), Andriessen, Daan (author), Stappers, P.J. (author)Collaborative research projects are great opportunities for the involved design professionals to learn. Many design professionals join in such collaborations to contribute with their existing professional expertise, but also to further develop and extend that expertise. However, learning by individuals is usually not the main aim, and we lack...journal article 2024

Keusters, A.C.A.M. (author), Batelaan, F.G.M. (author), Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author), Houwing, E.J. (author), Bakker, H.L.M. (author)Purpose:<br/>The increasing complexity of civil engineering projects necessitates focusing on new competencies of project participants. Based on the research on team performance and design processes that are more closely linked to the relevance of the project context, it is hypothesised that empathic abilities could play an important role in...journal article 2023

Stappers, P.J. (author), Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author), van Boeijen, A.G.C. (author)"This paper explores the limitations and functions of design labels, such as social design, codesign, and sustainable design. It argues for a clearer and more nuanced approach to describing design practices. The authors collected over seventy of such labels and categorized them into five clusters. Four of these clusters derive their name from a...conference paper 2023

Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author), van Erp, Jeroen (author)In our densely-populated cities, fostering harmony between differing communities is an increasingly difficult art, and one in which design can provide positive contributions. This paper describes a design project which aimed to decrease tensions between youth and residents in a city neighbourhood through an empathy- building process. Individuals...conference paper 2023

Drouet, Luce (author), Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author), Lallemand, Carine (author)Empathic design provides tools and frameworks supporting designers to understand users’ experiences with products or services. However, how does one hand over this empathic understanding of users to other internal stakeholders shaping the service experience? In this contribution, we reflect on a three-year implementation of an empathy-centric...conference paper 2023

Zielhuis, M.R.P. (author), Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author), Andriessen, D.A. (author), Stappers, P.J. (author)Academic design research has developed a rich collection of knowledge and tools, but often the results fail to land in design practice. We conducted an interview series with experienced design professionals to study how the knowledge that they derived from research projects was of use to them. They used tools, papers, books, and their own...journal article 2022

Zielhuis, M.R.P. (author), Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author), Andriessen, Daan (author), Stappers, P.J. (author)Knowledge from academic design research projects does not always help design professionals to actually strengthen their work. Based on a multi-case study, this paper describes how researchers view the impact of their design research projects on design practice and what they do to achieve this. Even in projects where impact on design practice...journal article 2022

van Nifterik, W.B. (author), Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author), van Erp, J. (author)In co-design, solutions are generated to serve people’s needs, short term and/or long term, through their involvement in parts of the design process. Methods like contextmapping and explorative prototyping serve these participatory processes. They help designers to step into the users’ shoes, to explore design solutions from and with their...journal article 2021

van Dam, S.S. (author), Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author)Designers play an important role in service transformation and the development of product-service systems by applying co-creation methods. This paper presents a case of how we applied co-creation in practice and the impact this has had on developing a circular product-service system. It details the method used in the co-creation process and...journal article 2021

Rutkowska, J. (author), Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author), Lamas, D. (author)The role of service deliverables in the early phases of service development has been studied both in academia and practice. We lack knowledge on the impact of service deliverables for the later phases of the service development process in which service designers are usually not engaged. In this paper, we aim to understand what attributes of...conference paper 2020

Wabeke, E.L. (author), Boess, S.U. (author), Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author), Silvester, S. (author)Existing residential housing has to become more sustainable to meet global<br/>CO2 reduction goals. Zero energy home refurbishment is one approach to achieve this. Rather than the currently common behaviour change approach, this study investigates residents’ experiences and practices with regard to their home environment. The study consists of...conference paper 2020

Rutkowska, J. (author), Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author), Lamas, D.

Designers and non-designers seek information and inspiration for their work both in a non-design world, e.g., in films, illustrated...conference paper 2019

Raijmakers, B (author), Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author), Scheepers, Renee (author)In many Western societies, decisions about leaving home and spending your last years in a care home are often taken suddenly. Immediate health issues force family, friends and neighbours who offer informal support to ask for immediate formal support. Such urgent situations do not lead to the best solutions.conference paper 2018

Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author)In Research through Design knowledge is generated, but not always captured and shared effectively. When working in a multidisciplinary team of, e.g. designers, design researchers, academic researchers and domain practitioners confusion about<br/>roles, processes, and results easily occurs. In a series of three Research through Design cases we...conference paper 2018

Stappers, P.J. (author), Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author)Doing design and doing research are related activities. When doing design in a (PhD) research project, a number of confusions pop up. These confusions stem from the fact that most of the basic terms, such as ‘designer’, ‘research’, and ‘product’, have many connotations but not a shared definition. Because design research often happens in a multi...conference paper 2014

Schifferstein, H.N.J. (author), Sleeswijk Visser, F.

Hence, it is important for designers to be able to create products that elicit different experiences. In this chapter we discuss a design approach that takes the creation of specific user experience as...book chapter 2013

Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author)Products play a role in our everyday lives. Insight into the experiences of people in their everyday lives is of great use for designing products. For example, the contexts in which products are used (physical, social, culture etc.) and the state (excited, tired, concentrated etc.) of the users influence how they experience using products....doctoral thesis 2009
