Design Studies Award
We are pleased to announce the winner of the 2015 Design Studies
Award, for the best paper published in the journal. The award is to be
made to Joel Chan (University of Pittsburgh), Steven Dow (Carnegie
Mellon University) and Christian Schunn (University of Pittsburgh) for
their paper 'Do the best ideas (really) come from conceptually distant
sources of inspiration?' in Vol. 36, pp 31-58.
The Design Studies Award is made annually, jointly by the Design
Research Society and the journal publishers, Elsevier Science. It
comprises a certificate and a prize of GBP500. The criteria for the
Award, in order of priority, are: contribution to the development of
the field of design research, originality of research or scholarship,
breadth of relevance, and clarity and style of presentation. Votes for
the Award are cast by the journal Editors and a group of Officers of
the DRS.
Abstract
Design ideas often come from sources of inspiration (e.g.,
analogous designs, prior experiences). In this paper, we test the
popular but unevenly supported hypothesis that conceptually distant
sources of inspiration provide the best insights for creative
production. Through text analysis of hundreds of design concepts
across a dozen different design challenges on a Web-based innovation
platform that tracks connections to sources of inspiration, we find
that citing sources is associated with greater creativity of ideas,
but conceptually closer rather than farther sources appear more
beneficial. This inverse relationship between conceptual distance and
design creativity is robust across different design problems on the
platform. In light of these findings, we revisit theories of design
inspiration and creative cognition.

CALLS
Co-design and the Public Realm.
Special Issue of CoDesign - International Journal of CoCreation in
Design and the Arts
Guest editors: Liesbeth Huybrechts, Michael Kaethler, Hilde Heynen,
Henric Benesch, Jessica Schoffelen
SCOPE Co-design's engagement with the public realm is rooted in an
activist tradition aspiring to increase democratic participation of
diverse societal groups in design activities related to public space,
services, systems or policy. This is partly due to its historical
relationship with the tradition of Scandinavian Participatory Design
(PD) that developed in the 1970s and shared concerns and values with
labour unions in emancipating workers at the workplace (Bannon & Ehn,
2012, p. 39; Lenskjold, Olander, Halse, 2015). However, since the rise
of the Post-Fordist era, the engagement of co-design with the public
realm has changed: it has been influenced by increasing globalisation,
flexibility, rapid technological developments, a highly diverse and
competitive market and accordingly changing social conditions (Boudry
et al, 2003, 43). Many aspects that were traditionally part of the
public domain - such as mobility or communication infrastructure -
shifted to the private domain, resulting in progressively more complex
relations with governance and regulation (Graham & Marvin, 1994;
Davis, 1990; Harvey 1994, Christopherson 1994). In short, in a
Post-Fordist context, designing takes place across previously
delineated contrasting pillars (or economic sectors, socio-political
families, and discourses), such as public/private, work/leisure,
local/global, the boundaries between which become increasingly
blurred.
In Design for The Real World (1971), Papanek saw engaging with
activism and the market as antithetical. Post-fordism has eradicated
prior distinctions, whereby today co-design is being simultaneously
applied to improving labour relations, consumption and political
activism, by bringing a wide range of actors together to identify and
develop that which is to come. In this context, it is not unusual that
participation and co-design act as a conduit for market forces and
other forms of private interest. This has again - but in different
ways than in the 1970s - intensified the discourse in co-design on the
political and public sphere. This prompts some questions that we would
like to address in the framework of this special issue.
- What are the consequences, tensions and challenges of co-design
engaging with the public realm when that realm is increasingly
entangled with private forces?
- What concepts, frameworks, tools, methods are used and what values
are pursued to answer these challenges?
- In an era of growing social, ecological and economic injustice, is
the answer found in the mobilisation of all possible forces,
including design, in order to challenge the marketisation of the
political?
- Or, on the contrary, is the answer to pull back and rethink
co-design in this era of blurred boundaries?
- Additionally, are divisions between public and private productive;
or are there other alternatives?
We invite authors to submit research papers in relation to one or more
of the above questions. Fieldwork can be used to enrich the discussion
on the above questions and to allow us to revisit co-design addressing
the public realm in a Post-Fordist era.

