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.

Design Synthesis Integrated Product and Manufacturing System Design

Design Synthesis Integrated Product and Manufacturing System Design

The biggest challenge in any marketplace is uncertainty. The major changes taking place in world economies politics and demographics has raised market uncertainty to its highest level in the past 50 years. However with new markets opening up in emerging and developing economies the opportunities have never been better. To compete in this challenging atmosphere product design/redesign and manufacturing must be integrated to produce better quality products faster and cheaper. Design Synthesis: Integrated Product and Manufacturing System Design provides a conceptual framework and methodologies to do just that. The book explains how to integrate innovative product design with the design of a batch manufacturing system. It covers the technical and social aspects of integration presents research and best practices and embeds integration within a framework of sustainable development. It covers the two methods for achieving design synthesis: integration and harmonisation. Product manufacturing system and social system architectures are integrated (united or combined to form a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts). The concurrent processes to design the architectures are harmonised (made compatible or coincident with one another). Wide in scope the book supplies a multi-disciplinary perspective and an extensive discussion on how to maintain integrity during the design process. The authors present research and practices that are difficult or almost impossible to find. They describe the different types of system lifecycles and include guidelines on how to select the appropriate lifecycle for a specific design situation. | Design Synthesis Integrated Product and Manufacturing System Design

Situational Game Design

Situational Game Design

Situational Design lays out a new methodology for designing and critiquing videogames. While most game design books focus on games as formal systems Situational Design concentrates squarely on player experience. It looks at how playfulness is not a property of a game considered in isolation but rather the result of the intersection of a game with an appropriate player. Starting from simple concepts the book advances step-by-step to build up a set of practical tools for designing player-centric playful situations. While these tools provide a fresh perspective on familiar design challenges as well as those overlooked by more transactional design paradigms. Key Features Introduces a new methodology of game design that concentrates on moment-to-moment player experience Provides practical design heuristics for designing playful situations in all types of games Offers groundbreaking techniques for designing non-interactive play spaces Teaches designers how to create games that function as performances Provides a roadmap for the evolution of games as an art form. | Situational Game Design

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. This comprehensive collection makes an original and significant contribution to the field of Design Studies.
