DESIGN ANTHROPOLOGY

This week will be mostly about DAIM, http://chokobar.wordpress.com/ , the research project on design anthropology where designers - practictioners and academics and students from DKDS and IT product Design work on ways of letting everyday practices inspire design. Phase I , the recycling case, is coming to end, and phase 2 'golden projects' is about to begin. My research question in this is to what extent, and why, collaborative development of design languages is the solution to the problem of representing and transforming user-experiences of need and opportunity into new products, and in specific how the mechanism of projective identification relates to learning in the moment-to-moment encounters where such design languages are born.
