- The radical changes of our environment under the influence of information technology require an adaptive approach between programmers and designers to enable lay participation and interaction with it. Satin is an application builder for mobile devices that enables end-users without programming skills to create and share their own apps (http://www.satinproject.eu/). Using shortcomings discovered in its design and development as a basis, we use the foundational principles and process behind the design of the Satin interface to illustrate that apart from following user centered design, designers also need to consider the constraints and influences of the design space they operate within. When designing a product, the systems and paradigms within which designers act, in this case information infrastructure and work practices, inevitably affect the solution space in which the final designs and products will be searched for. This often results in a limited impact or intelligibility of the initial goals. The design of innovative, collaborative user centered solutions requires designers to work not only on the final product, but also to challenge and evolve the foundations and underlying infrastructures that determine the possibilities of that specific design space. We conclude the paper by emphasizing the need for development of ways of working on the design of interactive systems that are informed by a holistic stance based on day-to-day experience and behavior as a guiding principle for technological development.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Driven by a critique of Ishii et al’s recent vision of Radical Atoms we call for a debate on the different conceptual paradigms underlying the TEI community and its activities. TEI was initiated to share and connect different perspectives, but we feel conceptual debate is lacking. To fuel this debate, we start with comparing two paradigms by examining the Radical Atoms proposal and balance it from our design-led perspective. Our aim with this paper is to revive the richness of TEI’s multidisciplinary approach.

The wickedness of design research practices : Methodological issues in bringing knowledge to expression through design
- 2013

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper we review existing literature in design research to see to what extent it provides a basis for meeting the methodological challenges that we encounter in our own practice- based design research. Seemingly, much attention is given to describing the results and types of knowledge that design research may provide, the purposes those may serve and by what yardsticks those results may be evaluated. Another focal area seems to be the form(-ats) in which the results of design research are presented and disseminated. What is often missing, however, are detailed accounts of the roles that design practice plays that can be picked up and used by others doing design research. This is unfortunate, as it is often such methodological structures that we struggle with. The emergence of ‘design research practices’ entails something more than mere combinations of design practice and academic research. Research typically has the objective of knowledge production; practice has the objective of creating the right thing by solving a set of problems. Considered a ‘new’ kind of design practice, design research practice seems to be more about problem finding through the design and creation of things that bring knowledge to expression. Thus, the process by which it achieves this must be uncovered and articulated.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- De bionische mens vertegenwoordigt onze droom van bovenmenselijke krachten.Delen van die droom worden op dit moment al verwezenlijkt door kunstmatige systemen die ons motorische of zintui- gelijke vermogen ondersteunen, vergroten of verrijken.De aansluiting van die systemen op het lichaam verschillen in invasiviteit.De ontwikkeling van prothesen en orthesen wordt gedreven vanuit wetenschap maar met name ook vanuit de mili- taire industrie, en heeft een overwegend technische benadering.
