The conference theme DESIGN REVOLUTIONS will explore how design drives and responds to revolutionary thinking through questioning the norm, probing the now and embracing the new. For the first time IASDR will be held in the UK and will foster new thinking towards a compelling, meaningful and radical dialogue regarding the role that design plays in addressing societal and organisational issues. The biannual conference enables academics, practitioners and students join together to explore contemporary agendas, emerging directions and future challenges that are at the forefront of design research. IASDR 2019 will provide opportunities for the presentation and publication of a collection of high-quality peer reviewed research papers alongside the space to discuss and debate the evolution and revolution of design. Conference website: www.iasdr2019.org TRACKS IASDR 2019 is organised under 10 parallel tracks that reflect the breadth and opportunities of the norm, the now and the new of design research: - Change revolution and evolution of design as it responds to the context in which it operates - Learning design as a part of the learning process that supports creativity within the current education system - Living design shaping the way we live through our consumption of products, the services we use and the cities we inhabit impacting the environment, health and wellbeing of all - Making harnessing of the creative possibilities of materials and processes by design and making, - People social and cultural connection with design for, and with, people to meet the needs of citizens today and in the future - Technology from digital automation to machine learning and artificial intelligence to the Internet of Things, the engagement of design in an increasingly complex technology landscape - Value management of design to maximise the economic value and communicate the relationship between design and business effectively - Voices diversity in design voices to break the boundary of power and hierarchal socio-political systems - Open other critical debate in design research with out of the box thinking, challenging conventions and probe the norm KEY DATES 15 October 2018 - Call for Papers 15 November 2018 - Full paper submission opens 15 February 2019 - Final deadline for full paper submission 01 April 2019 - Delegate registration opens 30 April 2019 - Announcement of paper decisions 31 May 2019 - Early bird registration closes 15 June 2019 - Camera ready paper submission 15 August 2019 - Late registration closes 02 September 2019 IASDR 2019 Conference SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Full papers should be 4000-5000 words in length excluding abstract and references.

However, forms of normativity not necessarily connected with verbal or written language emerge in the social reality. A number of normative phenomena (e.g. folk law, customs, pictorial law, graphic rules, hostile architecture, animal societies) widely described in the literature do not seem to involve the use of words. Indeed, apparently, in these cases, rules have non-lexical nature. Phenomenology and Mind invites submissions for a special issue dedicated to Rules without Words: Inquiries into Non-linguistic Normativities. This special issue aims to bring together researchers from all around the world who focus on non-linguistic rules from different philosophical perspectives: social philosophy, philosophy of law and jurisprudence, epistemology, political philosophy, philosophy of language, media studies, philosophy of architecture, philosophy of design, performance studies, ethology, cognitive science and social psychology, gender studies. The main purpose of this special issue is to provide a critical overview of some of the most interesting topics and methodologies from the current philosophical debate, focusing on (but not limited to) the following issues: 1. Ontology of non-linguistic rules - What are the distinctive ontological features of non-linguistic rules? - What are the relations between non-linguistic rules and social reality? - Are non-linguistic rules essentially connected to human societies or do they regulate the social life of some non-human members of the animal kingdom? 2. Epistemology of non-linguistic rules - What are the distinctive epistemic features of non-linguistic rules? - What are the cognitive and psychological aspects of non-linguistic rules? - How is it possible to understand a non-linguistic rule? - Is it possible to have a normative experience independently from language? 3. Deontology of non-linguistic rules - Do non-linguistic rules contribute to the development or the maintenance of traditional and new social inequalities? - What are the seminal cases of non-linguistic rules in disseminating or imposing political and social values and habits? - How can non-linguistic rules promote the social good? - How do architecture and design shape social reality through the creation of tacit normative social constraints? Phenomenology and Mind is the Journal of the Faculty of Philosophy of San Raffaele University (Milan). It was founded in 2011 and since then has hosted works of outstanding philosophers such as Lynne Baker, Thomas Fuchs, Anna Elisabetta Galeotti, Shaun Gallagher, Margaret Gilbert, Jrgen Habermas, Edward Harcourt, Robin Jeshion, Dieter Lohmar, Michael Pauen, John Searle, Nadia Urbinati, and many others. The journal is anonymously peer-reviewed and open-access. We are committed to publishing papers of high academic quality and making them accessible to a wide audience.

