Various ways of accessing the meaning-making process in design activity have been explored in many fields of user-centred design, participatory design and human product experienced. However, designer collaboration activities in meaning findings have rarely been studied or reported. Therefore, this research investigates the influence of designers’ collaboration on designers’ thinking in creating meaning in the design process and the design elements that influence their making. It can be concluded that experience and a more active observation with an object in design practice contribute to the better idea in the meaning-making process.

This paper purposely to understand the relationship between reference materials and form the embodiment process illustrated in the design drawing sketch. To review the respondent’s design thinking characteristic and to surmise the scenario of the product development issue, a design protocol analysis put in place as a core method. Respondent behaviour throughout the design activities was recorded and analyzed through interaction design embodiment process. Analysing design activities and drawing sketch has produced some pattern which states the meaning of average design element, selected reference material, interaction behaviour, and the design process in a control situation.

This study aims to investigate the participatory design by using BIM concept and how to increase the quality of life through BIM during the design and usage process. For this purpose, user participation and BIM relationship examined through examples from the world. This paper describes a BIM framework which enables designers to involve users by using information technology. It demonstrates that participatory design approach combined with BIM can make a significant contribution towards an increase in performance in building and in the quality of life.Keywords: BIM; participatory design; collaboration; user needseISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019.

This study used factor analysis to investigate relationships between educator to student interactions, the relationship between students, skills to critical thinking, and motivation. Factor analysis showed that there are three factors; passion, assistance, and guidance. Meanwhile, the adequacy is 0.945 surpassing the recommended value of 0.50 using Kaiser Meyer Olkin. The statistical significance from the test of Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity indicated that 0.00 and χ2 = 3552.973. Adequacy measurement of Anti-Image Correlation Matrix ranges from 0.49 to 0.69. It is significantly important that educators guide the students in becoming more creative and innovative by using and applying DTMP during the learning process.

This paper is based on the two years community-based participatory action research (CBPAR), focusing on Cross-Cultural Design Collaboration (CCDC) landscape design studio, held in Iwase Neighborhood Association area, Matsudo, Japan. We first briefly introduce the problems of Japanese local community and introduce the priorities of collaboration between university and community in Japan. Then, we introduce the Design and Build program, which was incorporated into the Chiba University CCDC studio in 2014. The authors suggest “Students live in the Neighborhood Association” model as an effective way to facilitate the collaborative programs between university and local community. We critically reflect on the process of CCDC landscape design studio held in Iwase, Matsudo city in 2017-2018. Based on that, we provide the recommendations for the implementation of interdisciplinary practical programs in Universities, so they can contribute to the quality of life of local communities utilizing the suggested model.Keywords: community, landscape design, interdisciplinary research, community-based participatory action researcheISBN 2398-4287 © 2018.

The objective of this study is to design and improve the pedestrian environment and traffic signs with the participatory design at Ranong Kindergarten School. The result of this study was brought to identify the promotion of pedestrian safety zone. In the participatory process, the four groups were started up for collaboration including teacher and student group, local community group, academics group, and private organization group. The important finding was the “Brave Walk Unit,” the volunteer students who are the driven mechanism to promote other students who live near the school to walk or ride the bicycle to school on their own.Keywords: Pedestrian Environment; Traffic Signs System; School zoneeISSN 2398-4279 © 2018.

Window displays, as a part of selling strategies, not only convey the type and positioning of mechanize, but also the promotional strategies and corporate images. The study uses window displays for clothing to examine patterns, selling strategies, merchandize types, and target groups. It investigates the effects of design elements on the customers perceptual responding to configurations. The theoretical framework bases on marketing concepts, visual perception principles, Gestalt psychology, and design’s principle and elements. Research found that 14 factors in the design affected to perception. The study perception indicates that purchasing desire and attraction had more relation.

This research was undertaken applying the “stimulus-organism-response” theory with two objectives: to ascertain determinants of window display intertwined with product messages and strategies; to study perceptions on window display conveying positioning, value, and quality of products creating customer’s desire to visit and purchase. Significant findings are for fashionable products to employ a single merchandising approach with large window size; accessories to utilize warm background color and not showing in-store; eyewear, jewelry, and watch products to showcase through images of presenters wearing them; luggage to use accent-lighting to brighten itself. Additionally, the effects of visual stimuli affected consumers’ cognitive and affective reactions. © 2016 The Author. Published for AMER ABRA by e-International Publishing House, Ltd., UK..

A good design considered the safety elements are the fundamental approach in ensuring natural surveillance. This study aims to assess the safety elements in conserved heritage buildings by utilizing CPTED elements as assessment tools. The objective of the study is to determine whether the original design or the conservation work considered crime prevention aspect in the design. Elements used in CPTED formed an intensive Pro-forma checklist used in evaluating selected heritage building for this study. The assessment carried out using a scorecard system where the result indicates that all three buildings lack in consideration of preventive crime mechanism in their design consideration.Keywords: CPTED; safe heritage area; building conservation; an assessment tooleISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019.

The paper discusses the development of interview and focus group instruments to uncover the intuition occurrences in Designerly practices. The two data collecting method forms data source triangulation through in-depth interviews of eight experts and eight senior-level designers with four focus group sessions involving thirty-two novice-level designers. The instrument development took into consideration its reliability and validity for the triangulation analysis stage to follow. The result from four pilot interviews and one focus group discussion provides recommendation and refinement for the researcher’s guide as well as various data collection methods within the Design and Designerly research area.
