Materiales Do it Yourself DiY: exploraciones emergentes sobre las cualidades expresivo-sensorio-emocionales

Abstract

What are the main approaches from which DiY materials research is being developed in the field of industrial design? With this article we report the results of the review that locates epistemological and methodological places of studies on DiY materials. The current panorama of research in this area is presented, triangulating methods of qualitative analysis and social network analysis -SNA-, both from social studies and from emerging approaches to design research, finding that its positioning is dispersed between post-positivism, participatory approach, critical design, user-centered design, emotional design and generative-participatory approach to design studies. This reflects the great variety of topics developed in the field, while revealing little cohesion in the co-production of new knowledge that characterizes the network of authors, a fact that constitutes an opportunity to connect interests through inter-transdisciplinary inquiry from the diversity of geographical locations, projecting research in DiY materials towards participatory design practices, combining local knowledge and feelings of the communities with technical and disciplinary knowledge of design, playing with new expressive-sensory-emotional edges of design oriented to materials.