Engineering as a profession and academic field has existed largely in isolation from other disciplines. We invite authors to explore what author Gloria Anzalda defined as the nepantla the liminal space, the in-between, and the borderlands from which novel insight and inspiration emerges. In our context, this means exploring the spaces and borders that have historically isolated engineering from outside socio-political critiques or academic traditions. Contributions from a broad range of topics and perspectives are welcome, especially those which address the intersections of the engineering discipline with social justice, feminism, philosophy, epistemology, peace studies, critical theory, and ethics. Our goal is to foster an educational setting where unique insight and revolutionary change can emerge from our community. ESJP 14, as with other conferences, will be an interdisciplinary academic gathering. We welcome participants from a broad range of backgrounds who would wish to address the conference theme undergraduate or graduate students, faculty, staff, industry practitioners, educators, and activists inside or outside the academy. We are excited to hold space with all who share a commitment to justice and equity in engineering.We are excited to hold space with all who share a commitment to justice and equity in engineering.

The symposium offers the opportunity to get both hands-on experience with a host of different applications of VR in architecture and design and theoretical insights through presentations of current research given at the symposium. Virtual Reality (VR) can create the illusion of being present in virtual spacesincluding designed architectural spaces and digitised spaces. This is a achieved by immersive technologies such as adjustable stereoscopic displays, spatial audio based on the orientation of the user, height-adjustable camera positions, and parallax effects based on the movements of the user. The combined effect of these technologies is a more convincing depiction of sizes, proportions, lighting, materials, and other properties of spaces than any other technology can offer. VR is not limited to presenting virtual spaces: it can also provide ways to interactively explore virtual architectural spaces as well as abstract design spaces. And it allows us to collaborate with virtually co-present colleagues, clients, students, etc.whether they are in the same room or in remote locations. Hence, VR opens not only new ways to experience and communicate architectural space, existing or unbuilt. It also opens completely new ways in which to collaborate on architectural designs. Recently, the commercialisation of VR technologies for consumers and the increased performance of desktop computers, laptops, and smartphones has enabled applications of VR on large scales and at low costs that were hard to imagine even a few years ago. With these rapid developments, it is more important than ever for educators, scientists, and practitioners in architecture and designand beyondto learn and stay informed about the possibilities that VR offers now and in the near future. https://ecaade-ris2019.create.aau.dk 21-29 March 2019 - Urban inventories : graduate student This is a reminder of the upcoming deadline (25 November) for the call for proposals for graduate students to our international conference Urban Inventories to be held in Montral. Inventaires urbains http://be-pi.ca/inventaires / Urban inventories http://be-pi.ca/inventories INVENTAIRES URBAINS / URBAN INVENTORIES Conference and exhibition at the Centre de design, Montral, 21 to 29 March 2019 STUDENT CONFERENCE The conference is now open for Master and PhD research Selected students will present their research in a 10-15 minutes presentation. These projects will not be included in the exhibition. The international conference-exhibition invites academics involved in creative-research in design and related disciplines to contribute to the reflection on the roles played by documentation and invention in investigating the city and its territory. The Urban Inventories conference-exhibition examines the crossover between documentation and invention as they relate to the city. To document, to represent and to project urban complexity are essential tasks toward a deeper understanding of urban spatial production at all scales and ways to generate new meaning for the city. The design-research projects presented and exhibited are aimed at reconsidering urban complexity, representational forms of knowledge, and research in design and related disciplines. These considerations highlight four central preoccupations of the conference: situated practice, representation, projection and investigation. How are documentary practices in design and their modes of representation generative of new urban knowledge? How and when does the act of making an inventory become a design project? www.be-pi.ca/inventories Dialectic journal Announcing the CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS for possible publication in Dialectics SIXTH issue Authors and designers are invited to submit works for possible publication in the SIXTH issue of Dialectic, a biannual journal devoted to the critical and creative examination of issues that affect design education, research, and inquiry, particularly in and around the area of visual communication design.

