    It is a matter of curiosity whether urban and architectural spaces can accommodate the ever-increasing technologies. This article presents a systematic literature review to show the extent to which the assumption that spatial changes of today cannot keep up with the pace of technological change can be verified. Our review approaches this issue from three perspectives: timeline, spatial changes, and user studies. We consider this review critical to explore the adequacy of spatial changes so that HCI designers and architects can address how users can incorporate technologies into their everyday spaces. Through thematic analysis, we revealed several changes that occurred in urban and architectural spaces. However, the extent of these changes is not enough to be considered a complete transformation for accommodating the current technologies. Considering our findings, we discuss the reasons for this scarcity and propose a speculative design methodology for tackling with the issue of technology, and architectural and urban spaces' coexistence. Overall, we create a baseline for future studies with four design directions to enlighten the way for design guidelines or design fictions that can help to bridge the gap from design research to design practice.

    How to speak 'sustainable fashion': Four consumer personas and five criteria for sustainable fashion communication
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) N/A; N/A; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Kaner, Gül; Baruh, Lemi; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; 36113
    The hazardous impact of the fashion industry has prompted institutions, manufacturers, and brands to provide more sustainable conditions. However, many consumers have little of knowledge about sustainable fashion products and procedures. This study provides findings on fashion consumers' informational needs on sustainability, and strategies for communicating sustainable fashion product information. The data comes from six focus group meetings and two conference workshops. The findings indicate that consumers generally think of sustainability in fashion as related to five criteria: material and procedure, environmental impact, animal welfare, human welfare, and product care. Furthermore, the findings underscore four related but distinct consumer personas (named by the researchers: romantic optimists, egocentrics, confused Alecs, and gloomies) based on their informational needs, motivation to increase sustainability literacy, and sustainability-related behaviour in fashion. These personas and criteria can be utilised to segment consumers and tailor communication and marketing strategies to enhance fashion consumers' sustainable behaviour.
