- Description
- This project aims to refine notions of ethical design within the commercial communications industry and investigate the potential for actionable support to ethical practice. It intends to provide a unique aggregation and distillation of ethical design wisdom in the format of a comprehensive, foundational guide to assist practitioners in exploring their ethical potential and encourage the sustainable, dynamic development of a more socially and environmentally responsible practice. Though the “responsible design movement” continues to flourish, predominant perceptions of the marketing, advertising, and design industries remain largely negative (Heller & Vienne, 2018, p.103). A profit-above-all focus has resulted in public notions of an unethical industry complicit in perpetuating gratuitous consumerism, reflexive media consumption (Harris, 2016) and gross racial and gender inequality (3% Movement, 2018). Industry discourse indicates a heightened awareness about the perils of commercial work (Schwab, 2018) and employees are increasingly primed (Deloitte Millennial Survey, 2018) to participate in efforts to address today’s most pressing issues, in and outside of the design industry, like diversity, ethics, gender equity, climate action and socially responsible consumption and production (AIGA Design Census, 2017, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, 2018). Arguably, however, design literature has had little to offer in terms of actionable support for the employee’s desire for purposeful work (Garrotem, 2017). Ethics discourse in communication design has largely centred on the dissemination of idealistic manifestos (100 Years of Design Manifestos, 2014, Monteiro, 2017), organizations denouncing the unethical aspects of industry (Ico-D stands against crowd-sourced competition for the Tokyo Olympics 2020 logo, 2016, Schwab, 2018, Time’s Up®/ Advertising, 2018), and publications celebrating aesthetics in visual case studies for public-sector clients (Resnick, 2016, Simmons, 2016). This project explores a history of ethical design discourse, popular publishing in the area of ethical design, and expert interviews and surveys with over 130 practicing professionals. The research reveals an industry that has long focused on problematizing design’s complicity in capitalist endeavour. It has been said that for designers to effectively address the world’s problems, design must first free itself from its position as a tool of advertising (Garland, 1964, Papanek 1971) and separate itself from the hegemonic market economy (Fry, 2009, p. 80, Walker, 2013, p. 446). While there is probable partial truth to this suggestion, it is often impractical and, at times, impossible for a practitioner to leave the industry altogether. Given the multi-billion dollar size of the Canadian communications industry (Fuller, 2016), it is in our best interest to develop a means to effectively support the thousands of industry- employed practitioners (Graphic Designers - Canada Market Research Report, 2018) to realize an ethical practice within their existing work-life structures. Research findings have supported the development of ten ethical design archetypes under which over 130 actions toward ethical practice are organized. The book-as-thesis has been designed with an intention toward accessibility, inclusivity, and clarity in order to provide practitioners of many ilks with the practical knowledge to realize a more ethical practice.

- Description
- When designing for citizens, municipalities often focus on the back end infrastructure of services while ignoring the user experience. This can lead to a lack of engagement by citizens and improperly used services. Contemporary issues facing cities today such as waste reduction, and other challenges associated with living in a dense urban core, reinforce the need for a drastic change in the way that people live, work and co-organize as supported by their local government. A two year design research partnership with a local governing body explored the role of participatory design in the creation of a service touch-point aimed at decreasing contamination in the streams of waste that are recycled in public city spaces. It considers how principles of behavior change can be utilized in this inquiry for designing services that are used by the general public in an urban context. During the course of the project, participatory methodologies are used to facilitate conversations between municipal waste coordinators and designers. Through user observations, ethnographic research, co-creation and user testing this thesis argues for the need for participatory design to create effective services for cities. Through explorations of form, iconography, and systems this inquiry has culminated in the design of a streetscape recycling station and a human centered framework for municipalities called ‘citizen centered services’.

