Research Area

Proposing Design Process and Methods based on Data and AI




Research Support: National Research Foundation of Korea

Project Name/Duration: General Collaborative Research / 2023.6 ~2026.5 (3 years)

Investigator(s)/Collaborator(s): Myung-Heum Yeon (Kookmin University), Ji-Hyun Lee (Seoul Women's University), Chung-Cheol Jung (Seoul National University)

Research Purpose and Content:

Today, the role of artificial intelligence in the design field has increased significantly, and expectations and anxieties coexist. One of the reasons for this change is the role of data. The sophisticated analysis of big data and its use in the design process is becoming a new design activity, and AI is also being used for data-driven design. However, there is still a lack of integrated research on the types of data and AI tools, what role they are playing, and at what stage of the design process they are being utilized.


In this study, we explore the application of big data, other types of data, and tools and methods based on various AI technologies, such as deep learning, to design work. It analyzes how design processes and methods need to change and how this will affect the skills and qualities required by designers. This research is organized into three parts, as follows:


Part 1: Designing with AI Tools:

RQ: What are AI design tools, what are the effects of their utilization, and what is the role of designers?


Part 2: Data-Driven Design Process Research

RQ: How can user log data be utilized to improve online services? Can data compensate for the limitations of qualitative design methods? And what is the desirable integration of big data and qualitative data?


Part 3: Data-based Lean UX Cycle Research

RQ: What are the data visualization methods that allow users to reflect on their usage behavior, and how can design questions and prompts be structured through visualization?

(prompts) through visualization to create an iterative UX cycle that quickly generates reflective UX prototypes.

Design for 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing 

In the field of technology that is developed in connection with 3D printing around the world, various parts such as open source-based electronic and electrical technologies, firmware programming, mechanism design, etc. are being fused and studied, and products with new functions are derived based on this. In Korea, only the narrow functions of 3D printers operated by prototype production, etc. are emphasized and recognized. Accordingly, the open source technology of 3D printing is studied, and the design concept of the new product from the perspective of the designer, the production of prototypes, and the production of prototypes will seek new competitiveness of the designer. In relation to the research and development of clothing 3D printers, wire bending machines, 3D 3D printers, 3D printers, etc. design and application research will be conducted.

Human Experience Design

We explore the design implications of digital technology in our everyday life by observing a wide range of human experiences. We focus on conducting empirical studies to collect and analyze real-world data that will lead to propose novel user experiences in the use of new media. In so doing, we aim to establish an open innovation platform and apply human-centred design approach in the design space of smart living, working and social life.

Design for Augmented Digital Gifting 

Gift exchange is a ritual practice imbued with current values of social relationships. Thus, rituals of gift exchange differ from one place to another or one generation to the other. While the Internet and smart devices have transformed the form of gift and the manner of exchange by enabling dynamic online gifting, the design of digital gifting interfaces are still confined to Mauss’ dyadic exchange protocol – give, receive, and reciprocate. Therefore, in this research, we explore the 'experience' aspect of gift exchange by physically or spatially augmenting intangible digital gifts to enhance the overall exchange experience.
