Embodied Design Methods
In several projects I employ and further embodied design methods, to understand and address the social and physical context of the design situation by harnessing the bodily, social, and situated experience of those participating. Some of these methods are Embodied Sketching, Bodystorming, and Sensory Bodystorming.
I also use embodied design explorations in techology design projects to test and iterate the technological artefacts used; to explore and consider the nuanced relationships between multiple design resources that are intertwined.
Part of my research investigates how to document these methods, which is challenging due to the ephemerality and elusiveness of the emerging design knowledge and constructs.
