Constructive Design Research
CDR introduced me to research through design, focusing on applying one of the three methodological directions: the showroom.
In our research, we designed an interactive, speculative and radical future scenario where AI home assistants controlled various Smart Home Technologies (SHTs). This setup allowed participants to engage with and critically reflect on a potential future shaped by AI (C&A, U&S).
Through this course, I deepened my understanding of speculative and critical design (D&RP). It influenced my approach in future projects and courses, exploring addressing ethical issues of emerging technologies through speculative or critical design (M1.2, RTFE).
