近年来，HCI表现出对人类在设计中的偏心越来越多的兴趣。这种分离是对对环境可持续性，技术过时和消费主义的关注的回应。学者们引入了理论概念，例如女权主义技术科学的自然文化。然而，这些理论如何转化为材料设计实践仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。这项研究旨在扩大HCI中非人性化设计实践的曲目。具体而言，它借鉴了分解的自然过程，作为开发和测试设计策略的创造性方法。为此，我们策划并批评数百个在建筑，设计，纺织品，手工制作和食物中分解的例子。我们观察到分解通常取决于我们所谓的“脚手架”，我们进一步提出了它的四个变体作为设计策略：分散，衰老，解放和追踪。然后，我们在陶瓷工作室中使用了多种材料，在四个月的时间内测试了战术，并结合了成功和失败。最后，我们通过反思了如何在非人性化的HCI/设计中部署设计策略。
HCI in recent years has shown an increasing interest in decentering humans in design. This decentering is a response to concerns about environmental sustainability, technology obsolescence, and consumerism. Scholars have introduced theoretical notions such as natureculture from feminist technoscience. Yet how such theories translate into material design practices remains an open question. This research seeks to broaden the repertoire of nonanthropocentric design practices in HCI. Specifically, it draws on the natural processes of decomposition as a creative approach to develop and test design tactics. To do so, we curate and critique hundreds of examples of decomposition in architecture, design, textile, crafting, and food making. We observe that decomposition often depends on what we call a "scaffold," and we further propose four variants of it as design tactics: fragmenting, aging, liberating, and tracing. We then tested the tactics over a period of four months in a ceramics studio using diverse materials, with a mixture of successes and failures. We conclude by reflecting on how the design tactics might be deployed in nonanthropocentric HCI/design.
