While extending the lifespan of products is a fundamental aspect of the circular economy, getting people to make the sustainable choice is not always easy. For her PhD, Renske van den Berge wanted to understand why consumers replace electronic products and explore how several design and marketing strategies could support the consumer to extend product lifetimes. 14 May 2024 Give people control over AI systems that impact their lives While government AI systems have the potential to improve things like efficient delivery of services to citizens, they can also harm people’s autonomy. So, how can public AI systems be designed to ensure citizens maintain control over their lives? Through his PhD research, Kars Alfrink says giving citizens a say in when, how, and for what purposes these systems are developed and used is vital. 13 May 2024 Stories of Team Science | Kritieke grondstoffen In deze longread spreken we met David Peck, Associate Professor Critical Materials and Circulair Design en met Benjamin Sprecher, Assistant Professor Critical Raw Materials and Sustainable Design. Samen met onderzoekers van alle andere faculteiten vormen zij het kernteam dat gaat over onderzoek naar- en met kritieke metalen. 29 April 2024 Design labels: the words that divide and unite us As designers, how do we explain what we do? There's a wide range of design labels to choose from. And it makes sense. Labels are a way for us as designers to indicate what we do, how we do it and what we value. What if we had a framework which allows us to explain every aspect of our design practice? IDE researchers Pieter Jan Stappers, Froukje Sleeswijk Visser and Annemiek van Boeijen developed such a framework. 21 April 2024 The holistic textile design research of Holly McQuillan As a fashion and textile design engineer, IDE researcher Holly McQuillan wants to change the fashion industry by introducing it to the woven textile-form technique, a kind of 3D weaving which involves creating three-dimensional form by using the weaving process. Through this she wants to make the industry more sustainable by providing realistic tools. “Automated 3D weaving increases control and flexibility, and may make production more cost efficient.” 16 April 2024 How design can help local governments better serve their communities Governments increasingly see the value of design practices in public service and policy issues, but there are obstacles when it comes to implementation. As an emerging field, there is not much knowledge on design in the public sector. Through her PhD research, Ahmee Kim set out to explore what hinders design for policy practices and how embedding design in organisations can create value, helping local governments to better serve their communities. 15 March 2024 A train car design for day and night Did you ever watch the film 'Murder on the Orient Express'? Inspector Hercule Poirot tries to solve the mysterious murder of an American businessman on the infamous night train. The film paints a very romantic picture of the night train, but is that still the case? "Actually, the business case of the night train doesn’t quite stack up," explains IDE Alumnus Annabelle Out. That’s why Annabelle designed a carriage interior for both day and night trains for engineering firm Royal HaskoningDHV. 11 March 2024 Feminist AI: transforming and challenging the current Artificial Intelligence (AI) Industry The Feminist Generative AI Lab is started by the Convergence-programme AI, Data & Digitalisation, and is led by Sara Colombo at the TU Delft. Feminist AI offers a new perspective on the AI industry by challenging the notion that AI design, development, and deployment should be guided by – and should mainly benefit, a limited group of individuals, predominantly from Western male backgrounds. Colombo advocates for other voices in data science and AI. 20 February 2024 IDE Alumnus Simon van der Jagt: “Designers give meaning to technology” Simon van der Jagt is founder of green chip company Nowi. He sees great value of designers in the tech sector. "The university has so much knowledge. But what concrete problem is being solved for people? Where and when is technology the solution? Designers ask the right questions."
