During this day we would like attendees to help build a better understanding across a number of areas including:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>The differences between design research and computer science research.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The role that technology plays in design research, as a tool for expression, a tool for sketching, and as a source of inspiration.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Existing ways in which design academia engages with industry.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>"},{"id":1,"name":"Agenda","content":"<table class=\"gray-stripe tWiz\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr class=\"gray-stripeTableHeaderRow\">\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableHeaderEvenCol\" style=\"width: 100px\"><strong>TIME\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableHeaderOddCol\"><strong>EVENT\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"gray-stripeTableOddRow\">\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableEvenCol\">9.00<\/td>\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableOddCol\">Welcome and Introduction<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"gray-stripeTableEvenRow\">\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableEvenCol\">9.30<\/td>\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableOddCol\"><strong>Keynote:<\/strong> Anthony Dunne, Royal College of Art (UK)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"gray-stripeTableOddRow\">\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableEvenCol\">10.15<\/td>\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableOddCol\"><strong>Keynote:<\/strong> Caroline Hummels, TU Eindhoven (Netherlands)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"gray-stripeTableEvenRow\">\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableEvenCol\">11.00<\/td>\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableOddCol\">Break<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"gray-stripeTableOddRow\">\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableEvenCol\">11.15<\/td>\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableOddCol\"><b>Panel session 1: Designers, Technology, Craft\u00a0&amp; Materials<\/b>\r\n\r\n<em>Focusing on sketching and craft in design and how technology is embraced in these activities<\/em>\r\nChair: Lili Cheng, Microsoft Research (US)\r\nSpeakers: Simon d\u2019H\u00e9nin, ENSCI\/Les Ateliers (France); Trevor Duncan, Northumbria University (UK); Asta Roseway, Microsoft Research (US)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"gray-stripeTableEvenRow\">\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableEvenCol\">12.30<\/td>\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableOddCol\">Lunch<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"gray-stripeTableOddRow\">\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableEvenCol\">13.30<\/td>\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableOddCol\"><b>Panel session 2: <\/b><b>Design Academia &amp; Industry<\/b>\r\n\r\n<em>Focusing on examples of design and industry overlap<\/em>\r\nChair: Bill Buxton, Microsoft Research (Canada)\r\nSpeakers: Durrell Bishop, Luckybite (UK); Dominique Sciamma, Strate College (France); Nicolas Villar, Microsoft Research (UK)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"gray-stripeTableEvenRow\">\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableEvenCol\">14.45<\/td>\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableOddCol\">Break<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"gray-stripeTableOddRow\">\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableEvenCol\">15.00<\/td>\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableOddCol\"><b>Panel session 3: <\/b><b>Design &amp; Science<\/b>\r\n\r\n<em>Focusing both on how design engages with the science, and the difference between scientific practice and design practice<\/em>\r\nChair: Tim Regan, Microsoft Research (UK)\r\nSpeakers: Daniela Rosner, University of Washington (US); Carole Collet, Central St Martin\u2019s (UK); Curtis Wong, Microsoft Research (US)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"gray-stripeTableEvenRow\">\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableEvenCol\">16.15<\/td>\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableOddCol\"><b>Keynote:<\/b> Bill Buxton, Microsoft Research (Canada)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"gray-stripeTableOddRow\">\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableEvenCol\">16:45<\/td>\r\n<td class=\"gray-stripeTableOddCol\">Close<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<em>\r\nNote: this event will take place in the Rainier Room in the Microsoft Conference Center (Building 33).<\/em>"},{"id":2,"name":"Keynotes","content":"<h2><img class=\"size-full wp-image-203199 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/en-us-events-design-day-dunne.jpg\" alt=\"dunne.jpg\" width=\"68\" height=\"68\" \/>Talk title to come<\/h2>\r\n<strong>Anthony Dunne, Professor and Head of Programme\r\n<\/strong>Design Interactions, Royal College of Art, London\r\n\r\n<strong>Abstract:<\/strong> Design theorist Bjorn Franke has suggested that one of the main differences between science research and design research is that science focusses on existing reality while design explores realities that do not exist yet, and maybe never will.

On returning to London he completed a PhD in Computer Related Design at the RCA. He was a founding member of the CRD Research Studio where he worked as a Senior Research Fellow leading industry and EU funded research projects. Anthony\u2019s work with Fiona Raby uses design as a medium to stimulate discussion and debate amongst designers, industry and the public about the social, cultural and ethical implications of existing and emerging technologies. Dunne &amp; Raby\u2019s projects have been exhibited and published internationally and are in the permanent collections of MoMA, New York, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Dunne &amp; Raby have worked with Sony UK, Panasonic, France Telecom and the Science Museum. Anthony and Fiona have written several books including Design Noir and Hertzian Tales (The MIT Press). Anthony was awarded the Sir Misha Black Award for Innovation in Design Education in 2009.\u201d\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h2><img class=\"size-full wp-image-203198 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/en-us-events-design-day-hummels.jpg\" alt=\"hummels.jpg\" width=\"68\" height=\"68\" \/>The importance of craftsmanship and cooperation for designing interactive system, product and services<\/h2>\r\n<strong>Caroline Hummels, Professor in Design Theory<\/strong>\r\nIndustrial Design Department, Eindhoven University of Technology\r\n\r\n<strong>Abstract: <\/strong>What kind of society do we want technology to support and how to design for this society? In this presentation I'm going to elucidate our answer to this question. Starting with our theoretical foundation of phenomenology, I zoom in on two concepts that are introduced by Sennett about skills to sustain in everyday life: craftsmanship and cooperation. Regarding craftsmanship, we explore the quest to make physical things well. We consider making experienceable prototypes quintessential for design. But how can designers use new technological materials in an intuitive way to evoke experiences? And what kind of frameworks, methods and tools do designers need to design for interactive\/intelligent systems, products and services? Regarding cooperation, we address how diversity of expertise can bring a society into existence. What are the consequences for cooperation with the shift from a knowledge to a transformation economy? And how does this shift shape the relationship between academia, more specifically design research, and industry, more specifically Microsoft Research? I will show with examples from education and design research our quest to answer these questions.\r\n\r\n<strong>Biography: <\/strong>\u201cCaroline Hummels is full professor of Design Theory at the department of Industrial Design, TU\/e, as well as head of the Designing Quality in Interaction group. She studied Industrial Design Engineering at the Delft University of Technology (cum laude) and also obtained her PhD (cum laude) there. Her current activities concentrate on designing for personal, social and societal transformation, with a special focus on health and well-being. She designs for transformation based on the aesthetics of interaction with open, disruptive innovative systems within a societal context. Moreover, she is a designer-researcher with extensive experience in (interaction) design, education and research-trough design. She has developed various (research) prototypes and installations next to design methods, techniques and processes. She is a member of the steering committee of the Tangible Embedded, and Embodied Interaction Conference (TEI) as well as editorial board member of the International Journal of Design.\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Bill Buxton, Principal Researcher\r\n<\/strong>Microsoft Research (Canada)"}],"msr_startdate":"2013-07-17","msr_enddate":"2013-07-17","msr_event_time":"","msr_location":"Redmond, WA, US","msr_event_link":"","msr_event_recording_link":"","msr_startdate_formatted":"July 17, 2013","msr_register_text":"Watch now","msr_cta_link":"","msr_cta_text":"","msr_cta_bi_name":"","featured_image_thumbnail":null,"event_excerpt":"During the last 20 years Microsoft Research has grown to be one of the largest and most respected corporate research facilities in the world.
