Our new issue of Inmaterial, design, art, and society, proposes a territory open to contemporary forms and practices carried out in the context academic institutions, giving space to address the methodological, formal, and technical aspects involved in design and art research. We see this formal and pragmatical format as a line of flight. We see this issue as an open arena, including a multiplicity of exploratory territories based on practices, on experiences, on livings. In this issue you will find a series of articles that explore different aspects of design thinking and practice in the present. This is our attempt. These contributions invite us to a slow reading, a reading that should move us “beyond calculation to thought” (Boulous, 2017: 16). We hope that our intentions will be sustained by this new line of thought, and we invite you to “wait for the dust of reading to settle” (Woolf: 1925, 266).

Pros And Cons

This chapter describes two case studies concerning the introduction of computational design methods and technologies in new undergraduate architectural curricula, one in Portugal and the other in Brazil. In both cases, the immediate goal was to introduce state-of-the-art technologies in the curriculum to promote creative design thinking. The ultimate goals were to fulfill the criteria of intellectual satisfaction, acquisition of specialized professional skills, and contribution for the economic development of society that should underlie university education. The chapter describes the theoretical framework, the various courses and labs that were devised and implemented, as well as the strategies used to implement them. Then it presents the final results and concludes with a discussion of the pros and cons of each strategy. The main lesson drawn from both efforts was that cultural and organizational aspects are at least as important as technical aspects for the successful integration of computer media in architectural education.

The research discussed the concept of design thinking based on its relationship with the design specialist and its intellectual methods in analyzing phenomena to find solutions to the problems of the physical world in which we live, by identifying the foundations of design knowledge from studying humanistic theories and patterns of human thinking, through the cognitive references to the concept of design thinking, which was defined by cognitive modeling Creative thinking and designedly ways of thinking. And we found that design thinking is a mental strategy through which the design specialist intends to exhibit phenomena to find solutions to them, a strategy that differs from scientific and other artistic strategies. As this strategy adopts logical thinking related to the real world and creative imagination linked to the technical aspects of problem solving. The research found that this mental strategy is used in other disciplines based on creative thinking in achieving its products, such as business management and competition between companies. The research offer a group of creative strategies that have the ability to develop creative thinking for design professionals and other creative specializations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has fueled interdisciplinary research and innovation in institutions of higher learning to combat rising physical and mental health issues. A robust research methodology is the foundation and quintessence of quality research output. As innovation assumes increasing prominence in translational science-art research, the process of interdisciplinarity within the research design itself is of growing interest but lesser known. This paper extrapolates the crafting of a Translational Practice-based Methodological model of interdisciplinary research to promote health and wellness. Multimethodologies comprising practice-based approach, user-centred design and design thinking strategies inform the model design. Central to the model is the ‘User’ and the innovative artefact of research flanked by considerations of sustainable development goals, theoretical framework, assimilating methodologies and applying translational practice.

Methodological and technical aspects as well as application and results of the precordial Xenon-residue-detection technique are critically reviewed. The results concern mainly normal flow in various regions of the heart esp. in the free wall of the right and left ventricle, poststenotic flow in patients with coronary artery disease in relation to the degree of proximal nar-rowings as well as wall motion of the corresponding LV segment, bypassgraft flow and flow after drug interventions esp. nitrates, betablockers, the calcium-antagonist Nifedipine and the coronary dilator Dipyridamole. In spite of its serious limitations (high affinity of Xenon for fatty tissue, geometrical problems in the assessment of flow and its relation to anatomy, gas exchange in situations of high flow etc.), the technique is found to be a usefull investigatory tool. Due to its technical display and the related high costs routine application is, however, prohibitive.

Project Risk Analysis

This paper describes the method of project risk analysis based on design thinking and explores the possibility of its application for industrial investment projects. Traditional and suggested approaches to project risk management have been compared. Several risk analysis artifacts have been added to the standard list of artifacts. An iterative procedure for the formation of risk analysis artifacts has been developed, with the purpose of integrating the risk management process into strategic and prompt decision-making during project management. A list of tools at each stage of design thinking for risk management within the framework of real investment projects has been proposed. The suggested technology helps to determine project objectives and content and adapt them in regards to possible; as well as to implement measures aimed at reducing these risks, to increase productivity of the existing risk assessment and risk management tools, to organize effective cooperation between project team members, and to promote accumulation of knowledge about the project during its development and implementation.The authors declare no conflict of interest.
