- The potential of skills in design is intriguing; as skills open up new perceptions of the world they allow meaning to arise as we engage with the world. Several skills-based techniques that leverage this potential have been developed, and integrated into the Designing in Skills framework. The framework builds on personal engagement of designers in their practice, and promotes them to take a first-person perspective, enabling designs to be enriched with meaning. In this paper, we present the most recent workshop based on this approach, which specifically focuses on employing the Designing in Skills framework as a starting point and catalyst for design practice. We briefly introduce the Designing in Skills framework and present the DiffractMe! project in which we built on this approach to explore its potential for design practice. We conclude with reflections on the process and result by the involved designers. These reflections offer insights into the value of this approach for enriching interactive design with experiential qualities.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- People practicing constructive/experimental/ practice-led/etc. design research come from a range of different academic traditions, which leads us to argue in certain ways, look for support in different places, and format and disseminate our work towards particular audiences. Such contextual factors might be the cause of some of the issues we struggle with in our work, while at the same time they obfuscate the ‘real’ foundational issues in the kind of design research we practice. When we look to current discourse concerning constructive design research, much attention seems to be given to positioning and justifying of the work in various contexts. What seems to be less exposed are foundational issues relating to how the practice unfolds, the kinds of issues that are tackled and by what means this is done. In this debate, four design researchers from various backgrounds will lead the discussion to uncover some of these issues. The debate will be fueled and framed with short video quotes from well and lesser known design research practitioners.http://www.drs2014.org/en/presentations/the-practice-of-constructive-design-research/
