Survival kitU-CrAc: interdisciplinary challenges

Page 2: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

U-CrAc = a design process

Page 3: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

What to expect?How does the designer address problems?What characterizes the design process?What is the value/main focus in design?What are the tacit rules of design?What characterizes interdisciplinary team work?

A pieces of advice

Page 4: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

How does the designer address problems?

Page 5: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

Problems/assignmentsWicked or ill-defined problemsSearch for the underlying problemSearch for an understanding of the problem in a larger context

Page 6: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

Problems/assignments

They might not start to solve the problem, but to challenge the definition of the problem

They postpone decisions They work with developing a solution and

understanding the problem simultaneously.

Page 7: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

Problems/assignmentsHow may non-designers experience this

Frustrating – becuase the problem does not get solved as fast as possibleAs time consuming and unnessesary

Page 8: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

Problems/assignmentsWhy do they do this?

Because they more concerned about designing the right thing than designing it right!

Page 9: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

What characterizes the design process?

Page 10: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

The design processIterative Divergent og Convergent’thinking outside the box’

Page 11: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

The design process

If a solution does not work – you return to start (with the new learning you gained)

You do no stop at the first solution – you create many alternatives and evaluate these

You work with forced analogies what if an astronaut is going to use this?

Page 12: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

The design processHow might none-designers experience this?

As one step forward and two steps backwardAs unnecessary search for new ideasAs strange or maybe too childish

Page 13: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

The design processWhy are they doing this?• To make sure the whole solution-space

have been explored before selecting a solution,

• Because the search for new and alternative solutions that lies outside the ‘normal’/known realm of logic.

Page 14: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

What is the value/main focus in design?

Page 15: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

People

Page 16: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

People/users

The users needs are the most important other relevant issues such as economy

and ‘workability’ may be ignored or postponed until later in the development process

Page 17: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

People/usersHow may non-designers experience this?

As very limited focusAs no sense of reality

Page 18: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

People/usersWhy do they do it

Because they are the users advocate in the development process

Page 19: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

What are the tacit rules of design?

Page 20: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

The tacit rulesBad ideas die by themselves – so do not kill a potentially good idea just because you might think it is stupidIdea generation and idea evaluation must be separatedYou are the users advocateStop discussing – start testing! (prototype)

Page 21: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

What characterizes interdisciplinary team work?

Page 22: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

It is really hard!

Page 23: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

Interdisciplinary teamwork

Why is it hard

You have different knowledge, experiences and opinionsYou ‘speak’ different languagesIt is easy to feel outside/misunderstood

Page 24: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

Interdisciplinary teamwork

What to do then

Accept it is hardBe patient with your teammatesListen more – speak lessBe proactive rather than reactive (contribute)

Page 25: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

A piece of advice

• Be a co-designer• Do your best and take

care of your team• Accept that not

everything is within your ‘comfort-zone’

Page 26: Lecture interdisciplinary challanges on ucrac

Enjoy the ride!
