International audience; How can project-grounded research (PGR) in social design makes it possible to question the creation of social relations, the emergence of forms of solidarity? Our article examines how social and sustainable innovation can integrate prospective co-design, foresight and societal fiction to offer new imaginaries of the territories. We explain how social design could invest in sustainable development and social and solidarity economy (SSE) by taking the example of the commons and community building. The first part demonstrates how social design can contribute to research in the social solidarity economy, by opening up to other research practices, like PGR, in particular through future-oriented studies and design. The second part puts social design into perspective with the practices of prospective co-design, to highlight the contribution of this approach to the fields of the SSE and sustainable development. Finally, we open up social design with a sustainable and united aim through the prospective approach, illustrated by two PGR case studies engaging prospective co-design for sustainability and to a lesser extent SSE. One case study explains how sustainable issues in rural and urban areas can find a solution in a visual tool created through a prospective codesign approach mixed with speculative design and strategic visioning. Another case study develops a co-design device in order to imagine alternative futures in a deregulated climate and environmental risks.

International audience; À partir d’un retour réflexif sur deux recherches-projets dans les domaines de la santé et de l’habitat, cet article analyse la contribution du design social et ses effets aux plans méthodologiques et épistémologiques. Ces recherches inscrites respectivement dans les sciences de l’information et de la communication (SIC) et la sociologie et dans une perspective d’innovation sociale ont mis en œuvre par l’usage du design social des contributions innovantes dans leurs thématiques de recherches. Les hypothèses et questions qui émanent de ces recherches-projets avancent l’idée d’un renouvellement méthodologique des SHS à partir des différentes disciplines mobilisées, et notamment de l’articulation féconde entre SIC, design et sociologie.

International audience; This project-grounded research aims at answering a need for research on sleep disorders and connected objects, through an interdisciplinary dialogue between human and social sciences, medical sciences and design. The objective of this article is to answer the following questions: how can social innovation by design sustain the development of innovative medical devices? How can design work to optimize the prevention, the support and the follow-up in sleep medicine? The project aims at creating a digital platform optimizing the circulation of the data, the customer's journey and the communication between patients and care professionals. The research has had a double scientific challenge, carrying on therapeutic education in sleep and digital health literacy, especially in the field of medical computing and mobile devices for chronic diseases. First, the scientific roots and methodology is explained. Then, the methods of inquiry and the results are reported. Finally, a contribution to design research for healthcare is proposed, focusing on the role of design in promoting sleep's hygiene through the creation of suitable services, products, experiences and healthcare environments.

En quoi la manipulation de données tangibles permet elle de renouveler la recherche et la pratique du design d'information dans le champ des humanités numériques ? C'est à partir de ce questionnement que nous proposons d'analyser une expérience pédagogique en Humanités numériques menée avec des étudiants en Design, sur le design d'information et la visualisation de données. L'intérêt de cette expérience pédagogique était de questionner la culture visuelle numérique des étudiants, liée à la fois à leur pratique quotidienne de réception de visualisations de données, et à leur culture graphique et matérielle acquise au cours de leur formation en Design. La finalité était de les acculturer au design d'information par la conception d'un dispositif basé sur la physicalisation des données, c'est-à-dire une mise en scène de données matérialisées par des objets tangibles. L'article vise à montrer que la tangibilité et la performativité propres à physicalisation des données transforment la médiation des savoirs, et que la data-physicalisation peut être utilisée comme une méthode d'apprentissage pour étudier et pratiquer les Humanités numériques. Avoir recours à la manipulation de données tangibles peut être utile et pertinent pour créer les conditions favorables à la réappropriation des connaissances par la pratique., How does the manipulation of tangible data make it possible to renew information design research and practice in the field of digital humanities? This article studies a pedagogical experiment in digital humanities made with students in design, on information design and visualization. The interest of this pedagogical experiment was to challenge the digital visual culture of students, linked both to their daily practice of consuming data visualizations, and their graphic and material culture acquired during their training in design. The main objective was to acculturate students to information design by the design of a knowledge mediation tool based on data physicalization, that is to say, a staging of data materialized by tangible objects. The article aims to show that the tangibility and performativity, as specificities of data physicalization, transform the knowledge mediation. Thus, data-physicalization can be used as a learning method to study and practice digital humanities, and relying on experimentations with tangible data can be useful to create the conditions for the students' reappropriation of knowledge through practice.
