6 Theoretical grounds Everyday Design (Wakkary & Maestri, 2007; Wakkary & Tanenbaum, 2009) Design-in-use From consumer to producer Wakkary & Maestri (2007)

7 Shared agency: designer + user Design for appropriation (Dix, 2007; Dourish, 2003) Openness (Sengers & Gaver, 2006; Höök, 2006) Ambiguity (Gaver et al. 2003) Discovery-Driven prototypes (Lim et al., 2013) Non-finito products (Seok et al., 2014)

10 From discrete artifacts to a whole space Further deepen our understanding of: The complex relationships between people, artifacts and spaces

11 From discrete artifacts to a whole space Further deepen our understanding of: The complex relationships between people, artifacts and spaces Specifically, design and making practices of lived in spaces

12 Research questions 1: How do people design and make a space they live in?

13 Research questions 1: How do people design and make a space they live in? 2: What are the qualities of design and making in a lived-in space that are relevant for the design of interactive artifacts?

14 Outline A- 4 studies on how people design and make a space they live in

15 Outline A- 4 studies on how people design and make a space they live in B- Presentation of the concept of design-in-living

16 Outline A- 4 studies on how people design and make a space they live in B- Presentation of the concept of design-in-living C- Implications and contributions to HCI and IxD research

29 #4: Autobiographical design

30 #1 #2 #3 #4 Critical Design Concept- Autobio- literature ethnography driven IxD graphical review research design FINDINGS: Ongoing build cycles Physical presence + luxury of time Prototype qualities

31 1: How do people design and make a space they live in?

32

33 Outcome: Whole space

34 Motivation: Fit

35 Conditions: In a space, over time

36 Everyday designer: Creative and resourceful

37 Design strategy: Multiplicity

38 Artifacts and space: Resources

39 Finish: Invariably unfinished

40 Design-in-living Outcome: Motivation: Conditions: Design-in-living materializes through the ongoing and incremental making and adaptations of the space and ensembles within that space. Design-in-living may also materialize through artifact and routines. Design acts respond to the catalytic pressures of everyday life. Design acts are motivated by goodness of fit within and between artifacts, ensembles, and the space. Design-in-living occurs while living in a particular space over time Design strategy: Qualities of artifacts and space: Level of finish: Everyday designers design through appropriation and adaption of everyday artifacts and the space. Everyday designers engage in multiple ways of designing by combining unconscious design acts, ad hoc design, and planned design activities. The designed space and design artifacts are understood as resources for further design acts. The space is invariably unfinished; the level of finish on artifacts ranges from sketched to highly polished. 4 Qualities of the person: Everyday designers are creative and resourceful.

41 2: What are the qualities of design and making in a lived-in space that are relevant for the design of interactive artifacts?
