Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Foresight prototyping uses speculative artifacts to explore futures and support anticipatory design thinking. This study develops and validates an evaluation framework for HCI design education to support studio critique and assessment. Based on a literature review, author interviews, and quantitative analyses of perceptual ratings, four dimensions are identified: Functional Visibility, Sensory Experience, Future Adaptability, and Creative Divergence. The resulting FPEF supports consistent, evidence-based evaluation and feedback, and motivates future validation in design reviews.
