“Nothing in this house Is by chance”: design ethnography for the well-being of ...
Dutton, Emanuele; Trigueiros, Paula; Burrows, AlisonThe aim of this paper is to explore how design can contribute to fostering the well-being of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in their home environment. We report on a single case study that involved an in-depth study of the lived experiences of a child with ASD and their family at home. This qualitative and exploratory research followed the principles of design ethnography, favouring naturalistic d...
Educating for complexity in inclusive design: from products to service systems
Kuzmina, Ksenija; Branco, Rita Maldonado; Trigueiros, Paula; Burrows, AlisonInclusivity is the explicit and ultimate aim of Inclusive Design. Although the field continues to develop, it remains heavily influenced by product design logic and practices. Drawing on current discussions on how to educate designers for real-world challenges, we argue that Service Design offers a complementary knowledge set that supports novice inclusive designers in engaging with increasingly complex design ...
“We live in a plural world”: a framework for rapid interdisciplinary and commun...
Burrows, Alison; Aksoy, Aysegul Rosa; Azevedo, Rita; Barbutiu, Sirkku Männikkö; Dourado, Beatriz; Gianelli, Nuccia; Gomes, Marco; Imperiale, FedericaDesigning effective products and services requires a sensitive understanding of the people for whom you are designing. There are a number of established approaches for achieving this, all of which are predicated on notions of community participation in research and development work. However, such participatory approaches are often deemed to be too specialized and time-consuming to be used at scale. Taking the o...
Growing knowledge across boundaries: Lessons from a multi-actor design project
Burrows, Alison; Lima, Filipe André Moura; Pessoa, Ricardo; José, Rui; Trigueiros, PaulaIt is widely acknowledged that projects that seek to address complex socio-technical problems benefit from a deliberate mix of individuals, whose complementary expertise and skills can be leveraged in service of the project goals. Three ways through which this team diversity can be achieved are through industry-academia collaborations, through combining various disciplines, and through the inclusion of individu...
Empathy in the design of assistive devices for older adults: An exploratory stu...
Silva, Daniela; Burrows, Alison; Trigueiros, PaulaAssistive Devices (AD) aim to enhance the autonomy of their users, among whom are older adults. However, older adults often have negative feelings towards these products, such as the fear of dependence, which in turn influence their acceptance and use. These feelings can result from the use of design approaches that focus merely on users’ physical abilities. This article argues for the importance of rethinking ...

Drawing by embroidering: Social design embedded in the culture and traditions o...
Silva, Daniela; Vieira, Bruna; Leocádio, Paulo; Burrows, Alison; Trigueiros, PaulaThe accessibility of a product, service, or space is the extent to which it can be used by everyone, regardless of individual characteristics. Accessibility therefore requires a dedicated effort to design for diverse abilities and has traditionally been conceptualised through tangible features. However, for a person to interact with a product, service, or space in the first place presupposes their inclusion in ...

Morais, J.; Burrows, Alison; Trigueiros, PaulaGovernos em todo o mundo estão gradualmente disponibilizando os seus dados não confidenciais em plata-formas online, para facilitar o acesso público a essas informações. Porém, a maior parte das plataformas de Dados Aberto do Governo (DAG) não são tão inclusivas quanto se propõem pois, apesar da ênfase política no “envolvimento do cidadão”, seus verdadeiros usuários são profissionais técnicos. Este trabalho usa...
