Critical by Design? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
In its constructive and speculative nature, design has the critical potential to reshape prevalent socio-material realities. At the same time, design is inevitably normative, if not often violent, as it stabilises the past, normalises the present, and precludes just and sustainable futures.

’Patadesign: A pedagogical experiment on Design of Exception, Absurd Artifacts, and Imaginary Interfaces

open access: yesDearq, 2020
By combining ’Pataphysics with speculative critical design approaches, our goal is to present ’Patadesign: a pedagogical framework and thought experiment that can expand possibilities for design practices.

Improving the quality of the acoustic environment in neonatal intensive care units: a review of scientific literature and technological solutions

open access: yesFrontiers in Computer Science, 2023
There is an increased awareness of how the quality of the acoustic environment impacts the lives of human beings. Several studies have shown that sound pollution has adverse effects on many populations, from infants to adults, in different environments ...

Performance and critical design

open access: yesProceedings of the 2015 British HCI Conference, 2015
Critical design is a powerful methodology for HCI research that contributes to personal benefit and social renewal. We propose performance studies as a way of implementing and extending critical design.

VISUAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CULTURAL MEANING AND FUNCTIONAL EFFECTIVENESS. A CASE STUDY IN UPCYCLING DESIGN

open access: yesJournal of Industrial Design and Engineering Graphics, 2019
This paper explains the contemporary Design dynamics and shows how specific design processes influence and modify user behaviour and production narrative in the material culture of a transforming society.

Design as a Critical Research

open access: yesLibro de Actas - Systems & Design: Beyond Processes and Thinking (IFDP - SD2016), 2016
Historically the imaginary and the hegemonic thinking, in the Western North globe has been marked by the epistemology and capitalists archetypes. Notwithstanding the design as a practice and discipline seem shielded on a simplistic discourse of functional / communicative efficiency, wandering through multiple aestheticism apparently neutral in relation

Critical design in interaction design and children

open access: yesProceedings of the 17th ACM Conference on Interaction Design and Children, 2018
During past years, an increasing interest has been placed on critical design in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and design research communities. Child Computer Interaction (CCI) research community, however, has remained quite silent about these recent developments.

Critical Design Approach to Understand the Current Public’s Perception of Islamic Art and Design [PDF]

open access: yesPad, 2018
Despite the strength, beauty and depth found in the Islamic art, people hold limited knowledge towards it, which creates a superficial and limited understanding of the “Islamic” specification in an object or design.

Embedding critics in design environments [PDF]

open access: yesThe Knowledge Engineering Review, 1993
Abstract Human understanding in design evolves through a process of critiquing existing knowledge and consequently expanding the store of design knowledge. Critiquing is a dialogue in which the interjection of a reasoned opinion about a product or action triggers further reflection on or changes to the artifact being designed.

Continuous adaptive critic designs [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings. 2005 IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, 2005., 2006
A continuous formulation of an adaptive critic design (ACD) is investigated. Connections to the discrete case are made, where backpropagation through time (BPTT) and realtime recurrent learning (RTRL) are prevalent. A second order actor adaptation, based on Newton's method, is established for fast actor convergence.