AIGA Design Educators Community journal, “Dialectic"
Announcing the inaugural Call-for-Papers for the AIGA Design Educators
Community new journal, "Dialectic"
You are invited to submit a paper for potential inclusion in the
inaugural issue of Dialectic, a biannual journal devoted to the
critical examination of issues that affect design education, research,
and inquiry into their effects on the practice of design. Michigan
Publishing, the hub of scholarly publishing at the University of
Michigan, will publish Dialectic on behalf of the AIGA (American
Institute of Graphic Arts) Design Educators Community (DEC). Dialectic
welcomes the following types of submissions, which are described in
more detail below:
- research papers
- long-form case study reports/case series reports
- position papers
- criticism of designed artifacts, systems, and processes
- reviews of books, exhibitions, and conferences
- survey papers
- theoretical speculations
Each piece that Dialectic will publish must be:
- based on fundamentally sound scholarship and inquiry
- written so that is broadly accessible
- on topics relevant to its audiences
The inaugural issue of Dialectic seeks submissions of papers that will
enlighten and inform a diverse audience of design educators engaged
not only in classroom teaching experiences but also in differing forms
of research and professional practice. The journal's advisory and
editorial boards recognize that design education, along with design
research and professional practice, exist in relationships that are
now broadly informed by theoretical frameworks and applications of
knowledge derived from the social and applied sciences, the humanities
and other professions such as business, education and media studies.
The outcomes of these synergies often result in the invention,
discovery, understanding, and dissemination of new knowledge,
innovation, and best practices. Because of the heterogeneous makeup of
Dialectic's targeted readership, and their respective educational
realities and career goals, the journal welcomes articles of varying
types and focus that address differing topics, issues, and interests.
Dialectic will publish papers that meet the following categorical
descriptions:
Research papers (3,000 to 4,500 words)
These articles will recount how designers and design teams identified
a situation that was problematic, formulated and operated research to
understand the various factors, conditions and people involved that
were affecting the situation, and then used their analysis of the data
gathered from this research to guide design decision-making toward
improving this situation. This type of writing should be grounded in
evidentiary processes, and should clearly explicate a hypothesis, as
well as posit and support a methodology and some form of a measurable
data set.
Long-form case study reports or case series reports (3,000 to 4,500
words)
These articles will describe how a particular person, group, project,
event, experience or situation has been studied and analyzed, using
one or more methods, during a specific span of time. These
contributions should posit insights that exist as logical subsets of a
larger category, and that are at least tangentially generalizable to
the category. A case series report collectively describes how a group
of individuals have responded to a particular type of treatment,
experience or interaction. They can be used to help analyze and assess
the responses of a cross-section of individual users to one or more
iterations of an interface design, or an environmental graphics or
wayfinding system, or a series of data visualizations.
Position papers (2,000 to 3,000 words);
These essays will present the readership of Dialectic with an
opinion--of the author, or of a specified group of people or
organization--about an issue or set of issues in a way or ways that
make particular values and the belief systems that guide them known.
Design criticism (as long-form essays of between 2,000 and 3,000
words)
The goal of these pieces is to critically analyze design
decision-making, and the affects that making and using what has been
designed have on the operation and evolution of social, technological,
economic, environmental and political systems.
Reviews of books, exhibitions, conferences, etc. (750 to 1,500 words)
These shorter articles are written to critically analyze the efficacy
of the structure, content, style, and relative merit of their
particular subjects in ways that combine the author's personal
reactions and arguments to it with his/her assessment of how
effectively it fulfilled or failed in its purpose.
Survey papers (2,000 to 3,000 words)
These pieces are written to clearly summarize, organize, and analyze a
select, topical grouping of scholarly articles, research papers, or
case studies in a way that integrates and adds to the understanding of
the work in a given discipline or field of study.
Theoretical speculations (3,000 to 4,500 words)
These contributions will consist of attempts by their authors to
explain a particular phenomenon, set of circumstances, or situational
construct based on their ability to utilize observations rather than
hard evidence to fuel speculative thoughts and suppositions. These
contributions should be grounded in a viable paradigm, or use theory
as a viable justification for what has been observed, and should be
internally coherent and advance logical conclusions.
Original visual essays and narratives
Dialectic invites submissions from designers or teams of designers
that are comprised primarily or solely of imagery. The criteria
specified in the "Illustrations, Graphics, and Photos" section of the
"2016-17 Submissions Guidelines for Dialectic" document must be met,
and submissions that are assessed by the Editorial Board and/or
external reviewers to be visually compelling and conceptually
provocative will be considered for publication, pending the
availability of page space in a given issue.
Editorial responses from Dialectic readers (750 to 1,200 words)
Dialectic encourages its readers to submit critical responses to
specific articles, editorials, or visual pieces that have been
published in previous issues. Authors are also welcome to bring any
issues that they believe are pertinent to the attention of Dialectic's
readership. Editorial commentary relative to specific published
articles and pieces will be sent to their author(s) so they can
respond.

