week 5. slow tech & mindful interaction

Design Frictions for Mindful Interactions

 designed friction to provide "micorboundary" for system 1 changing to system 2

week 4. slow design & slow lab

Student presentation on:
The slow design principles

 Related design cases :
  Slow design by Barbara Grosse-Hering

Question and discussion:
1. what are the differences between slow tech and slow design?
2. What are the possible applied area of Redstrom's slow tech and the Slow Lab's design principles?

Project 1 presentation: March 25, 2019
Slow Something:
  1. propose slow + another_thing
  2. discuss the time element (fast vs. slow), reflective aspects, amplifying environments (hide or reveal), form (simple or complex), material...
  3. Sketch your design
  4. Evaluate your design
  5. summarize design principles

week 3. evaluating slow technology

1. Reading "Evaluating Slow Technology"
2. Message with slow technology examples:
