Abstract

If sketching is a reflective conversation, then confirming the qualities of one’s experience is a major skill. This paper presents a discussion about the difficulties and importance of confirming experience for designers. The paper is concerned with role of experience for industrial designers, as they apply their discipline skills and knowledge, to explore frames and solution opportunities, through sketch development. Research into meditation is used to consider the training needs of designers to support them in becoming a reflective practitioner. The paper argues that designing for a project community means connecting deeply with the narratives of people within that community, being mindful of these narratives while exploring frames and solution opportunities and being responsive to the changes in one’s experience during sketch experimentation. The paper concludes that the skill of connecting with one’s experience of the present moment supports reflective conversations and can be consciously developed to the benefit of design practitioners.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
