Vertical urbanisation is perceived as necessary to accommodate a growing population but is associated with severe risks for human well-being. It requires a profound understanding of how archi-tectural designs can ensure visually readable and liveable environments before it has been built. How-ever, current …

Fashion and textile practice transitioned over the past decade from a physically engaged design practice into a screen-based design practice with textiles simulated on digital bodies. Digital designers use tangible interaction with textiles for post-phenomenological design considerations. Our research …

Ons vakgebied bevindt zich in een storm die om stilte vraagt. Doen we nog wel de juiste dingen en doen we de dingen nog juist in onze fysieke leefomgeving? Hoe zorgen we ervoor dat we ondanks de dagelijkse snel, sneller, snelst dynamiek alle belanghebbenden betrekken en oog blijven houden voor trage …

In this paper, we explore the design of web-based advice robots to enhance users' confidence in acting upon the provided advice. Drawing from research on algorithm acceptance and explainable AI, we hypothesise four design principles that may encourage interactivity and exploration, thus fostering users' …

Artificial Intelligence systems are more and more being introduced into first response; however, this introduction needs to be done responsibly. While generic claims on what this entails already exist, more details are required to understand the exact nature of responsible application of AI within the …

This study aimed to evaluate the children's usage and their physical activity levels at playgrounds with (N = 4) and without (N = 4) organized sports activities, following a quasi-experimental study design. Direct observations were used to assess the playground usage and estimate the playground users' …

This white paper was written by the members of the Work Group focusing on design practices of the COST Action 18230 - Interactive Narrative Design for Complexity Representation (INDCOR, WG1). It presents an overview of Interactive Digital Narratives (IDNs) design for complexity representations through …

Charging infrastructure deployment has taken off in many cities with the rise of the number of electric vehicles on the road. Expansion of infrastructure is a matter of prioritisation of resources to optimise the infrastructure. This paper explores how to measure charging station performance, to address …

Het klassieke modesysteem – dat zo sterk verankerd is in de westerse verlichting, in industrialisatie, kapitalisme en modernisme – is niet langer houdbaar en moet opnieuw gedefinieerd worden. Hier wordt ingegaan op het proces van verandering, de nieuwe vragen en mogelijke, meer inclusieve, oplossingen …