22-24 March 2017 - New Disciplines of Making - Shared Knowledge in
Doing
2017, National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh UK Website:
http://researchthroughdesign.org/2017/ Twitter:@RTD2017
1st Call for Submissions
We are excited to invite submissions for the third biennial Research
Through Design (RTD) conference to be held in Edinburgh, UK, between
the 22nd and 24th of March 2017. RTD supports the dissemination of
practice-based research through a novel and experimental conference
format, comprising a curated exhibition of design research,
accompanied by round-table discussions in 'Rooms of Interest'. The
exhibition will be used as a platform for presenting and demonstrating
research processes and outputs, and for generating debate on the role
of the design practitioner and their work in a research context.
Building on the success of the second RTD conference held in Microsoft
Research's lab in Cambridge in 2015, the third conference, RTD 2017,
is to be hosted at the National Museum of Scotland (NMS) in Edinburgh.
This promises to be an exciting venue for exploring new and emerging
making disciplines, in a sustainably minded and socially aware
community of practice. RTD 2017 offers a unique opportunity for
conference exhibits to be juxtaposed with traditional curated NMS
artefacts and collections, challenging contemporary and future notions
of value and expertise.
We invite submissions from researcher-practitioners documenting
research through design projects, including descriptions of methods,
processes and insights emerging from design inquiry. It is anticipated
that this will offer a departure point for rich discussion. Criteria
for selection are based on the author's presentation of artefacts
(constituting research process or outcomes) and should be central to
their submission. Artefacts will be included in the curated
exhibition, and papers should accompany the exhibited artefact in a
presentation of 'research through design' at the conference.
Conference proceedings will be publicly available via Figshare
(http://figshare.com/).
Key dates:
Submission of Abstract: 23rd June 2016
Authors Notified: 1st August 2016
Full Paper Submission Deadline: 6th October 2016

She Ji - the Journal of Design, Economics, and Innovation
Call for Papers
She Ji is a peer-reviewed, trans-disciplinary design journal published
by Elsevier in collaboration with Tongji University and Tongji
University Press. The first issue appeared in September 2015. Current
issues are available on the journal web site at:
http://www.elsevier.com/journals/she-ji-the-journal-of-design-
economics-andinnovation/2405-8726
She Ji focuses on economics and innovation, design process and design
thinking. Our mission is to enable design innovation in industry,
business, non-profit services, and government through economic and
social value creation.
Innovation requires integrating ideas, economics, and technology to
create new knowledge at the intersection of different fields. She Ji
provides a unique forum for this inter- disciplinary inquiry.
She Ji addresses how societies, organizations, and individuals create,
build, distribute, use, and enjoy goods and services, with an added
focus on strategy and management. The journal also explores the way
that organizations increasingly use design thinking to achieve
organisational goals, and the journal examines how design thinking can
inform wider social, managerial, and intellectual discourses. She Ji
also publishes articles in research methods and methodology,
philosophy, and philosophy of science to support the core journal
area.
She Ji invites papers on topics within our remit. Articles of interest
might cover such issues as:
- Design-driven innovation for social and economic change
- Design practices in management, consulting, and public service
- Alternative economies and industrial transformation
- Design for smart and sustainable living
- Latest design theories
- Methods and methodologies for design research
- Design for social innovation, organizational change, and education
- Design, computation, and algorithms
- Cultural aspects of design and innovation
- Philosophy of design
- Philosophy of science in design research
In particular, She Ji encourages three new dimensions in the
literature of design and innovation:
(1) serious economic inquiry and management inquiry;
(2) rigorous research in design using the methods of the natural
sciences, social sciences, and economics;
(3) methodological contributions that deploy innovative research
methods and processes.
We encourage rich illustration. There are no charges for
illustrations, colour is welcome, and authors may use images, charts,
or diagrams as appropriate. There is no limit on the number of images,
charts, or diagrams in an
She Ji publishes seven types of articles:
1) Original research articles. She Ji welcomes conceptual,
theoretical, and empirical articles. All research articles are subject
to double - blind peer review. Following peer review, She Ji works
with authors on a final round of copy editing to ensure highly
readable articles that will reach and influence a wide audience of
scholars, researchers, and professional designers, teachers and
students, as well as leaders in business, industry, and government.
2) Review articles. She Ji encourages literature review and research
review articles. Review articles use double-blind peer review followed
by copy editing.
3) Case studies. She Ji publishes two kinds of case study articles.
The journal welcomes original research articles involving rigorous
case studies and reflection. Research case studies use double-blind
peer review. The journal also welcomes short case reports in the short
communications category.
4) Short communications. She Ji welcomes short reports or research
announcements that describe work in progress with preliminary research
results. Short communications are not subject to peer review.
5) Book reviews. Books reviews focus on analysis and discussion of
individual books as well as extended book reviews covering several
books. She Ji also publishes short book notes. Book reviews are not
subject to peer review.
6) Discussion articles. Discussion articles include interviews,
opinion leader commentary, and dialogues. Discussion articles are not
subject to peer review.
7) Letters. She Ji encourages written responses to articles and
original comments on issues relevant to the journal. Letters to the
editor are limited to 1,500 words. All letters commenting on articles
will be sent to the author of the original article for response.
Selected letters will be published in She Ji. Letters are not subject
to peer review.
She Ji is fully open access. Tongji University and Tongji University
Press support She Ji as a contribution to the design field and a
public service to design research.

