Design For Collaborative Research

My presentation at the AIGA Design Educator Conference contemplates on how to better embed design to the research process as a tool. It reflects on our workflow for integrating design processes with software development for Digital Humanities projects at Princeton.

Weighing Lightness

Thesis

2016

The project investigates and reinterprets the influential parameters of two opposing concepts — lightness and heaviness. Coding process in Grounded Theory, a qualitative method commonly used in social science, has been utilized to identity qualities that will influence the perception of lightness from literature and art and design projects. By presenting an analytical lens as a tool to inspect design and other aesthetic phenomena, it offers an explanation of the rather elusive concept of lightness.
