A spiral-bound TU Dublin notebook filled with handwritten academic notes in pencil, some highlighted in orange. A red pencil rests diagonally across the page. A white mug sits on the desk beside it. The desk surface has a simple line drawing design.
It's that time of year again. I don’t know why I have to draft academic writing by hand & in pencil but it’s the only way my thoughts properly form. I just have to accept that the real work will be translating this to type later. #EduSky #SlowThinking #AcademicSky #DesignEducation #DesignResearch

Tired of tools that force users into prompt‑coding instead of real creative flow?
This new paper breaks down 5 paradoxes you must design around to build truly co‑creative AI — not executors, but partners in exploration.

New paper: We argue that ’Neodesign’ – the procedural, sandboxed version of design that has emerged in the past 20 years – threatens the very qualities that made design valuable in the first place: craft, imagination, & playfulness | hdl.handle.net/2123/34531 | #designresearch #criticaldesign

Capital letter A made from thick iridescent soap-glass with trapped air bubbles, shown on a black background with reflective surface, highlighting refraction and optical depth.
A is not designed to communicate.
It is built to reveal material behavior.
Soap-glass.
Refraction instead of color.
Air instead of ornament.
Type as object, not interface.

The Western assumption is that hierarchy is bad, but for many of us, hierarchies can be supportive. In our mentoring program, we consciously acknowledged hierarchical dynamics and chose not to avoid them. #participatorydesign #designresearch #mentoring

Professionals who feel the most threatened by AI are the least willing to play with it. This reaction then accelerates their marginalization. We can't address AI adoption without first addressing identity concerns. Technical training isn't enough.

Der Designer Benjamin Wengert (Hochschule Pforzheim) stellt mit seinem Projekt „Design for Nothing“ eine radikale Frage: Was bleibt, wenn Gestaltung nichts hervorbringen will – kein Produkt, keine Lösung, keine Aussage?
Wengert zeigt, dass „Nichts“ kein Scheitern bedeutet, sondern ein Zustand […]
