Exploring Design Patterns for Sustainable Behaviour

Products and services explicitly intended to influence users' behaviour are increasingly being proposed to reduce environmental impact and for other areas of social benefit. Designing such interventions often involves adopting and adapting principles from other contexts where behaviour change has been studied. The 'design pattern' form, used in software engineering and HCI, and originally developed in architecture, offers benefits for this transposition process. This article introduces the Design with Intent toolkit, an idea generation method using a design pattern form to help designers address sustainable behaviour problems. The article also reports on exploratory workshops in which participants used the toolkit to generate concepts for redesigning everyday products-kettles, curtains, printers and bathroom sinks/taps-to reduce the environmental impact of use. The concepts are discussed, along with observations of how the toolkit was used by participants, suggesting usability improvements to incorporate in future versions.

“…This perspective of product experience goes beyond the function of product, focusing on the presence of objects and the meaning of the interaction between human and product. Niedderer proposes a framework of this interaction of meaning making: mindful interaction, and names the products with the quality of meaning making as performative objects [30]. More specifically, mindfulness refers to a state of awareness or consciousness that implies one's presence of the moment, and is believed to promote psychological well-being [31].…”

Abstract. According to the theories of symbolic interactionism, phenomenology of perception and archetypes, we argue that symbols play the key role in translating the information from the physical world to the human experience, and archetypes are the universal knowledge of cognition that generates the background of human experience (the life-world). Therefore, we propose a conceptual framework that depicts how people experience the world with symbols, and how archetypes relate the deepest level of human experience. This framework indicates a new direction of research on memory and emotion, and also suggests that archetypal symbolism can be a new resource of aesthetic experience design.

“…Interaction design research is concerned with design as a means for creating mindful interaction through the use of objects in social context [21]. In other words, artifacts can stimulate user's behavior via system functions that give meaningful reactions in using the system.…”

“…As to encounter this, a set of user requirements need to be established in design activities, followed by the design stages that is done iteratively and finally the evaluation process involving users as to ensure that the system or product helps the users in achieving their goal [26 & 20]. Researchers raised issues on how in principle, the system or product can be designed to raise awareness and quality reflection of activities from users and society [21]. In view of that, proliferation of graphics became a key characteristic of modern social organization in design culture [17].…”

For that reason, it is better to understand human characteristics and how to employ it into system design function for better impact on design research [21].…”
