Interaction Design
Interaction design is placed in the historical progression of design methods and situated within Buchanan's Third Order of actions, described through interaction patterns, feedback loops and affordances as defined by Dan Saffer.
Placed in the evolutionary sequence of design's self-refined methods, "the evolution from empirical craft-based techniques passed down through apprenticeship, to the rationalized processes of the Design Methods Movement, to the user-centered heuristics of interaction design, to the complex systemic approaches emerging today." Also located, via Richard Buchanan's "Four Orders of Design," within the Third Order, "actions (the domain of interaction design, service design, user experience, shaping processes, behaviors, and experiences unfolding over time)." At the Core Dimension of the Technological Component, its Elements are "the abstract patterns of interaction, feedback loops, affordances, signifiers, codified by thinkers like Dan Saffer in Designing for Interaction."
