Goss, H. (author), Tromp, N. (author), Schifferstein, Hendrik N.J. (author)In recent years, more designers have been engaging in transitions for which design activity is used to develop innovations that steer change. However, little is known about how designers develop innovations to foster change along a desired transition path. In this short paper, we explore how designers can develop joint innovations that steer a...conference paper 2023

Ristau, S. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author), Smulders, F.E.H.M. (author)This paper addresses the question how design for experience can be integrated into the product innovation practices of fast-moving consumer products, to increase impact and deliver additional (emotional) value to consumers. To achieve this, theories of the leading experts in the field have been reviewed, key principles of designing for...conference paper 2023

de Wit, S.I. (author)Designed form is not about creating a good appearance. Nor is it restricted to the small scale. The small scale, however, can be used as a valuable playground and laboratory for large scale landscape designs. Three case studies are compared in which similar compositional principles are used at different scales and complexities: the technical,...conference paper 2023

Hajdu, E. (author), Ertürkan, H. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)This paper explores the traditional distinction between problem- and possibility-driven design for promoting user well-being. Problem-driven design identifies and addresses unfulfilled needs to reduce ill-being (i.e., the first space of design for well-being), while possibility-driven design seeks to enhance well-being without addressing...conference paper 2023

Hasankhani, M. (author), van Engelen, J.M.L. (author), Celik, S (author), Diehl, J.C. (author)Distributed hydrogen infrastructures have emerged as a complementary element in the quest for sustainable energy solutions, with potential applications in regions featuring high industrial demands and spatially resolved negative residual loads. These infrastructures can contribute to the decarbonization of electricity, heating, and transport...conference paper 2023

Xue, H. (author), Zheng, Qianqian (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)Human moods are diffuse, elusive, and often difficult to articulate, yet they hold immense potential for wellbeing-centric design because they play a significant role in shaping our everyday life experiences. A person’s mood influences their experiences with a designed system, and in turn, their interactions with the design also influence their...conference paper 2023

(author), Shklovski, Irina (author)Sensor networks are increasingly commonplace in visions of smart cities and future healthcare systems, promising greater efficiency and increased wellbeing. However, the design of these technologies remains focused on specific users and fragmented by context, overlooking the diversity of needs, wants and values present when technologies, people,...conference paper 2023

Proesmans, P. (author), Morlupo, F. (author), Santos, Bruno F. (author), Vos, Roelof (author)To reduce the climate impact of aviation, researchers are studying the replacement of fossil kerosene with liquid hydrogen and/or drop-in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). These fuels can bring significant reductions in CO2 emissions and can offer savings in terms of non-CO2 climate effects. In addition, tube-and-wing aircraft can be optimized to...conference paper 2023

van der Stap, Florian L. (author), Nielsen, Martin B. (author), Owen, C.C. (author), van der Male, P. (author), Hendrikse, H. (author)For the design of offshore foundations in regions such as the Baltic Sea, it is paramount that ice-structure interaction is appropriately considered. For the monopile, a common foundation for offshore wind turbines, challenges with ice-induced vibrations and high ridge loads may require ice-mitigating measures to be included in the design. A ...conference paper 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

Vieth, A. (author), Lelieveldt, B.P.F. (author), Eisemann, E. (author), Vilanova, Anna (author), Höllt, T. (author)High-dimensional images (i.e., with many attributes per pixel) are commonly acquired in many domains, such as geosciences or systems biology. The spatial and attribute information of such data are typically explored separately, e.g., by using coordinated views of an image representation and a low-dimensional embedding of the high-dimensional...conference paper 2023

Huang, S. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)The relevance of human needs is generally recognized in human-centered design research and practice. However, a challenge of working with needs is that the word “need” can be interpreted in various ways, which can hinder effective communication and collaboration. Need typologies, in such cases, can serve as a shared language by providing an...conference paper 2023

Di Lodovico, Chiara (author), Colombo, S. (author), Rapp, Amon (author)Ambiguity is gaining attention in self-tracking research as a means to go beyond the mere quantification of body signals. Recent research has suggested that ambiguity can be used even to enable social connection mediated by personal data. To explore this design space more widely, we organized two design workshops with a total of 67...conference paper 2023

van der Niet, A.M. (author), Claij, C.C. (author), Saunders-Smits, Gillian (author)In 2020, a new two-year MSc programme in robotics was launched. Unlike most existing robotics programmes, which approach robotics from a specific discipline, this programme aims to train multi-deployable robot generalists using a cognitive approach (no hardware creation). The field of robotics is multidisciplinary by nature and educating...conference paper 2023

van den Berge, R.B.R. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Modularity represents a promising design strategy for product lifetime extension. Yet, the fact that products are physically designed to be repaired via such a modular design, does not mean consumers will act accordingly. Past research demonstrated promising results with current modular smartphone users. However, these users may not necessarily...conference paper 2023

Teeuwen, R.F.L. (author), Psyllidis, A. (author)Accessible outdoor spaces for unsupervised play are important for children’s health. However, parents impose constraints based on their perception of safety, which can have a significant impact on which play spaces are actually accessible to children. Such constraints are not taken into account by widely adopted accessibility indicators that use...conference paper 2023
