Unpacking making : a product design critique on emergent uses of additive manufacturing
(CON-TEXT. PhD thesis;96, Doctoral thesis, 2019)In recent decades, designers have applied 3D printers as Rapid Prototyping (RP) tools for developing design ideas. Today, as technical capabilities are advancing, these tools are finding newfound uses within design practice ... -
Method development for the design of safety-critical systems
(CON-TEXT. PhD thesis;97, Doctoral thesis, 2019)A common field in academic research is the development and refinement of design methods with the aim of supporting professional design practice. As a result, design practitioners have a wide range of methods and tools at ... -
Human-centered, collaborative, field-driven ship design : implementing field studies for the design of ships in operation
(CON-TEXT. PhD thesis;98, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Current ship design processes have two main problems. First, the experiences of crew who operate ships are not included in the design process. This poses a problem because it limits the ability of ship designers to design ... -
Transforming public organizations into co-designing cultures : a study of capacity-building programs as learning ecosystems
(CON-TEXT. PhD thesis ; 100, Doctoral thesis, 2020)When designers try to create lasting change in the public sector, their aim is not only to co-design meaningful new or improved services, but also to embed the capacity – rather than dependency – of co-design into the ... -
Learning for future knowing now : investigating transformative pedagogic processes within a design faculty in a South African university of technology
(CON-TEXT. PhD thesis;102, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Design educators working in higher education institutions face the enduring challenge of translating creative design practice into pedagogy and curricula that prepare students for entry into the world of work. This not ... -
Service design in the later phases : exploring user insights, handovers, and service design roadmapping in the transition from service concept to implemented service
(CON-TEXT. PhD thesis; 101, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Human-centricity and user involvement have become increasingly emphasized in Norwegian legislation related to service development in the health and public sectors. At the same time, service design has emerged as a relevant ... -
Exploring Sacred Service Design

Refuturing studies: rehumanizing futures through/by design
(CON-TEXT. PhD thesis;121, Doctoral thesis, 2023)With the onset of climate and ecological breakdown, organized human life faces a precarious present and an even bleaker future. The sixth IPCC report (2021-2022) states that the window for drastic climate action is closing ... -
Speculating on design, life styles and forms : studies in the contexts of climate change sustainability
(Doctoral thesis, 2023)This thesis explores a speculative, nondualist and relational design approach to engaging with ongoing climate change and sustainable design transformations. Posthumanism, amongst other theories, has attempted to use ... -
Soiling Service Design: Situating professional designing among plural practices
(CON-TEXT;123, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Since the 1990s, professional service design knowledge has travelled globally, detached from its larger Western history and contexts. The proliferation of service design knowledge shapes how individual designers enact their ... -
