Marte S\u00f8reb\u00f8 Gulliksen, Telemark University College, Norway<\/h3>\n

CO-CONVENERS<\/h3>\n

Pirita Seitamaa Hakkarainen, Helsinki University, Finland
\nMaarit M\u00e4kel\u00e4, Aalto University, Finland
\nKirstine Riis, Telemark University College, Norway
\nCamilla Groth, Helsinki University, Finland<\/p>\n

Being
\nimmersed in a design process is an embodied process of making. In this
\nproposed thematic session we will call for papers that 1) explore the
\nphenomenon embodied making and the conditions for it within the wide
\nspectrum of design processes, and 2) how embodied making contribute to
\nlearning during the design process. The term \u2018design processes\u2019 is used
\nin a broad sense: the focus is on the act of making, and the maker could
\nthus be everyone engaged in creative processes making objects in a
\nmaterial (ranging from children\u2019s whittling to the professional
\ncarpenter, from the amateur knitter to the professional ceramist).<\/p>\n

Papers
\npresented in this thematic session will explore the basic conditions
\nand consequences of being a body in the world, experiencing and learning
\nthrough working in materials. Possible topics could be related to e.g.
\nfollowing keywords: making, creativity, and role of the body in design
\npractice. We encourage papers on interdisciplinary approaches and within
\na variety of methods.<\/p>\n

The context of the thematic session is the
\ncollective endeavors of a research consortium formally established at
\nthe LearnXDesign2015-conference in Chicago, June 2015 by researchers
\nfrom three research groups in Norway, Finland and Canada. At that
\nconference, the consortium held a full-day open symposium<\/a>. Papers from that symposium will be published prior to the DRS-conference as a special issue of FORMakademisk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The
\naim of the thematic session is twofold. First, it will be a meeting
\npoint of researchers from a variety of backgrounds to jointly share and
\ndiscuss their insights and ideas on the theme within the Design Research
\nSociety, and secondly it will be a forum for the research consortium to
\npresent their research to the larger DRS-community.<\/p>\n
