Paulina and Prisca start the discussion with the article “Intuitive Innovators: Parents Designing Home-Work Environments”, Published at Unmaking Things in 2013, which look at parents working from home and how that can be relevant to lockdown experiences of many parents. The discussion continues with the research “Family Ritual 2.0” and the meaning of ritual in everyday life. To conclude Paulina explains her new project called “Fluid speculations: Drawing Artefacts in Watercolour as Experimentation in Research Through Design”, why she came up with this project, the project aim and why using drawing as a working method.

Paulina Yurman is an industrial designer, researcher and lecturer in industrial design at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. Her work is informed by critical and speculative design research, often exploring the ambivalence of designed artefacts and the associated behaviours these may incite. She uses making and drawing with watercolour and other materials as forms of speculative research. Her work can be seen at  www.yurman.co.uk and her current project Fluid Speculation.
