About design (and disruptive technologies)
designer (in art and design trad.) . . . focuses on experiences, . . . the future experiences,
. . . to design them.
design researcher / student: . . . do stuff,
. . . be experimental, . . . be avant-garde.

Technologies do not evolve— they are developed.
Thus technologies should be rather designed than developed (I’ll come back
to this later).
Technologies do no define how our life will be but certain technologies provide
environment where certain culture is more likely to happen than some other.

activity in the crossing point of
science, art, technology and craft
in a socio-cultural historical context.
Kayttaja-, asiakas ja ihmislahtoiset menetelmat.
. . . pyrkimys luoda tuotteita tai palveluita jotka vastaavat
ihmisten todellisiin tarpeisiin.
Research-based design process

Different methods: parallel and overlapping

Kayttaja-, asiakas ja ihmislahtoiset menetelmat.
. . . pyrkimys luoda tuotteita tai palveluita jotka vastaavat
ihmisten todellisiin tarpeisiin.
(Leinonen 2008, 2010)
Research-based design process
Contextual inquiry
(Leinonen 2008, 2010)
Contextual inquiry 1/2
The objective is to explore
the point of views of the people in the socio-cultural historical
context in focus,
general trends and scenarios related to the socio-cultural historical context,
challenges in the socio-cultural historical context.
Observing, participating and documenting: research diary, photos, videos (compare to cultural anthropological fieldwork).
Examples of activities:
Analyzing service path and service points from customers point of view.
Mapping customer experience: participatory observation, shadowing, interviewing etc.
Analyzing communication situations and media used: letters, phone calls, face to face, web/Internet etc.
Contextual inquiry 2/2
Participatory Design
(Leinonen 2008, 2010)
The objective is to:
solve the preliminary challenges recognized in the contextual inquiry.
Examples of activities:
workshops with people.
discussions on scenarios, sketching, building models of a product or / and a service.
creating concrete product and service ideas.
papers, pens, props, games, prototypes.
Participatory Design
(Leinonen 2008, 2010)
Product (or service) design
Product (or service) design
State for analyzing and summarizing the materials from the earlier states.
Expert work with focus on decisions and preparing presentation.
Creation of the description and visualization of a new product or service.
Examples of results: specification of a new customer path, new communication practices, new tool, new media, new signs, new spatial solutions, new practices and communication of them, etc.
Building prototypes as hypothesis
(Leinonen 2008, 2010)
