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).

  Complex Form + Simple Material

Why linear time? How about non-uniform speed of time?

example 1: "dark & big audio"  gradually changes to "light & silence"
example 2: "noisy & dark" gradually changes to "silent & bright"
example 3: INTOUCH project: 色溫 & 溫度

What are the possible annotations for Wake-up light?

What are the possible annotations for Scentonight?

What are the possible annotations for Fonckel?

What are the possible annotations for Twins?

What are the possible annotations for Goodnight Lamp?

Draw a new sketch based on these annotated portfolios

reference:

What should we expect from research through design?

Annotated portfolios 

suggested forms:

   (1) Ving + adj. + N.

   (2) N. and N.

   (3) Ving+ N. + as + N.

   (4)  N. + for + N.

 

suggested concerns:

• the functionality of the design (what should it do?) and by implication the value of certain activities (is this worth doing?)

• its aesthetics (what form and appearance should the artifact take?) 

• the practicalities of its production (what materials, skills, and tools are needed to make it?) 

• the motivation for making (why are we doing this? what are we trying to show?) 

• the identities and capabilities of the people for whom the artifact is intended (what will our users make of this? how can we best design for them?) 

• sociopolitical concerns (what sort of culture will this encourage or resist?)

The logic of annotated portfolios: communicating the value of 'research through design'

Strategies for Annotating Portfolios: Mapping Designs for New Domains

Final project annotated portfolios presentation:

Each group present at least 4 relevant artifacts and their annotations

as "stragegies for annotating portfolios", describe your annotations and design space
