“…Foundational: Carrying out research in a programme is essentially about the programming maturing through interplays between design work and then lenses to capture key qualities therein [3]. Here, design work is seen as articulations embodied in design, enacted through sketching and pedagogical try-outs, as well as enclosed in the experiences of the children and staff.…”

The pedagogical use of multisensory environments (MSE/Snoezelen) addresses the fundamentals of engagement in the world through rich, wondrous and sensuous experiences. Despite the diversity of artefacts and materials used in these practices, interactive designs are few, screen-centric or limited to simplistic behaviour.Twenty-four children with profound developmental disabilities from three MSE institutions have together with us and pedagogues explored potentials in interactivity for MSE. From a suite of 17 interactive designs, we will describe the three we will demo.

“…Our work is based on a constructive design research programme [3] that explores potentials for enhancing the children's participation and sensuous experiences through interactive tangibles. The programme and the design work are guided by three foci: co-located & gradual coupling, bodily feel, and rudimentary agency.…”

“…As articulated by design researcher Johan Redström, a design program is a way of building a theory in design by proposing what design could also be(come) [Redström 2017]. The design program is a knowledge contribution that is particularly well-suited to articulate how research through design can produce analytical and generative knowledge for other designers and researchers [Binder and Redström 2006;Löwgren et al 2013;Binder and Brandt 2017;Redström 2017]. Redström even argues that a design program is where "research through design may make its most important contribution to design" [Redström 2017, p. 41].…”

“…It does so by going beyond current norms and values, to explore the pluralism of technological use cases and realities that exist in ongoing pasts and alternative nows. If design is about exploring the yet-to-come [Löwgren et al 2013], then troubling design is an act of curiously visiting that which is not present in order to make it present. In designing with women's health, it means bringing attention to and involving lived bodily experiences that are currently not present in design and research on women's health.…”

The euphemism "female trouble" (discreetly referring to women's health experiences) suggests that trouble is linked to women and bodily transitions women can go through. However, trouble is not only a noun; it is also a verb with a strong feminist tradition. In this article, I present troubling design; a theoretically grounded and practice-oriented design program for designing with women's health. Troubling design brings to matter how trouble is an implicit condition of designing ethical and responsible technologies for women's health. By designing with trouble, troubling design encourages designers and researchers to develop knowledge embedded in criticality and questioning status quo, in order to expand their perspectives on designing with intimate and tabooed bodily experiences. Grounded in feminist theory and research-through-design, troubling design contributes with analytical and generative design knowledge articulated through design examples and three practices: staying with the wrong, curious visiting, and collective imagining.

Designing for sketching to support concept exploration

Sketching is a way of exploring early concepts through the act of externalization in a suitable material with the aid of a suitable tool. One could use paper and sketch with a pencil or go digital and sketch with code. What is appropriate to choose depends on the situation and on the skillset of the person who is going to sketch. When sketching is done successfully, the externalization can "speak back" and thus engage the sketcher, and others, in a conversation leading to a better understanding of the sketched concepts as well as new concept ideas. This is thoroughly documented in literature-a typical example would be an architect sketching a site plan on a flat piece of paper and being able to read into the possible movements in the third-dimensional space. Sketching generally works like this in familiar, that is, idiomatic situations for experienced sketchers. In unfamiliar or non-idiomatic situations, existing sketching tools are inadequate for expressing and exploring
