Pace Layers, a concept from Stewart Brand, describe how systems evolve at different speeds, influencing interaction design’s lifecycle. Fast-changing layers, like technology and fashion, drive frequent iterations in design trends, tools, and user expectations. Medium-paced layers, such as governance and infrastructure, shape usability standards and accessibility compliance, impacting long-term design strategies. Slow layers, like culture and nature, provide a stable foundation, influencing timeless design principles like inclusivity and ethical considerations. Interaction design work must align with these layers, balancing agility in adapting to fast changes while maintaining consistency and foresight to address slower, enduring societal and environmental shifts.
