A CATEGORISATION FOR MORE-THAN-HUMAN REPRESENTATION IN DESIGN

Despite the recent interest in utilizing More-Than-Human Design (MTHD) in design research, education, and practice, its integration into design curricula remains limited. This is because MTHD requires design students to engage with multiple stakeholders during the design process, explore relationships among them, including those of humans and nonhumans, and represent these relations and more-than-human users. This paper addresses this challenge by introducing a categorization for more-than-human (MTH) representation tools and providing recommendations for integrating the MTHD approach into design education and practice, particularly supporting decision-making in preparing MTH user representations.
