AI as Friction for Reflection Support in Ideation

Generative AI tools for creative work tend to be designed around the goal of removing friction, on the assumption that smoother iteration and faster output translate into more value for the designer. We argue, however, that this framing leaves out something important about how design ideation works, namely reflection-in-action.

COrigami: An AI Pipeline for Co-Designing Flat-Foldable Visually Recognisable Origami

arXiv:2606. 26299v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While generative AI has achieved remarkable success in solving problems with verifiable solutions, generating physical art that satisfies both strict geometric constraints and subjective visual aesthetics remains a challenge.

Human-AI Coordination Zones: A Framework for Designing Human-in-the-Loop Experiences with Agentic AI

arXiv:2606. 09848v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As generative and agentic AI becomes embedded in everyday products, practitioners face a persistent challenge: how to design human-AI coordination -- the ongoing mutual adjustment between users and AI systems as mediate through interfaces-that supports usability, trust, and safety.