This article describes a project, Inspiration Examined, funded by Share Academy, which used a narrative research method to critically examine the process of inspiration using interviews with students carried out at the Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture (MoDA). Share Academy was a partnership project between University College London (UCL), University of the Arts London (UAL) and the London Museums Group, with the aim of exploring the potential for more effective and mutually beneficial collaborations between Higher education and specialist London museums. See https://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/ research/share-academy/index The importance of writing as a material practice for art and design students: A contemporary rereading of the Coldstream Reports Authors: Julia Lockheart Page Start: 151 This paper suggests that strong beliefs about the recommendation of academic writing for practitioners in the Coldstream Reports remain in teaching and management positions across the current Higher Education (HE) sector. However, an intensive re-reading of the reports establishes these beliefs are unfounded. This article posits that upholding these institutional assumptions may have an impact on how writing is used as a component of examination and therefore aligned with the need for academic parity across the HE sector, rather than as a tool for understanding and articulating practice. As a result, this article calls for the reinstatement of a unified HE art and design curriculum to be filled with a diversity of pedagogical approaches, including writing practices, that are complementary to and inform the purposes of creative practice. Exploring the functions of reflective writing in the design studio: A study from the point of view of students Authors: Koray Gelmez And Humanur Bagli Page Start: 177 This longitudinal study is based on the reflective writing activities of students on the Basic Design I course in the Department of Industrial Product Design at Istanbul Technical University (ITU). Besides the cognitive, metacognitive and affective influence of reflective writing on design learning, this study is an attempt to seek answers to how design students respond to reflective writing in design curricula. The structure and content of the reflective writing in this study was inspired by writing-to-learn approaches. We analysed and discussed students remarks under common issues, and exemplified diary entries that are related to the act of writing. Based on the findings, the functions of reflective writing in the design studio were specified. Re-imagining the sketchbook as a medium of encounter Authors: Nigel Power Page Start: 199 This article describes and evaluates an inquiry into the meaning and value of sketchbooks for students and faculty on an MFA programme in Visual Communication at a major Thai university. Methodologically, the inquiry rests upon an extended period of participant observation by the author. This was informed by a phenomenological approach to the apprehension of subjective and intersubjective experience. Conversational data from studio discussions was synthesized with a large body of example sketchbook pages and writings produced by the participants. This material served as the basis for theory production influenced by grounded theory. The outcome of the inquiry is a re-conceptualization of the sketchbook in terms of the various encounters that it affords and the roles that these might play in the development of creative practice. A multi-method case study of textile craft-design applications usability and effects on the design process Authors: Riikonen Sini And Seitamaa-Hakkarainen Pirita Page Start: 217 This article presents a multi-method case study of five mobile device and desktop computer applications intended specifically for craft-design. The main aim of the study was to investigate the effects of application usage on the craft-design process and to analyse the usability of the applications from three perspectives: user experience, traditional usability and functionality. Eight masters level craft teacher students evaluated the applications and used those to conduct a design task on a Virtual Design Studio course at the University of Helsinki. To enable an authentic working environment and style for the participants and to gather research data remotely, a multi-method approach was designed that included data from questionnaires, written tasks and recordings of screen events. Analysis of the effects of application usage on the craft-design process revealed three factors that promote changes: the usability of an application, new possibilities and limitations compared to traditional design methods and the technical expertise of the designer usability being the most significant factor behind the changes observed. Creative arts technicians in academia: To transition or not to transition? Authors: Tim Savage Page Start: 237 This article reports on a small-scale study undertaken at a leading UK arts university. The study aims to explore the increasing trend of technicians transitioning their careers into academia. Studies that focus on technicians are scarce. Those few existing studies describe the growth of practiced-based teaching in the creative arts, the sectors increasing reliance on technicians and technicians greater involvement in shaping the learning experiences of students. Conversely, there is a rich literature that describes the unbundling and devaluation of traditional academic roles. This article employs a phenomenographic methodology to explore the experiences of three members of staff who have recently transitioned from technician roles into academia, considering whether the factors that have elevated the status of technicians have also eroded traditional academic roles, and whether this enables individuals to transition between what many experience as disparate camps.

