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.

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.
