Temporal Design: Rethinking time in design

Abstract

Response to Reviewers: I have updated the manuscript removing the initial sections and referencing the original DRS paper. I have reframed the contribution in the abstract and highlights. I've also updated figure 1 and included a new image (now figure 2).

HCI and deep time: toward deep time design thinking

“…At the same time, constantly connected and ubiquitous digital technologies fulfill an affirmative function on the middle-class identity, where constant 'busyness' has become synonymous with being successful. Taking an even more extended perspective on time, Pschetz and Bastian (2018) build on humanist notions of temporality and argue that time emerges out of pluralist relations between social, economic, cultural and political forces, and that designers consequently "can help to create artefacts and systems that disclose this variety [of temporalities], also revealing the intricacies of temporal relationships and negotiations that take place across individuals, groups, and institutions" (p. 174). They further argue that such an effort could help to reveal intersections between mundane temporalities, as experienced in the everyday of users, and more durational temporalities of the natural world.…”

Time and Aging: Designing for Time in Retirement

“…On the other hand, looking at the interdependent intertwined rhythms within the family, we observed some limitations on organizing their time due to their family bonds & cultural infrastructure needs and responsibilities. Hence, while looking at time experiences, we suggest evaluating collective and intertwined rhythms considering cultural aspects [13] and interdependent rhythms to design for a better quality of later life.…”

“…Slow design [5] challenges the acceleration by stretching time or slowing things down from the pace perspective. The temporal design [13] suggests a more pluralist perspective, which examines time considering social, cultural, and economic aspects rather than paceoriented. Similarly, "right time" [19] mentions cultural dimensions, "collective time" [8] looks at the time from the intertwined rhythms with whom people are sharing time in a connected way.…”
