The document discusses a project to develop a toolbox to support participatory budgeting processes in French colleges. The toolbox was created based on pilots conducted in 5 colleges in the Nord Pas-de-Calais region of France and is intended to help colleges engage students, teachers, staff, and parents in deliberating and deciding how to allocate part of the college's budget to improve learning and living qualities, as well as promote participatory democracy. The toolbox contains 8 tools co-designed with a pilot college to facilitate participation, in-depth project thinking, and transparency around the college's participatory budgeting process.DESIS forum paris_nasdesign slides

The document discusses a two-year case study conducted by design students at the Mad Fac in Genk, Belgium to promote social cohesion in the former mining area of Winterslag. Through co-creative workshops with local experts, policymakers, and inhabitants, students explored how design could help bring people together and find community solutions related to energy, crafts, food, and waste. Students immersed themselves in the neighborhood, conducted design research, and developed various solutions to enhance social cohesion, which were then presented at a local evening market.Parking

This document discusses the Bikeoff initiative which aims to increase cycling usage by reducing bicycle theft through innovative design solutions. Bicycle theft deters many people from cycling, however cycling provides health, environmental, and transportation benefits. Bikeoff uses an open innovation model to develop design guidelines for secure bike parking, exemplar projects that reduce theft risk through design of communications, equipment, and environments, and an educational design resource. Feedback from transportation officials indicates this multi-stakeholder collaboration is making progress in addressing bicycle theft and promoting cycling.Desis forum tv_walker

Women with young children experiencing homelessness often have difficulty developing life skills in transitional homes due to funder requirements. A project created a local currency system within one transitional home where women could earn and spend money to practice skills like budgeting, helping them gain employment and permanent housing to end the cycle of homelessness. Through participatory design with staff and researchers, an appropriate money management system and artifacts were developed for consistent delivery by staff.12.05.14 polimi 1 project

This document discusses a community-driven tourism and craft project in Genadendal, South Africa that incorporates indigenous knowledge systems. The project aims to promote social equity and cohesion by encouraging local participation in producing indigenous artifacts using traditional techniques passed down for generations. These techniques are predominantly labor-intensive and ecologically conscious. For example, leather is traditionally dyed using ochre oxide, also used for body painting, homes, and textiles. A scholar tested using indigenous plants and vegetable excess to create ecologically friendly dyes for leather and textiles. The project has potential for sustainability by using locally available materials and employing community members.DESIS forum paris_pro africa

(2) It works by placing e-direction boards with networking capabilities at traffic signs, and installing receiver circuits connected to displays in vehicles. The boards transmit direction information wirelessly to approaching vehicles.
(3) The system is intended to help prevent accidents by ensuring drivers can always see which way to go, even in conditions like darkness, fog or when signs are blocked. It provides a safer, more reliable alternative to traditional fixed direction signs.Visual and Instructional Design for Antionio Amaral

Silent Sound Technology allows for communication without making audible sounds by interpreting silent speech or lip movements and converting them to computer-generated audio or text. It uses electromyography to monitor tiny muscle movements involved in speech and converts the electrical signals to audio. Image processing techniques like lip reading are also used to recognize words based on lip and facial expressions. While it has applications like helping those who lost their voice and enabling covert communication, current methods requiring sensors attached to the face make the technology impractical. Researchers are working to develop more portable and accurate systems to realize the full potential of silent communication.newz.ro - Website Advertising

This document discusses three schools in Viña del Mar, Chile: Duoc UC Escuela de Diseño, Escuela Dr. Adolfo Tannenbaum, and Corporación Municipal de Viña del Mar. It notes that Escuela Dr. Adolfo Tannenbaum is a public school with 337 students from vulnerable situations distributed across general education, those with hearing disorders, and an integration program, but that it lacks recognition in the community for its role and work. The document proposes using design to document the school, help students identify with the space, create a visual identity, and enable community interaction through signage, teaching materials, and a web platform.

The document discusses The Digital Hands Project (2009-2011), a design project between partners in India and the UK. The project worked with a factory community in India addressing sustainable textile production, particularly wastewater and pollution. The researchers explored new ideas for printing and embroidery for interior fabrics with the factory's employees. They then acted as an agent to market the product as embellished fabric wallpapers to the high end New York interiors market.UAL DESIS Lab_LUTA

Fight for Peace was founded in 2000 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to offer young people in the violent favela communities an alternative to gangs through boxing. It has since expanded to running combat sports and education academies internationally as well as opening a second location in London. LUTA is a social enterprise that was created to support Fight for Peace through apparel sales, with 50% of profits going to the charity. LUTA develops its clothing lines in collaboration with Fight for Peace champions and young designers from Rio's favelas.UAL DESIS Lab_Bikeoff

This document discusses the Bikeoff initiative which aims to increase cycling usage by reducing bicycle theft through innovative design solutions. Bicycle theft deters many people from cycling, however cycling provides health, environmental, and transportation benefits. The Bikeoff initiative uses an open innovation model to develop design guidelines for secure bike parking, exemplar projects that reduce theft through communications and products, and an educational design resource. Initial results showed bike theft decreased while cycling increased from 2005-2006.12.05.23 ctu desis powerpoint

This design project aims to identify areas in The Fringe community that could benefit from sustainable solutions. The first step is to engage stakeholders and understand community needs and objectives. Researchers will then conceptualize design concepts through the lens of biomimicry and present their findings and solutions.Interviewing 90-year-olds: Sustainable lifestyles living with nature

The document discusses a project by NPO Sustainable Solutions and Tohoku University to interview 90-year-olds about their lifestyles living in harmony with nature when they were younger. The project aims to analyze these interviews to discover wisdom and technologies for sustainable living with limited resources. The goal is to design new lifestyles and business systems for modern society based on lessons learned from how 90-year-olds lived sustainably with nature in the past.Ecu project presentation

The document discusses a project called Planet Chef that aims to bring a community together to understand sustainable food and cooking. It involves a web-based game where friends and neighbors compete to cook large batch meals based on sustainable criteria for a potluck taste-test. The role of design in the project included cultural probes, systems development, iterative mock-ups for testing, information design, experience prototypes, and testing with friends and neighbors to support the local project development.12.05.01 nu project parking