Design research is rapidly becoming a knowledge-intensive field characterized by an overwhelming scholarly interest in designs many interfaces. These range from the role of design in solving complex societal problems to enhancing the sustainability and profitability of businesses across industries and geographies. This trajectory in many ways focuses attention on processes and social construction of meanings rather than design process outcomes. Against this backdrop, the journal provides an outlet for researchers across disciplines and research approaches and encourages contributions from diverse perspectives that examine practices related to traditional and novel: activities of design, professions of design, and organizational uses of design. Moreover, the journal aims to reflect recent decades substantial transformation of the field of design research with contributions that touch on design practices from a broad spectrum of scientific fields such as semiotics, design semantics, critical discourse analysis, science and technology studies, design(erly) thinking, management, organization, and material history. For the upcoming journal issue, we invite manuscripts that may engage with any of the following themes (but not limited to): - Theoretical and conceptual perspectives on the nature of current and future design practice. - Theoretical and empirical inquiries into the nature and understandings of contemporary design practices. - Dimensions of design practice vis--vis design knowledge. - The role of design practice in driving and shaping entrepreneurial processes and/or strategies. - The role of design practice in relation to societal or organizational change, innovation and value creation from a competitive, financial, social, and/or sustainability perspective. Broad questions that may be considered in this regard are: - Is it possible to limit domain-specific bodies of professional knowledge and authorized procedures of design? - What are the roles of classical design disciplines such as craft-based design, graphic design, industrial design, etc. in relation to the growing interest in the concept of design thinking? Submissions: Prospective authors should ensure their papers follow the Artifact: Journal of Design Practice author guidelines Download the full Notes for Contributors and the Intellect Style Guide. All submission must include a signed Open Access publishing agreement giving us your permission to publish your paper should it be accepted by our peer review panel. For questions or any additional information please contact the editors of Artifact: Journal of Design Practice. https://bit.ly/2SbjAK5 4-5 April 2019 - 16th Conference on Rapid Design, Prototyping & Manufacturing The RDPM Conference is well established as a platform for the dissemination of research in the field of additive manufacturing/3D printing and associated technologies.

The mission statement of theInternational Journal of Creative Media Research is to be an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed and open access journal devoted to pushing forward the approaches to and possibilities for publishing creative media-based research. Championing critical rigour and creative reflection, the journal willspecialise in capturing the emerging tools, approaches and methods of practice-based and practice-led research. It will publish original screen-based, sound-based, time-based and experiential forms of creative media research, spanning works of film, music, media art, creative and digital writing, curation practice, multiplatform and ludic artefacts that contribute to fields across Media and Game Studies, Communication and Cultural Studies, Art and Design, Music, Creative Writing, Drama, Dance, Performing Arts, Film and Screen Studies, or Education. We will publish two issues a year: one an open call that publishes on any topic relevant to the journals scope, the other a themed special issue with a guest editor that contributes new research to one of The Centre for Media Researchs three areas of specialism: Digital Materialities, Film & Social Context, or Play & Multiplatform. Essentially, we are interested in receiving submissions from researchers who want to have a voice in shaping the future of creative media-based research. In seeking to push forward approaches to publishing creative media-based research, the journal will also make use of Bath Spa's MediaWall - an architectural scale portrait format gallery, consisting of ten 55 panels and standing 4 meters wide and 7.5 meters tall - by establishing an annualAward in Creative Media Research, also to be judged by our international editorial board, which will provide creatives with a chance to produce, curate and disseminate creative media-based research for a unique platform and audience at Bath Spa University. Applicants must submit a 300-word statement that outlines the research question, the methodology or approach, and clarifies how the MediaWalls aesthetic form augments the aims of the research. Our journal has a registered ISSN, will be indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals, and will assign all published submissions with a DOI (Digital Object Identifier). It also shares an affiliation with theMeCCSA Practice Network, which champions practice within the UK's Media, Communications and Cultural Studies Association, ensuring that those that teach and research practice across the academy have a strong voice within the subject association. CFP: IJCMR - Open Call We are now accepting submissions, and authors have a choice of four innovative practice-based submission categories to choose from: Single-Piece Explorations(single video or audio piece accompanied by 1,500 word research statement) Multi-Piece Portfolios(mixed media video, image and audio pieces accompanied by 3,000 word route-map) Practice Discoveries(6,000 word article accompanied by relevant video, audio, imagery) Audio-Visual Reviews(5 minute essay film reviewing a chosen academic work) Watch out for the inaugural curated issue of the journal in the coming months, which will showcase the research of our international editorial board, but for now you can visit the pre-launch - though fully functioning - version of the journal here: www.creativemediaresearch.org Any enquiries can be directed to the journal's Editors: Matthew Freeman ([log in to unmask]), Charlie Tweed ([log in to unmask]), and James Newman ([log in to unmask]).

