week 12. phenomenology & ethnography

First :
 Things making Things: An Ethnography of the Impossible


What is ethnography ?
What is phenomenology?
How do they relate to design?


1.

Ethnographic vs Phenomenological Research Designs

2. Qualitative methodologies: ethnography, phenomenology, grounded theory and more

3. very short introduction:

Notes on Ethnography and Design

4. Blomberg et al. 經典:
An Ethnographic Approach to Design

5. Ethnographic Data Analysis:
     http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~irene/l17-ethnography_analysis.pdf


Question:
1. how to apply ethnography (/phenomenology) to "cultural probes", how to apply ethnography (/phenomenology) to the study of design artifacts?

2. when to use ethnography? when to use phenomenology?

week 11. framing design

1. work in progress report

   check: themes, and strong concepts

2. Strong concepts

(pp. 23:11- 23:13)
4 constructs:
1. contextual grounding
2. horizontal grounding
3. vertical grounding
4. reflection, articulation, and abstraction

Between theory and practice: bridging concepts in HCI research

Somaesthetic Appreciation Design (CHI15)

Guidelines for Design Process:
1. Interpret your data with rich interpretation, inspiration, imagination, and discourse.
2. Specify several "themes" related to the above interpretation.
3. Build "strong concepts" (in terms of 4 constructs) to meet these themes
4. Give form to these strong concepts, such as mood boards, and cards.
5. Discuss possible expressions (如何用 expression 開展設計) for your design based on these strong concepts
