A sociomaterial perspective on epistemic objects in design practice
https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2687-0971
Digital technologies enable realistic and highly refined representations early in the design process, yet designers frequently use rudimentary objects in their design practice. This research proposes a framework to explain characteristics of objects that make them appropriate for different roles in complex design projects. Objects created by designers in three research settings are explored through interviews. Through the lens of sociomateriality, objects are seen in roles of joining conversation across knowledge boundaries or encapsulating conversation. Four characteristics of fidelity, investment, ambiguity, and history are proposed to determine which role an object is suited to. The framework helps explain and guide effective use of technology and appropriate use of objects in design.
Highlights Sociomaterial characteristics explain appropriate use of objects in design practice. Epistemic objects join a conversation, overcoming knowledge boundaries. Technical objects encapsulate conversation of people collaborating in project. Social characteristics of objects include shared history and investment in design. Framework applies to digital and physical objects, guiding effective technology use.