- Description
- This thesis describes how a designer pursued dialogue and collaboration in the design process when a shared verbal language or assumed technologies were not present. From June 2008 to February 2009, a two-phase project explored the role of communication design in a rural community in Africa. It considered how principles of governance could be applied to create a more transparent dialogue during the design process and investigated the impact of a designer's presence and absence in this context. During the project, a field bag was designed to act as a writing surface for ten women in Rwanda to use while participating in creative activities during the rituals of daily life. The activities were developed to help a designer have a visual conversation when working with individuals who do not share the same language, in order to discover the needs, assets, beliefs and desires of an individual or group before offering a design solution. By introducing a design methodology into a development context, adaptive tools were created to increase the opportunity for appropriate and effective outcomes. By focusing greater attention on the unspoken needs of the underserved, the often overlooked potential of their ideas can be revealed and accessed for future innovations. From here, design positions itself as a discipline that embraces ambiguity in the midst of complexity when seeking to address significant problems in a sustainable fashion.

- Description
- Holey Roket is a cooking stove type designed to improve existing cooking systems. Recognizing that more than fifty communities in Africa, South America and Asia use briquettes as a primary cooking fuel, this design project seeks to help improve local cooking solutions. Designed to use the biomass briquettes similar to those available in rural communities around the world, Holey Roket was developed in collaboration with Legacy Foundation, an Oregon-based NGO advocating alternative fuel technology. Designed for biomass briquettes, Holey Roket aims to dramatically reduce fuel consumption and harmful emissions. Borrowing from existing stove technologies and working in collaboration with local entrepreneurs, this design typology and social network has evolved as the fabrication of briquettes improves and knowledge about this alternative fuel is shared. Holey Roket is based on the understanding that, together with stove design and briquette fabrication, information sharing is necessary to help create better cooking systems. Holey Roket designs are currently being tested in four international contexts: DR Congo, Chad, Uganda, and Cambodia. Existing briquette manufacturing enterprises in each place represent different sets of socio-cultural relations and demand an adaptable consultant-design methodology capable of working with different materials, briquette recipes, gastronomic cultures, and social structures. Holey Roket represents a methodology designed to connect with local entrepreneurial networks and involves communicating information about stove technology and the adaptation of a Holey Roket typology across different contexts. This project is informed by the eco-centric concept of “ecosophy” developed in writings of Arne Naess and Felix Guattari. Ecosophy recognizes the philosophical milieu as a field of intrinsic social, economic, and cultural relations where one needs to find ways of partaking in non-anthropocentric collaboration. Extending ecosophy to a design context, Holey Roket looks at ‘vernacular’ building processes that unfold according to traditional, site-specific designs. Holey Roket engages with the virtual environment as a form of direct action. Accumulated information from various environments contributes to the single product-type data-base, and brings diverse local knowledge to a common table. Adaptations of Holey Roket show how experimentation gradually becomes tradition, and in the process, resilient, ever-more efficient cooking stove concepts are adapted to an increasing number of environments.

- Description
- There is a pressing need to shift present expectations of urban lifestyle in contemporary western society — to reconsider how we can sustain ourselves and our planet. Shifting understanding of our relationship to our built environment may play a role in adjusting expectations of the future. In doing so, we can start to look towards alternate ideas and new possibilities for the material culture found within the home. This thesis seeks to expose how we see and organize our homes through aesthetics, language and meaning. It considers how this affects our perception of our built and natural environments — our separation of space — in a social sense. A generative process-led design practice is used to find means, through artifact, to have others (first the designer, and in turn, users/consumers) think critically about current understandings of urban lifestyle, and aspirations connected to desired standards of living. A series of small projects that explore themes of care, control and expectations are used as a catalyst for discussion. The intent is not to find solutions for sustainable design but rather to communicate and promote consideration about sustainability, the home environment, and material culture.

