Teaching sustainability in design: Assessing the usability of the design for amelioration tool
Purpose This study aims to evaluate the usability and effectiveness of the Design for Amelioration (DfA) tool in an educational setting, examining its reception among industrial design students, its impact on the design process and areas for potential improvement. Design/methodology/approach A cohort of second- and third-year industrial design students applied the DfA tool in their studio projects over a 12-week period, using its structured frame…
Creative integration of Egyptian cultural heritage in electric vehicle styling
This paper explores the integration of Egyptian cultural heritage into electric vehicle design, aligning with Egypt Vision 2030 principles. The purpose is to investigate how ancient Egyptian symbols can inspire innovative electric vehicle styling and assess the educational outcomes of such a design project. Conducted as a coursework project at the October 6 University in Giza, 6 of October, Egypt, this initiative challenged product design student…
Enhancing Offender Rehabilitation Through Co-Designed Controlled-Environment Agriculture in an Australian Maximum Security Prison
This research explores the application of controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) in an Australian maximum security prison, aiming to enhance inmate health and wellbeing through improved diet. The implementation of a medium-scale greenhouse demonstrates how CEA can effectively increase the availability of fresh produce in prison settings. By engaging inmates and correctional staff in a co-design process, the project not only promotes better nutr…
Fostering Community Empowerment: A Human-Centered Approach to Designing Clean Water Solutions in a Jakarta Slum
This article presents a case study of the application of human-centered design (HCD) as a codesign approach to address complex problems in slum communities in Jakarta, Indonesia. Through a review of relevant literature, we examine how the HCD methodology embraces a participatory framework but retains a certain degree of control not found in pure participatory approaches. We explain why HCD was selected for this study and describe the methods used…
Co-designing a conceptual controlled environment agriculture (CEA) model inside an Australian maximum-security prison: A research framework
This research paper presents the framework for a research study that aims to define and evaluate the design requirements and the related feasibility of a controlled environment agriculture (CEA) system concept within a maximum-security prison in Australia. A co-design methodology will guide the study so that the views of a broad range of stakeholders can contribute to the conceptualization of a CEA farm system that is appropriately suited to corr…
Producción y uso de objetos ornamentales elaborados sobre dientes de carnívoros en contextos arqueológicos del Humedal del Paraná Inferior
En este trabajo se analizan una serie de piezas dentarias de carnívoros discutiendo su utilización como objetos ornamentales por las poblaciones humanas que ocuparon el sector meridional del humedal del Paraná inferior durante el Holoceno tardío. La identificación taxonómica de los distintos elementos dentarios se efectuó mediante estudios morfométricos, siendo de particular interés señalar el reconocimiento de especies que son poco frecuentes o …
