It is now an accepted maxim in design theory and practice that real-world problems needing the attention of design practitioners are not neat and well-structured, but ill-structured and “wicked”—part of a larger, complex social situation. For design education, then, to take its lead from contemporary social, political and economic structures, it will have to seriously re-think its problem-solving paradigms. The authors investigate the use of self-generating learning narratives in the classroom and contrast the approach they introduce with the still-too-prevalent notion that knowledge can be transferred from teacher to student. Their methodology draws from ideas formulated by Maturana and Varela on autopoiesis, specifically the notion of co-ontogenic drift.

While design theories in visual displays have been well developed and further refined, relatively little research has been conducted on design theories and models in auditory displays. The existing discussions mainly account for functional mappings between sounds and referents, but these do not fully address design aspects of auditory displays. To bridge the gap, the present proposal focuses on design affordances in sound design among many design constructs. To this end, the definition and components of design affordances are briefly explored, followed by the auditory display examples of those components to gauge whether sound can deliver perceived affordances in interactive products. Finally, other design constructs, such as feedback and signifier, are discussed together with future work. This exploratory proposal is expected to contribute to elaborating sound design theory and practice.

Today in Russia the urgent question of preparation of qualified specialists for the construction industry. Appearance of new types of work requires workers, foremen and superintendents know how most effectively to manage the construction process, and often it is impossible without a qualitatively prepared the technological card on a certain type of work. Routing is an integral part of the design and technological documentation. It is necessary to modernize the process of formation of technological cards and create a new one, following the trends of development of the construction industry. Use of modern information technologies for the formation of technological cards will eliminate a number of personnel issues facing the construction complex. Raise the level of preparation of design and technological documentation will be possible due to introduction of methods, models, algorithms for automation of documentation. The process of development of technological cards in construction is one of the most difficult and complex and, at the same time, the least automated. Therefore, development of new models and methods of automation, change the very process of creating this section of organizational and technological documentation, will allow to solve an actual problem of improvement of quality of formation of technological cards, reduce time and cost of construction. Methodological and theoretical basis of research includes: the theory and practice of CAD, system analysis and construction or for system architect, database design, theory of algorithms, thematic work of the authors, the normative documentation in the field.
