Garbage/art island
Power is inherent in tourism development, shaping who defines place narratives, controls resources, and governs participation. While scholarship has moved beyond top-down/bottom-up binaries to adopt a relational view of power as co-produced and negotiated, two limitations remain: 1) emphasis on institutional and discursive dimensions over how power materializes through spatial design, and 2) treatment of historical legacies as background rather t…
Ethics, Tradition and Temporality in Craft Work
Based on an empirical illustration of Onta pottery and more broadly a discussion of the Japanese Mingei movement, we study the intimacy between craft work, ethics and time. We conceptualize craft work through the temporal structure of tradition, to which we find three aspects: generational rhythms of making; cycles of use and re-use amongst consumers and a commitment to historically and naturally attuned communities. We argue these temporal struc…
Social system design methodology for transitioning to a new social structure – a holistic urban living lab approach to the well-being city
In recent years, along with the rise of new technologies such as AI, IoT, and Bigdata, there has been much discussion replacing entire cities with smart cities. These discussions have given rise to questions about what kind of society should be realized, and keywords such as well-being and sustainability are attracting attention. In this context, how concretely can we transform our current cities into new social structures? Social system design m…
Reflexive design thinking
Over the years we have been involved in practices of applying methods and insights of human- computer interaction (HCI) for client engagements. Specifically, we emphasize a human-centered approach employing ethnography and participatory design that we collectively refer to as human-centered design practices. Yet we have become increasingly aware of a gap between what we do in our practice and what HCI offers us by inherently delimiting outcomes t…

Teaching organizational ethnography
In 2004 Fujitsu asked PARC to carry out an ethnographic investigation of their software business, focusing on their development processes, and while doing so to build an ethnographic capability in their own organization. One of our biggest challenges was to convince Fujitsu's system engineers - and the development organization more generally - of the value of ethnography for their business. They are used to translating what they hear from custome…
