Description

The Design Archeology Research Kit (D.ARK) helps to extract knowledge from the material remains of old projects. D.ARK supports the user in re-constructing past experiences through ambiguous visualizations. This ambiguity allows the user to appropriate and give meaning to the visualizations, which aides in recounting the past from new perspectives.

Through taking an approach that builds upon archeological practice, designers can gain new insights about their practice from analyzing the material remains of past projects. This ‘Design Archeology’ can help navigate the complex ‘now’ through uncovering the hidden past and shed light on a multitude of possible, plausible, and preferrable futures.

As a part of the informal design collective Stijp-D (Instagram: @stijp_d) Studio From There organized and participated in the Standard Shipping expo at Dutch Design Week 2024.

Standard Shipping Design Challenge

Shipping products to a design festival can be one of the most significant expenses, especially for international participants. This cost is often driven up by the need for specialized packaging or shipping methods to ensure that items arrive safely at the exhibition.

To make shipping more affordable and convenient, postal services offer standardized pricing based on specific packaging dimensions. By using these predefined packaging limits, we are challenging designers from The Netherlands, Sweden, and America to develop fun and creative products that fit within these restrictions. This approach not only reduces shipping costs but also pushes the boundaries of innovative design within a practical framework.

In this design research project I explored the experiential side of participation in urban planning. Through designing the “What’s going Ön?” experience I explored how Virtual Reality(VR) can play a role in the participation of citizens in the urban planning process of the Ön island in Umeå, Sweden. In the research pictorial I present the designed experience and the qualities that play a role in using VR as a tool for participation in Urban Planning.

Description

As data is becoming increasingly important for decision making in municipalities, we ask ourselves what this data actually means. With BIAS, we explore the value of subjectivity in the act of data representation and data sharing, to facilitate informed debate and constructive discussions. Can one’s subjectivity (values, background and role in society) be of value when interpreting data?

Our tool allows for interpretation of sets of data through being able to model one’s own perspective regarding the relationships of these data points. As an addition to Telos’ statistical data reports, BIAS uncovers hidden values which facilitates constructive debate.