- Description
- Existing consumption practices in the fashion industry are using excessive resources. Largely caused by the ever increasing consumer cycles, in which we are now seeing as many as 52 “seasons” a year at large fast fashion retailers. Simultaneously technology and social media have been speeding up our own cycles of identity creation and connection, and in response movements such as minimalism and essentialism that advocate for owning less, and living with more intention, have gained mainstream exposure. Founded in contemporary contexts this thesis explores how the integration of sharing economy and circular economy principles in retail services can offer paradigm shifting user experiences. This concept engages users in considered consumption that builds off of existing personal identity and wardrobe composition. And supplements these with mid-term garment leasing that provides a sense of renewal. Considering the existing context of over consumption I set out to draw insights from personal experiences through ethnographic research methods that revealed individual behaviours, needs, and expectations. Through a process of analysis and synthesis, I identified a hybrid approach to sharing garments that allows for an integration of ownership, and shared-use to foster a transition away from highly consumptive practices. The Velary is a library for your clothes. It is a garment sharing service that introduces a two-tiered wardrobe that consists of a core wardrobe (garments a user already owns, loves, or would invest in independently), and a renewal wardrobe (garments provided through the service that update a users wardrobe for a specific time frame, between 1 and 6 months). The two-tiered model allows users to maintain a curated and intentional core wardrobe that is personally significant, and the renewal wardrobe allows users to engage with change cycles without the wasteful outcomes of highly consumptive behaviours fostered by fast fashion. This model is flexible and considers new modes of use and ownership within existing contexts. Building upon circular economy practices around material waste, The Velary moves beyond the product itself to explore alternative modes of consumption. The Velary considers behaviour change from an altruistic and functional perspective, it engages users in experience models that remove barriers to sharing which are based on the fear of losing control. The two-tiered wardrobe approach can be generalized as a hybrid sharing model, where users engage in both owning and sharing. This can be applied to examine behaviour on a scale of impact where we analyze the implications of consumer behaviour considering the most problematic areas (which in this case has been identified as fast fashion). The application of this model of behaviour mapping can lead to the creation of new systems that shift behaviour in key areas before introducing completely new ways of engaging in retail or consumption.

- Description
- In modern society there exists a perception of an ongoing need for self-elaboration, revision of identity, and projection of self. Because objects are part of the way that many proclaim identity, this expectation for change has created a pattern of ongoing consumption. Traditional modes of design and production support this through creation of newer and better objects. Current marketing trends demand a rapid turnover of product, or planned obsolescence. The detrimental effects of this system on the environment are becoming an increasing concern. In light of the problems created by modern society’s inclination to the ephemeral, temporary, and the dynamic, this thesis explores another understanding of change. It looks to the concepts of Alfred North Whitehead and Gilles Deleuze, who both considered the process of becoming, and explored the connection between change and the continuity of things. Exploring Change examines the possibility of allowing the design lens to shift its focus and regard objects to be in an ongoing state of development. Investigations into the act of making, the multiple events attached to articles of cloth, and the physical evidence of time and wearing, provide insight. The intent is to depart from a linear process. A cyclical understanding of the lifecycle of an object is moved into one that is a designed spiral. Designed obsolescence is replaced by designing for perpetuity. Within this paradigm the work also considers the role of the individual in differentiating and personalizing designed multiples and the relationship between mass production and the personal act of making. The need for change does not have to force us to succumb to a practice of consuming unsustainably. Alternatives resolving the issue are discussed.

- Description
- This research incorporates cultural and traditional Persian practices in order to develop social engagement with environmental sustainability. Persian crafts and rituals are utilized as the means of engagement in developing tangible practices that nudge consciousness and lead to greater understanding of nature and ecology. Cultural rituals in Persian culture such as Nowrooz and Yalda inspired me to design a service that supports and amplifies their connection to nature. In the development of this service two facets of sustainability are explored: materiality and nature. Craft opens up fascinating possibilities that address sustainability. Locality is the remarkable aspect of Craft. Materials, methods of making and the meaning in a craft artwork talk about the specific characteristic of the place that it comes from. It helps us to identify the characteristics of our natural environment and understand how to benefit from its capacities. In this service design, people participate in traditional craft activities and learn how the materials and processes of these craft artifacts are in tune with ecological systems. They then use the crafts that they have created as artifacts for display in their own cultural rituals like Nowrooz and Yalda. This service promotes consciousness about sustainability in participants during their involvement with the practice. Key to the design is my belief that a viable service is inviting and provides an atmosphere for people to play an active role in addressing current ecological issues. This empowers citizens and helps to develop and nurture the culture of environmental sustainability in Persian society. By unlocking the roots and histories of traditional crafts in any given culture, and then tapping into the creative possibilities of how they can be re-combined and re-framed, a path to social innovation can be etched by applying the results to contemporary issues of environmental sustainability.

