Embodying design: the lived relationship between artefact, user and the lived experience of design

Published: 01 August 2006 Publication History

Abstract

This paper will discuss through a discussion of fashion product, what it is to inhabit design. Drawing on a broad body of literature and the reflective practice of making this paper proposes that the lived relationship between user and object is an evolving participatory act that is both temporal and located. The intimate relationship between wearer and clothing will be the focus of the discussion, and it is hoped that colleagues from a broader range of design fields will connect to the ideas as they relate to your fields of expertise and design outcomes.
