Mattioli, F. (author), Figoli, Fabio (author), Stappers, P.J. (author)As design research matures, more designers pursue a PhD. In its turn, the PhD itself is changing from a solitary preparation for a career in academia toward an increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary and international experience and a greater variety of jobs. These developments call for greater opportunities for PhD candidates to build their...conference paper 2024

Amplifying weak signals: A method-building approach for inclusive climate resilience strategy makingChamplin, C.J. (author), Eapen, Ann (author), Vitkutė, R. (author), Groot, Janne (author), Forgaci, C. (author)Socio-ecological inclusion and the impacts of climate change on the built environment are two shared concerns central to the design and planning of the just transition in cities. The just transition leans heavily on inclusive convergence processes that are grounded in knowledge integration and transdisciplinary practice. However, there is a...journal article 2024

Nicenboim, I. (author), Oogjes, Doenja (author), Biggs, Heidi (author), Nam, Seowoo (author)While decentering the human has been a key approach in posthumanist HCI, there are still questions and tensions around it. To address them, we outline emergent notions of decentering, tracing it back from HCI to critical posthumanism and connecting epistemological developments in the humanities to design scholarship. Then, reviewing how...journal article 2023

Cannatella, D. (author), Nijhuis, S. (author)This chapter draws on three different design studios that focus on the Pearl River Delta to discuss what kind of knowledge has been generated within them, and how they can be used systematically as a method to address the region’s complex challenges. The three studios differ in their objectives, duration and structure, but are linked by a...book chapter 2023

Ghodrat, S. (author), Sandhir, P. (author), Huisman, G. (author)Wearable haptic assistive devices can provide tactile information to visually impaired people (VIP) to support independent living. However, electromechanical haptic feedback has a number of disadvantages, including hardware being relatively heavy, large, and producing excessive sound. Here, we present a design-driven investigation of the...journal article 2023

Lechelt, Susan (author), Duffy, Clare (author), Morgan, E. (author), Murray-Rust, D.S. (author), Nissen, Bettina (author)In this case study, we document the process of engaging in an initially unplanned and informal knowledge exchange activity between academic researchers and a local performing arts company. This knowledge exchange activity quickly became a fruitful collaboration during which an academic design research prototype was reimagined as a wholly new...conference paper 2023

Meulendijks, Paul (author), van Haren, Neeltje E.M. (author), Gielen, M.A. (author), van Veelen-Vincent, Marie Lise C. (author)Introduction: Paediatric patients with disorders that involve brain functioning are particularly vulnerable with respect to including them in shared decision-making. Current tools are mostly paper or digital patient information. We lay the groundwork for improving engagement with a concept that we coined ‘the Self-Portrait’. The main goals...journal article 2022

Fedlmeier, A. (author), Bruijnes, M. (author), Bos-de Vos, M. (author), Lemke, M. (author), Kraal, J.J. (author)Changing a specific health behaviour can be highly com- plex and is often influenced by many personal, social, and environmental factors. Therefore, interventions that aim at behaviour change cannot be one-size-fits-all solutions, and no behaviour change technique is effective for everyone. One potential solution could be to support individuals...journal article 2022

Boon, Boudewijn (author)Young children often lack opportunities to play in a physically active way. This is particularly the case for children with cancer and other chronic diseases, who regularly undergo periods of hospitalization. Promoting their physical activity and play can contribute to their health, wellbeing, and development. This thesis develops ‘Playscapes’ –...doctoral thesis 2020

Robbins, H.V. (author), Giaccardi, Elisa (author)This article accounts for how value in design research can be derived from knowledge exchange that occurs through the collaborative discourse of doing design. To demonstrate this point, the article details the arc and impact of a design research collaboration that extended over several years with design practitioners in the field of internet...journal article 2019

Boon, Boudewijn (author), Rozendaal, M.C. (author), Stappers, P.J. (author)Design is increasingly concerned with changing people’s behaviours. A common characteristic to behavioural design approaches is their directionality: products<br/>provide clarity about or guidance towards the designer’s intended behavioural outcome. In this paper we propose an alternative perspective that emphasizes<br/>ambiguity (i.e. affording...conference paper 2018

Lenzholzer, Sanda (author), Nijhuis, S. (author), Cortesao, Joao (author)The discussion regarding the relation of design and research in landscape architecture started somewhat later than in other design disciplines. But the past decade has shown a sharp rise of publications on ‘research through/by design(ing)’ (RTD). The literature has now reached a level of richness that enables a review of the State of the Art and...conference paper 2018

Annotated portfolios have so far been used to support artefacts with text in order to discuss them in the context of ‘research through design’ In this paper, we interpret the five-step method of McCracken...conference paper 2018

Vegt, N.J.H. (author), Visch, V.T. (author)In this paper we propose an approach towards designing social games or game elements for changing people’s social behavior for serious applications. We use the concept of the magic circle, which outlines the experience of a game world as different from the real world. We can design a connection between these worlds through space, time, and...conference paper 2013

Ortíz Nicolás, J.C. (author), Schoormans, J.P.L. (author), Aurisicchio, M. (author)Durable products are often described by users relying on personality traits, e.g. serious or happy. Understanding the relationships between product attributes and personality traits has the potential to influence product consumption. This article explores the possibility of designing product appearance with predefined personalities. An approach...conference paper 2011