- Description
- It is widely acknowledged that environmental issues are complicated – that the means we use to try and address them are knotted affairs made up of many, many complicated threads. Too often the response to this tangle is avoidance and denial. Arguably, unsustainable human behaviour patterns are a significant barrier to addressing environmental concerns. This thesis details a design research approach considers approaches for behaviour change through interaction design and personal storytelling. The aim throughout has been to uncover new opportunities that could potentially provoke: environmental awareness, motivation towards changed behaviours, citizen agency. Environmental researchers are continuously analysing and describing environmental problems. Dissemination of this information is often seen as the main means to not only prove and demonstrate the issues but also to provide evidence that might change our current unsustainable living patterns. Social Media, documentaries, and news reporting provide a plethora of images, scientific facts and statistics about the issues. These unfortunately are not always effective – rather than motivating people to act - they often provoke responses such as fear, shame and consequent inaction. Acknowledging that objective, rational evidence does not necessarily impact human behavior, this body of work looks to narrative and interactive approaches as a means to invite people to consider environmental problems on a more personalized level. A key goal of my work has been to create means for enhancing and appreciating people’s experiences with nature - to provide outlets for people to share and reconsider their relations with the environment. By engaging people with their own personal stories or memories related to nature, I have sought to explore means to merge people’s collective memory of nature. Digital strategies that are commonly used in digital marketing campaigns aimed towards consumer agendas have been co-opted and revamped for an alternate purpose; to provide means for people to consider and respond with more motivation towards care for the environment. To that end, an open-ended, generative citizen design research tool intended to widen the perception of the use of interactive platforms for pro-environmental research practices was developed.

- Description
- As a society we are running out of resources and the number of products discarded everyday is no longer sustainable. How can design facilitate a solution to this problem? Design for Repurposing, presents a new strategy for incorporating the concept of repurposing in product design, which aims to extend the longevity of products by intentionally designing features or details that facilitate repurposing. Repurposing is the transformation of products or their components to suit a second purpose after their first has expired. For example, an old truck’s wheel rim is transformed into a grill by welding iron legs onto it. I explored the concept of designing for repurposing by interviewing, photographing and observing how people in developing countries, such as Mexico, transform existing products into different objects for other uses. I translated these observations into a detailed artifact analysis with reflections on what makes certain objects attractive or suitable to those who repurpose them. Design for repurposing converts consumers into engaged users who invest time to transform and customize products, thus easing the amount of waste in landfills and saving energy, money and the environment. The new purposes assigned to products can be classified into three categories: planned, coached and open-ended. These categories share a common goal: to extend the longevity of an object’s use. Repurposing also happens at different scales, such as batch production, and individual level (Do it Yourself: DIY). My thesis contains descriptive information and two checklists for designers, manufacturers and engineers seeking another strategy for sustainable design.

- Description
- This thesis proposes that if people and local communities were more skilled in making and repair, they could be more resourceful with the objects around them, making it possible to engage in more sustainable practices. Such skills afford a revised pattern to the consumption of products, services and materials. The thesis explores an observed gap between a person’s sense of agency and their capabilities to act in more sustainable ways. Maker movements, Transition Towns, and other project-based learning organizations like Vancouver’s Citystudio and Costa Rica’s Earth University, are re-skilling people to live more sustainable lives. Communal learning and tangible skills build more self-reliant communities. These movements are seen as vital steps in a long path toward sustainable local and circular economies. Through a series of hands on ‘Unmaking’ workshops the research attempts to leverage our relationship to waste electronics and appliances as mode of exploration to discuss ideas of agency, capability and curiosity. By taking waste electronics and appliances apart, un-boxing the black-box, participants mindfully investigate our complicity in their existence, and ultimately develop new understandings and skills to collaboratively tackle their adverse effects. The act of Unmaking, not only provides a platform for discussion, but also gives participants an opportunity for co-learning driven by mutual curiosity. The heuristic nature of this research opens up an exploratory space for designers and non-designers alike that encourages a reflective practice. The resistance to adopt more sustainable lifestyles partly lies in a lack of understanding of our built environment, the resources and energies involved in its production, and a sense of value in the objects we encounter in our daily lives.
