“…These are distinct from design fiction [7] in that they focused on the technology, rather than the narrative supporting their position in the social fabric of the smart building, as we wanted students to discuss and imagine the wider context for themselves. Ambe et al [3] assert that researchers should include user narratives in the design of fictions, and as such we drew on formative interviews with building managers to inform the design of our artefacts. Though these were designed by the lead researcher, rather than co-designed with participants, they drew on the themes from this guiding research which were presented in a workshop paper at CHI 2018 [44].…”

Smart buildings offer an opportunity for better performance and enhanced experience by contextualising services and interactions to the needs and practices of occupants. Yet, this vision is limited by established approaches to building management, delivered top-down through professional facilities management teams, opening up an interaction-gap between occupants and the spaces they inhabit. To address the challenge of how smart buildings might be more inclusively managed, we present the results of a qualitative study with student occupants of a smart building, with design workshops including building walks and speculative futuring. We develop new understandings of how student occupants conceptualise and evaluate spaces as they experience them, and of how building management practices might evolve with new sociotechnical systems that better leverage occupant agency. Our findings point to important directions for HCI research in this nascent area, including the need for HBI (Human-Building Interaction) design to challenge entrenched roles in building management.

“…For example, in adversarial design, DiSalvo [29] has emphasized this with agonism of design; design and designed things can work as a site of pluralism and contestation of political values. Similarly, speculative design scholars have highlighted this kind of multiplicity by involving and empowering people with different background as part of co-design of speculative futures [2,13,105]. These perspectives emphasize that design should be engaged with all of the multiple subjectivities and forms of participation within the public.…”

“…This included two interviews from Center Party, Green Party, Social Democratic Party and National Coalition party (total of eight interviewees), and a single interviewees from Christian Democrats, Finns Party, Left Alliance, and Swedish People's Party. 2 . The differences is numbers of actors per each party relate to party size (see Table 1 for number of seats).…”

“…We asked the participants to comment on the eight different design probes (presented below) which sought to support discussion about political news in social media. In particular, we requested the participants to (1) comment on what effects each probe could produce for political discussions, (2) what they understood to be designers' goals with each of the probes and (3) how their party might react to these probes and values and goals they presented. Each probe was presented separately and the interviewer asked all three questions for each probe.…”

“…Our use of design probes as part of the study is inspired by previous work on design fiction and speculative design [e.g., 6,12]. There are many approaches within this broad design approach [14]: some use such tools as a tool for critique [e.g., 86], others use the approach to engage with users in a research through design-settings [2], and some to understand potential futures. In our work, the probes act as a tool for theory-driven understanding of today; similar to value statements used in social sciences, our probes are crafted to express provocative statements which are used in the interview process [78,92,107].…”

There have been several attempts to support political engagement through novel social media services. While the political nature of any technologies is widely acknowledged in human-computer interaction, such considerations have been less studied when designing for political engagement in social media services. We used speculative design probes to gauge how political elites perceive alternative social media interfaces designed to increase media diversity and decrease political polarisation. We show how elites? reactions to design probes could be rooted into party ideologies. Based on these, we discuss directions how social media services could be designed. Our underlying contribution is wider. We show how studying elites can provide insights about politics embedded into proposed novel social media services for political engagement. Second, we demonstrate what elites? perspective provide fruitful way to expand and rethink concepts that have been used to study ordinary people before. Finally, we discuss potential challenges of replacing economic interests with political interest in social media service design and provide a richer account on the discussion about social media regulation. Therefore, we pave the way to more research to critically study elites within social computing scholarship and highlight the importance of understanding political motivations which can guide the development of social media.
