EMOTIONALLY DURABLE DESIGN



The progress illusion

  • Environmental concerns: human awareness of their impact on the biosphere as for back as 13th Century

Symptom-focused design

  • nothing is completely sustainable

Emotionally durable design

  • going beyond the technology
  • ability to emotionally connect to the object
  • someday people will be tired of THIS!
  • we generate waste

Emotionally durable design technology

  • emotional engagement

ex. tamagochi

  • feed-forward and inherent feedback
  • fuzzy interfaces
  • alternative models of interactions
  • innersive and emotionally rich experience

  • triggers of meaning to spark reactions

ex. teddy bear, levi's jeans
