What coffee taught me about building products?
You have probably been asked about your hobbies at some point. I never had a good answer to that question. Tbh, I still don't. A few years ago, while reading Designing Your Life, I realised something slightly uncomfortable. I did very little just for joy. Most things I spent

We interview people about their experiences with technological objects that were once everywhere, but are now being replaced or redesigned. We are interested in the physical experience of living with these objects, their handfeel and relationships to our bodies. We are also interested in how they shaped our habits, relationships, and ways of being. Technologies are more than physical objects: whole worlds of infrastructure, process, policy and culture are built around them.
Circular economy in the building and construction sector: A scientific evolution analysis
The building industry is responsible for considerable environmental impacts due to its consumption of resources and energy, and the production of wastes. Circular Economy (CE), a new paradigm can significantly improve the sustainability of this sector. This paper performs a quantitative scientific evolution analysis of the application of CE in the building sector to detect new trends and highlight the evolvement of this research topic. Around 7000 documents published 2005 to 2020 at Web of Science and Scopus were collected and analyzed. The bibliometric indicators, network citation, and multivariate statistical analysis were obtained using Bibliometrix R-package and VOSviewer. The co-occurrence analysis showed five keyword-clusters, in which the three main ones are: (i) energy and energy efficiency in buildings; (ii) recycling, waste management and alternative construction materials; (iii) sustainable development. The analysis showed that researchers pay close attention to “sustainability”, “energy efficiency”, “life cycle assessment”, “renewable energy”, and “recycling” in the past five years. This paper highlights that (i) the development and use of alternative construction materials; (ii) the development of circular business models; (iii) smart cities, Industry 4.0 and their relations with CE, are the current research hotspots that may be considered as potential future research topics.
Design: A powerful but neglected marketing tool
Design is a potent marketing tool that can be used to gain competitive distinctiveness and provide consumer satisfaction. But with few exceptions, most companies neglect or mismanage design as a marketing tool. The authors describe what constitutes good design; how companies can employ design to enhance their products, environments, communications, and corporate identity; and how companies can improve the working relationship between designers and marketing people. The article includes two audit instruments which companies can use for measuring company design sensitivity and design management effectiveness. Design (Entwurf und Gestaltung von Produkten) ist ein wirksames Marketinginstrument im Rahmen der Konkurrenzstrategie und zur Erhöhung der Konsumentenzufriedenheit. Mit einigen Ausnahmen jedoch vernachlässigen die meisten Unternehmungen das Design als Marketinginstrument oder setzen es schlecht ein. Die Autoren beschreiben, wodurch sich ein gutes Design auszeichnet, wie Unternehmungen das Design zur Aufwertung und Verbesserung ihrer Produkte, zur Abgrenzung in ihrer Umwelt und in ihrer Kommunikationspolitik und im Bereiche der Corporate Identity einsetzen können. Ferner zeigen die Autoren, wie die Unternehmungen die Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Produktgestaltern (designers) und den Marketingspezialisten verbessern können. Der Beitrag zeigt zwei Kontrollinstrumente für die Unternehmung zur Abschätzung der Design-Empfindlichkeit von Unternehmungen und zur Messung der Effizienz des DesignManagements (Handhabung der Produktgestaltung).

From cultures to aesthetics between Asian and Western UX design
Since I moved to Europe from Asia and used to work for European company from Asia. I feel like I have to discuss the topic of design aesthetics, cultural influences and user behaviours.
