Design Thinking

Design Thinking

This book is not just for reading. Design Thinking is something you need to actually do. Reading about design thinking will increase your knowledge but by doing it you will learn what design thinking can mean for you in your studies and your work. In this book we encourage you to take action: design thinking by doing. Since the end of the last millennium design thinking has received an increasing amount of attention from the business community social organizations universities and colleges. Organizations are confronted with complex problems and issues that are no longer self-containe clear or easy to define. The creative solution strategy offered by design thinking appears to be increasingly needed to adequately respond to the questions wishes and needs of customers and society as a whole. This book unravels the thinking and working process of design thinking and offers practical tools for getting started. The author approaches design thinking in four chapters from different perspectives: as a way of thinking a way of working a project approach and a tool box. Design thinking is a way of thinking answers the questions: How do design thinkers approach problems and challenges? Which six fundamental attitudes do they use and what do you need to know in order to use them? Design thinking is a way of working answers questions such as: What phases and milestones does the design process distinguish? What is the difference between the more structured design process and the ‘messy’ cycle of design thinking? Because you learn design thinking by doing you will practice this in Design thinking is a project approach. Finally in the last chapter Design thinking is a tool box the methods and tools that you use in a design project will be discussed. This international edition of Design Thinking is written for students and workers who want to apply design thinking to tackle challenges problems or complex (social) issues in a different practical way within their own professional practice.

Routledge Handbook of Sustainable Design

Routledge Handbook of Sustainable Design

The Routledge Handbook of Sustainable Design considers the design not only of artifacts but of structures systems and interactions that bear our decisions and identities in the context of sustaining our shared planet. In addressing issues of design for global impact behavior change systems and strategy ethics and values this handbook presents a unique and powerful design perspective. Just as there are multiple definitions of design so there are several definitions of sustainability making it difficult to find unity. The term can sometimes be seen as a goal to achieve or a characteristic to check off on a list of criteria. In actuality we will never finish being sustainable. We must instead always strive to design work and live sustainably. The voices throughout this handbook present many different characteristics layers approaches and perspectives in this journey of sustaining. This handbook divides into five sections which together present a holistic approach to understanding the many facets of sustainable design: Part 1: Systems and Design Part 2: Global Impact Part 3: Values Ethics and Identity Part 4: Design for Behavior Change Part 5: Moving Forward This handbook will be invaluable to those wishing to broaden their understanding of sustainable design and students and practitioners of Environmental Studies Architecture Product Design and the Visual Arts.

The Routledge Companion to Design Studies

The Routledge Companion to Design Studies

Since the 1990s in response to dramatic transformations in the worlds of technology and the economy design – a once relatively definable discipline complete with a set of subdisciplines – has become unrecognizable. Consequently design scholars have begun to address new issues themes and sub-disciplines such as: sustainable design design for well-being empathic design design activism design anthropology and many more. The Routledge Companion to Design Studies charts this new expanded spectrum and embraces the wide range of scholarship relating to design – theoretical practice-related and historical – that has emerged over the past four decades. Comprising forty-three newly commissioned chapters the Companion is organized into the following six sections: Defining design: discipline process Defining design: objects spaces Designing identities: gender sexuality age nation Designing society: empathy responsibility consumption the everyday Design and politics: activism intervention regulation Designing the world: globalization transnationalism translation. Contributors include both established and emerging scholars and the chapters offer an international scope covering work emanating from and relating to design in the United Kingdom mainland Europe North America Asia Australasia and Africa.

Planting Design Connecting People and Place

Planting Design Connecting People and Place

Landscape designers have long understood the use of plants to provide beauty aesthetic pleasure and visual stimulation while supporting a broad range of functional goals. However the potential for plants in the landscape to elicit human involvement and provide mental stimulation and restoration is much less well understood. This book meshes the art of planting design with an understanding of how humans respond to natural environments. Beginning with an understanding of human needs preferences and responses to landscape the author interprets the ways in which an understanding of the human-environment interaction can inform planting design. Many of the principles and techniques that may be used in planting design are beautifully illustrated in full colour with examples by leading landscape architects and designers from the United Kingdom Europe North America and Asia including: Andrea Cochran Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture San Francisco CA Design Workshop Inc. Richard Hartlage Land Morphology Seattle WA Shunmyo Masuno Japan Landscape Consultants Ltd. Yokohama Piet Oudolf Hummelo The Netherlands Melody Redekop Vancouver Christine Ten Eyck Ten Eyck Landscape Architects Inc. Austin TX Kongjian Yu Turenscape Ltd. Beijing. The book stimulates thought provides new direction and assists the reader to find their own unique design voice. Because there are many valid processes and intentions for landscape design the book is not intended to be overly prescriptive. Rather than presenting a strict design method and accompanying set of rules Planting Design provides information insight and inspiration as a basis for developing the individual designer’s own expression in this most challenging of art forms. | Planting Design Connecting People and Place

Design of Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures

Design of Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures

Design of Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures outlines a new design methodology for digitally fabricated spatial timber plate structures presented with examples from recent construction projects. It proposes an innovative and sustainable design methodology algorithmic geometry processing structural optimization and digital fabrication; technology transfer and construction are formulated and widely discussed. The methodology relies on integral mechanical attachment whereby the connection between timber plates is established solely through geometric manipulation without additional connectors such as nails screws dowels adhesives or welding. The transdisciplinary design framework for spatial timber plate structures brings together digital architecture computer science and structural engineering covering parametric modeling and architectural computational design geometry exploration the digital fabrication assembly of engineered timber panels numerical simulations mechanical characterization design optimization and performance improvement. The method is demonstrated through different prototypes physical models and three build examples focusing specifically on the design of the timber-plate roof structure of 23 large span arches called the Annen Headquarters in Luxembourg. This is useful for the architecture engineering and construction (AEC) sector and shows how new structural optimization processes can be reinvented through geometrical adaptions to control global and local geometries of complex structures. This text is ideal for structural engineering professionals and architects in both industry and academia and construction companies.
