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.

Reintroducing Materials for Sustainable Design Design Process and Educational Practice

Reintroducing Materials for Sustainable Design Design Process and Educational Practice

Reintroducing Materials for Sustainable Design provides instrumental theory and practical guidance to bring materials back into a central role in the design process and education. To create designs that are sustainable and respond to current environmental economic and cultural concerns practitioners and educators require a clear framework for materials use in design and product manufacturing. While much has been written about sustainable design over the last two decades outlining systems of sustainability and product criteria to design for material circularity requires a detailed understanding of the physical matter that constitutes products. Designers must not just know of materials but know how to manipulate them and work with them creatively. This book responds to the gap by offering a way to acquire the material knowledge necessary to design physical objects for sustainability. It reinforces the key role and responsibility of designers and encourages designers to take back control over the ideation and manufacturing process. Finally it discusses the educational practice involved and the potential implications for design education following implementation addressing didactics facilities and expertise. This guide is a must-read for designers educators and researchers engaged in sustainable product design and materials. | Reintroducing Materials for Sustainable Design Design Process and Educational Practice

Design for Health

Design for Health

One of the most complex global challenges is improving wellbeing and developing strategies for promoting health or preventing ‘illbeing’ of the population. The role of designers in indirectly supporting the promotion of healthy lifestyles or in their contribution to illbeing has emerged. This means designers now need to consider both morally and ethically how they can ensure that they ‘do no harm’ and that they might deliberately decide to promote healthy lifestyles and therefore prevent ill health. Design for Health illustrates the history of the development of design for health the various design disciplines and domains to which design has contributed. Through 26 case studies presented in this book the authors reveal a plethora of design research methodologies and research methods employed in design for health. The editors also present following a thematic analysis of the book chapters seven challenges and seven areas of opportunity that designers are called upon to address within the context of healthcare. Furthermore five emergent trends in design in healthcare are presented and discussed. This book will be of interest to students of design as well as designers and those working to improve the quality of healthcare.

Urban Design Made by Humans A Handbook of Design Ideas

Urban Design Made by Humans A Handbook of Design Ideas

The design of urban environments is complex and involves diverse needs organisations professions authorities and communities. It requires relationships to be constructed and sustained between infrastructure resources and populations across multiple scales. This can be quite daunting. However at the core of urban design is a simple idea—our urban spaces are designed to allow people and communities to thrive. For that reason a good starting point for urban designers is to focus on the way people think when engaging our built environment. This thinking is embodied developed through the interactions between our mind body and the environment around us. These embodied concepts are central to how we see the world how we move and gather and how we interact with others. They are also the same ideas we use to design our environments and cities. Urban Design Made by Humans is a reference book that presents 56 concepts notions ideas and agreements fundamental to the design and interpretation of our human settlements. The ideas here parallel those found in Making Architecture Through Being Human but extends them into urban environments. Urban Design Made by Humans distinctly highlights priorities in urban design in how we produce meaningful environments catering to wider groups of people. Each idea is isolated for clarity with short and concise definitions examples and illustrations. They are organised in five sections of increasing complexity. Taken as a whole the entries frame the priorities and values of urban design while also being instances of a larger system of human thinking. | Urban Design Made by Humans A Handbook of Design Ideas
