week 4. form, function & expression in Slow Tech

1. introduction to interaction design (Verplank's framework)
    Interaction Design Sketchbook

2.. reading: Slow Technology p. 209, Section 6, Form and Function

What is the form v.s. material of "slow technology"

 (1) Reflective technology

 (2) Time technology

 (3)  Amplified environments

  Section 8. Developing Guidelines for Slow Technology 

       . focus on slowness of appearance (materialisation, manifestation) and presence – the slow materialisation and design presence of form (F) 

    . focus on aesthetics of material and use simple basic tools of modern technology – the clear and simple design presence of matetial (M).