12-14 April 2017 - 12th EUROPEAN ACADEMY of DESIGN CONFERENCE, to be
held in ROME at Sapienza University of Rome , Italy
Soon we are launching the CALL FOR PAPERS, POSTERS and WORKSHOPS
designfornext.org
The conference THEME is: DESIGN FOR NEXT
Contemporary shifts in society, technology, production are reframing
design processes, approaches and tools. While professionals, educators
and researchers are questioning the next stage of innovation, design
is evolving as a wide open field with many applications and meanings.
More than ever it is important to investigate through design research
and practice in order to tackle the societal, technological and
industrial shifts of the future.
The 12th EAD Conference is hosted by Sapienza University of Rome in
Italy, and it will foster discussion among designers, academics and
experts about the articulated scenario of contemporary design and its
perspectives, with intent to nurture diversity and
interdisciplinarity. 'Design for Next ...' is the title and topic of
the Conference: 'Next' implies the concept of proximity as well as of
destination, related to time and to physical space. The conference
seeks to discover future fields of investigation in design, as well to
discover and to connect the space and the people who share common
interests in design research.
We invite contributions from professionals, academics and students to
address the following questions with their own research, projects and
experiences: What is Design for the Next? And what is the 'Next' focus
of Design?
The Conference is organized into 9 parallel tracks in order to address
9 wide fields of DESIGN FOR NEXT...AESTHETICS | ECONOMY | EDUCATION |
ENVIRONMENT | HEALTH | INDUSTRY | SOCIETY | TECHNOLOGY | THINKING
Each track will focus around a keyword to engage and tackle the
different fields of Design research and practice. Together, in this
process, we will draw the big picture of Next Design.....

9-10 June 2017 - International Workshop at Koc University, Istanbul,
Turkey
CfP: Material, Spatial and Sensory Encounters with the Picturebook
Object
From hornbooks to i-pads, children's reading experiences have been
mediated via transforming book systems in ways serving to educate, to
entertain, and to facilitate narrative. Material and sensory aspects
of picturebooks also have the capacity to act as a third narrative
system, operating beside words and images.These aspects may engage and
challenge the child to comprehend a subject through the experiential
handling of the picturebook, resulting in an embodied meaning-making
process. The exposure to these types of picturebooks may turn into a
creative encounter, curated experience, an event or a performance.
Physical interactions may be explored further in printed as well as
digital picturebooks with the rise of multimodal literacies supported
with novel technologies that can support diverse needs.
Through this workshop we seek to explore the educational,
developmental, creative and intimate qualities of materials and
structures in picturebooks. What is the importance of materiality in
meaning construction for the child? How do spatial and sensory
encounters influence a child's understanding of a narrative, their
recollection of the story? What does the future hold in relation to
the physical and digital realms of children's reading? How can this
reading experience involve active participation through different
materialities?
The purpose of this international workshop is to bring together
scholars and experts of children's literature, children's media, art
and design, education, psychology and other cross-disciplinary fields
from different countries who are particularly interested in
picturebooks that explore material, spatial and sensory experiences.
We therefore invite papers dealing with one or several of the
following topics:
- picturebooks appealing to the senses (edible, audio, tactile,
scented)
- accessories and inserted gadgets, altered vision in picturebooks
- transformative technology (surfaces, chemicals, and processes)
- materiality and metaphor
- materialities that support reading in special needs - physical form
and narrative correspondence (volvelles, panoramas, scrolls, accordion
books etc.)
- unconventional handling of picturebooks
- physical space and narrative space, interactive reading
- picturebooks as an event, an installation, an architecture
- embodied reading of picturebooks

ACM Interactions magazine - seeking new editors
Ron Wakkary and I have now been Editors-in-Chief of the ACM
Interactions magazine for six years (http://interactions.acm.org/). It
is time to let go. We are finishing up our last year and ACM is now
searching for new editors
http://interactions.acm.org/acm-seeks-editors-for-acm-interactions
It has been some great years. It has been a privilege to work with so
many outstanding colleagues in the field, famous and unknown, old and
young, academics and practitioners...those who deliver what they
promise and those who don't :-)
I have learned a lot. Read things I would never had read otherwise.
Seen research and ideas that I would not have cared about. Met people
that I would never have met. It has been fascinating, fun and
enlightning. So, if you are interested, just apply! It is good to be
two so you can share the work.

5-6 September 2016 - Call for papers: Tracing the Bridge Drawing
Research Network Conference. Loughborough University
The conference aims to explore the notion of drawing as a 'bridge'. In
'tracing the bridge' we suggest that a bridge is a richly metaphorical
concept: it bridges a gap, acknowledges a space between and creates a
structure to span it, and explores the idea of crossing back and
forth. In respecting different territories a bridge puts them in
contact with one another. What was a space of separation becomes an
area to effect connections, a substantial form drawing on and linking
two constituent parts. In considering these conceptual positions, can
drawing be considered as synonymous with the bridge?
The conference aims to provide a space for discussion, dissemination
and the exchange of knowledge and suggests the following as starting
points in the discussion, as possible themes, as prompts and as
provocations:
- How might drawing function as the interlocutor between practice and
theory?
- What role does drawing play in fields beyond the creative practices?
- How might drawing span diversities of discipline, gender and
culture?
- Is drawing the mediator between the self and other?
The conveners would like to invite proposals for a 20-minute
presentation from practitioners, theorists and
practitioner-researchers, which aim to generate debate around the
concept of drawing as a bridge. Please upload your proposals using
this link https://tracey.submittable.com/submit, and following the
onscreen instructions, by Monday 20th June 2016.
Please include the following information:

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Research List to Develop Expertise In Research Impact
This list will allow academics to have conversations about research
impact, ahead of the Research Excellence Framework submission in 2020
and to find out about opportunities to collaborate.
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/impact
Epi-Search (http://epi-search.com) is the only research tool on the
web which allows you to input up to 10,000 words as your search query
(i.e. whole articles, papers, book chapters)
Epi-search then runs a "find more like this search" to recommend books
from the 5000 volume ISCE.edu library shows you how and why the
results shown were recommended AND provides links to "good" related
searches from 9 academic databases including:
Google Scholar related academic results PhilPaper related philosophy
results MIT CogNet related cognitive science results (citations only)
CiteSeer related academic results DeepDyve related articles (abstracts
only) JSTOR related resources (citations only) Taylor and Francis
related resources (abstracts only) OUP Scholarship Online Epi-Search
is a conceptual search tool that out performs traditional searching
algorithms because it is able to make use of concepts that are fully
expressed in other documents.
Epi-search takes queries of 50 to 10,000 words and performs several
functions: 1) a "find more like this" search identifies contextually
related documents from the ISCE.edu library, 2) displays key concepts
and terms from the query and presents them in word clouds, and 3)
transforms extracted terms and concepts into "enhanced queries" that
are sent directly into more than a dozen third-party online databases.
Epi-search can play a key role in research where the use of whole
paragraphs of text is more effective at finding contextually relevant
material than the use of simple keywords and tags.
Your students will benefit from knowing about and using this FREE
tool.
Use Cases:
1) Organizing thoughts for further reading
Students can take free form notes and submit them as a whole to
Epi-Search. The site then recommends further reading material and
associated concepts and keywords.
2) Discovering unexpected sources
Students can take their current draft of a paper and use it as a query
to discover other reference sources which they should be citing.
3) Exploring related areas of inquiry
Students can take their current draft of notes or a paper and use it
as a query to discover other materials related to their draft all
based on "find-more-like-this."
Epi-Search is like giving each student their own personal reference
librarian to help them do research.
Eli-Search is a FREE service of the The Institute for the Study of
Coherence and Emergence.

Art and design is a domain in which practical and bodily experiences
provide an essential foundation for making and production. This volume
brings together a variety of artists concerns around the convergence
that has been taking place in academia between art and design in
practice and the practice of research. While the practice of research
aims at the generation of new knowledge, art and design practice
predominantly aims at the creation of new artefacts. There are
tensions inherent in this convergence that lead practitioners toward
new experiential knowledge and understanding of their own unique or
shared creative practices. These papers take a critical look at the
interactive and dynamic relationship between experience and
articulation from the perspective of practicing artist-researchers who
deal with materiality in their practice. The volume highlights
ontological, epistemological, and methodological issues of
contemporary artistic and design research as it is currently
developing internationally.
