ABSTRACT
This paper takes the form of a photo essay that exposes the design process at a level of detail seldom found in traditional academic publications. With this format we document the development of a set of devices for exploring the microclimate of the home, with the intention of advancing current approaches to communicating (and understanding) practice-based research.

Self-evidence: applying somatic connoisseurship to experience design
CHI EA '11: CHI '11 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThis design case study examines and illustrates the concept of self-evidence by applying somatic connoisseurship to experience design. It invites a re-thinking of the process of design for technology, one that includes design for the experience of the ...
Reflections on a synergistic format for disseminating research through design
CHI EA '14: CHI '14 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsResearch through design as a form of research inquiry is becoming a more common approach within HCI and Design. However, questions as to how research generated through this approach is validated, disseminated and perceived are of current debate. This ...
Design-Led Inquiry for Mobile Lives
CHI EA '15: Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsMobile living and working has become a feature of everyday experience and interaction with others, mediated by digital, Internet-enabled technology. Such patterns of interaction in 'mobile lives' pose new opportunities and challenges for people and ...