Contents Making sense: Personal, ecological and social sustainability through craft Authors: Kristina Niedderer And Katherine Townsend Page Start: 195 Towards making sense of self through emotional experiences in craft-art Authors: Milla Ojala And Seija Karppinen And Erja Syrjlinen Page Start: 201 The goal of this article is to explore how young craft students make sense of themselves through emotional experiences in craft-art. The study employs the grounded theory (GT) method. The key theoretical concepts of self, emotional experiences and engagement in craft making have been chosen based on how they support or resonate with the data and analysis. The data consists of several types of material that was collected in three schools: portfolios, participant observation, ethnographic interviews and students diaries. The data showed that students emotions were strongly present in the craft activity. Emotions were related to the students management of the different stages of the craft process, the expectations towards the outcome, the students holistic bodily and mental feeling during the making and their engagement throughout the entire process. All these elements, reflected against pre-existing theories, indicate that while studying craft-art, the participants were able to make sense of themselves in many ways. The analysis led to the finding that when students experience emotional ownership of the process in making craft-art, pleasant somatic experiences, realization of their own potential, and the result of craft making is a meaningful product in which their personal interests are materialized, a positive sense of self can be achieved. This article is a part of the larger study that focuses on students craft making experiences in the context of Finnish Basic Education in the Arts (BEA). The ostrich eggshell beads craft of the Ju/hoansi: A reflection on modern craft theories Authors: Amit Zoran Page Start: 229 Western (modern) discourse often reviews craft in the light of industrialism and mass manufacturing, associating it with symbolic qualities that arise from the modern economy. This discourse highlights the dichotomy between machine-centred and human-centred production. Yet, some of these popular craft theories fall short when considered outside this context. For example, some foraging societies prioritize investment in social ties over material storage, offering additional perspectives on our study of craft. In this article, I present the case of the ostrich eggshell beads craft of the Ju/hoansi, former hunter-gatherers from Southern Africa, which exemplify the plasticity of their practice in adapting to varying economic conditions. Using three case studies, I discuss different ways in which the Ju/hoansi have commoditized and used their craft heritage as a comparatively stable economic foundation in a reality where some (modern) craft values, such as creative engagement, risk and unpredictability, can be found everywhere in their day-to-day lives. Crafting environmental policies into action: Energy consulting practices of craftspeople Authors: Roger Andre Sraa Page Start: 255 This article discusses the emerging practices of craftspeople particularly carpenters in relation to policies of energy-efficient homes in the building sector. The Norwegian political goal of making buildings more sustainable and energy friendly by reducing 40 per cent of the energy used in the building sector provides new challenges for craftspeople who are tasked with effecting these changes. Based on qualitative interviews, this article explores how craftspeople working as energy consultants form their new role as what I call green-collar workers. The article explains how energy policies are translated into physical buildings by energy consultants. Four practices of craftspeople working as energy consultants are analysed the practices of economizing, controlling, coordinating and selling. These practices are part of a complex sustainable transition that is taking place in the building sector. As craftspeople are the workers actually enacting energy policies in the building sector by working with energy mitigation hands on (whilst also building on their traditional crafts experience), it is necessary to understand their practices to further reduce energy use in buildings. Rereading and revising: Acknowledging the smallness (sometimes) of craft Authors: Jessica Hemmings Page Start: 273 Attention to the power of craft has come to dominate craftivism discourse. This article is interested in disrupting some of the claims of craftivism with a reminder that craft can remain powerless compared to the scale of the social problems that surround it. My interest in smallness is driven by a desire to make reasonable claims on behalf of crafts power in an era when modest impact feels like an unwelcome truth in academic research. Craft research is perhaps ill positioned to expose itself as small. To see past this blind spot, I look to examples of craft practice described in novels and short stories from Chile, India and Zimbabwe: Isabelle Allendes The House of Spirits (1985), Rohinton Mistrys A Fine Balance (1996), Yvonne Veras short story collection Why Dont You Carve Other Animals (1992), Tsitsi Dangarembgas The Book of Not (2006) and Brian Chikwavas Harare North (2009). I propose that craft, in the contexts discussed here, accrues meaning through its limitations. This close reading has