Everyday

Meaningful, sustainable interaction design should be rooted in aspects of everyday life, pursuing a kind of participatory social fiction, rather than a spectacular science fiction.

The cognitivist frame, one that separates representation from action, has shaped the design of computer technologies. Embodied interaction is an alternative perspective that prioritizes our interaction with the real, everyday world as the site of meaningful experiences with technology.

Lo-fi architecture is shorthand for an approach to architecture that embraces everyday life, with all of its complexity and contingency, as the context of design and looks to create the space for it to unfold.

When we understand creativity as a process with a focus on the emotions it arouses and the presence of the people involved (rather than as some exclusive talent), we frame even the simplest craft activities of everyday people as empowering, meaningful, and important.

The posthuman everyday is a world in which technological movements have been assembled to override human discretion, judgement, and intention with the needs of our technological systems.

Note: The above summary is in my own words.

The range of capabilities that make up design thinking include human-centeredness, divergent/convergent thinking, experimentation, and storytelling.
