Abstract

Based on the theories of embodied schema, this short paper introduces the theoretical foundations, ideation process, and user research on three design concepts. People’s conceptual understanding is structured by a range of recurrent patterns originating from long-term bodily experiences with environments. The term “embodied schema” emphasizes that the schematic structures are grounded in the bodily interaction with physical spaces and objects. This study developed three conceptual designs to explore how the embodied schema of Containment can inform designing meaningful interactions in public spaces. The design results indicate that embodied schemas-based design thinking provides useful guidance for designing meaningful interactions with public spaces. In future studies, we will continue to explore more possibilities of embodied schemas-based design in consideration with other types of schemas.