required me to revise the importance that I had placed, particularly on textiles in Zimbabwean fiction, in the past and instead recognize that what craft is unable to repair and recover are also components of its identity. As craft scholarship as a discipline expands, I find it increasingly important amidst the many sincere efforts to proclaim what craft can do to also voice what it is unable to change as a legitimate component of crafts identity. Ceramics and locational identity: Investigating the symbolism of material culture in relation to a sense of place Authors: Peter Bodenham Page Start: 287 This article is an investigation into material culture and its symbolism in terms of place and space and addresses the research question why do select ceramic artefacts evoke or become symbolic of a specific location and sense of place?. The research covers the areas of conceptual ceramic design, craft culture and practice-led research. Dutch design duo Nadine Sterk and Lonny van Ryswyck Atelier NL are discussed as an example of contemporary designer makers who create objects that embody social meaning and express an evocative sense of locational identity. The two Eindhoven-based designer-makers creative process combines and reveals different strands of academic and material enquiry and representing a creative process that flows between making, scientific knowledge, anthropology, archaeology, geology, art, design and craft. Atelier NLs practice is representative of a current interest within visual and material culture in both practice- led research and socially engaged practice. The narrative of their research-based practice is unequivocally part of the production and presentation of their work. Atelier NLs practice stands for a creative partnership that investigates and celebrates their locality in addition to responding to a sense of culture loss indicative of mainstream patterns of design, production and consumption of goods and services. Mem...or...y Authors: Marlene Little Page Start: 311 Focusing on my current body of work, the Mem-or-y series, this article is an autobiographical account presenting my ongoing practice and research interest in the interrelationship between photography, textiles and Zeitgeist concerns. In this body of work, through a tacit response to materials and processes, craft practice becomes a vehicle for engaging with social issues, exploring complex questions surrounding personal concepts of identity, the reliability of memory and the increasing incidence and awareness of the many forms of dementia, particularly Alzheimers and vascular dementia. Fabric has become a vehicle for exploring these concerns.

As pervasive systems increasingly permeate everyday life, designing to aid data legibility, literacy, explainability and flexible decision-making is key. The widening gap between everyday users understanding of and the impermeability of black algorithmic boxes increasingly challenges current systems to ensure secure and private use for individuals, communities and publics. This symposium aims to tackle, debate and explore questions around the nature and implications of ethical, social and political perspectives for designing technologies. The topic of this symposium will explore issues of Trust, Identity, Privacy and Security (TIPS) in Technology from different contexts through design perspectives. Showcasing how researchers, designers and developers are tackling the increasingly big issues programmers and systems developers may face and how we design fair, ethical, unbiased, empowering systems at the outset of a new technological project. This 2-day symposium on the 10th & 11th December in Edinburgh provides an exciting opportunity for PhD and early career researchers to connect with other TIPS researchers from across the country. Poster presentation and demo sessions will allow researchers to increase exposure to their research, while interactive workshops with leaders from diverse backgrounds will offer opportunities to learn about existing and novel tools and methods to support the design and development of future systems.

Tacit knowledge acquired through hand skills, making, utilising equipment and working with processes is fundamental to developing understanding. Although practical learning is valued, the teaching of creative and making subjects is under threat in formal education. Within the fashion and textile industries there are skills shortages. Heritage crafts risk being lost as digital technologies and automation impact upon future generations. The Association of Fashion & Textile Courses (FTC) forthcoming conference Futurescan 4: Valuing Practice, provides an international forum for the dissemination of research, creative practice and pedagogy surrounding fashion and textiles. Contributions from established and early career researchers, postgraduates, practitioners, makers and educators will be presented under the following topics: Valuing Artisan Skills, Drawing and Making Learning from History, Tradition and Industry Collaborating and Cross-disciplinary Working Integrating and Connecting Digital Technologies Designing Responsibly and Working Sustainably Promoting Diversity, Employability and Community Investigating Creative Processes and Pedagogy The conference will include keynote speaker presentations, full papers (20-minute presentations), short papers (10-minute presentations) and an exhibition of practice-based work.
