Unstable Design Lab

鈥淎n Introduction to Weave Structure for HCI: A How-to and Reflection on Modes of Exchange,鈥� authored by Assistant Professor Laura Devendorf, director of the Unstable Design Lab, Sasha De Koninck, an ATLAS-affiliated PhD candidate, and Etta Sandry, weaver-in-residence, received a 鈥淏est Pictorial Honorable Mention鈥� award at the ACM SIGCHI Conference on Designing Interactive Systems (DIS '22).

Lead author, Devendorf, presented the research during the Design Theory & Critical Design session.

As HCI continues to integrate craft techniques into its repertoire, tensions have emerged between what is new and known鈥攌nowledge that resides in communities and histories rather than individuals鈥攁nd how to transfer between the written word and material know-how. The researchers explored those tensions through the process of writing and instructing. The project's goal is two fold: first, to help HCI understand the potential that a deep understanding of weave structures can hold for advancing the HCI field, and second, to explore how a pictorial might support formats that have long been used for communicating craft knowledge.
