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.

Design Thinking in Student Affairs A Primer

Design Thinking in Student Affairs A Primer

Design thinking is an innovative problem-solving framework. This introduction is the first book to apply its methodology to student affairs and in doing so points the way to its potentially wider value to higher education as a whole. With its focus on empathy which is the need to thoroughly understand users’ experiences design thinking is user-centered similar to how student affairs is student-centered. Because the focus of design thinking is to design with users not for users it aligns well with student affairs practice. In addition its focus on empathy makes design thinking a more equitable approach to problem-solving than other methods because all users’ experiences—not just the experiences of majority or “average” student—need to be understood. Centering empathy in problem-solving processes can be a tool to disrupt higher education systems and practices. Design thinking is a framework to foster innovation and by its nature innovation is about responding to change factors with creativity. In an organization design thinking is inherently connected to organizational change and culture because the process is really about changing people to help them rally around a disruptive idea. Implementing design thinking on a campus may in itself be disruptive and require a change management process. The beauty of using design thinking is that it can also act as a framework to support organizational culture change. Design thinking approaches with their focus on stakeholder needs (as opposed to systemic norms) collaborative solutions building and structured empathy activities can offer a concrete tool to disrupt harmful systems of power and oppression. Design thinking as a process is not a magic solution to equity problems though it can be a powerful tool to approach the development of solutions that can address inequity. Design thinking is data-driven and considers both qualitative and quantitative data as necessary to gain most complete picture of an issue and its possible solutions whether a product program or service. Design thinking has numerous benefits to afford students affairs. Chapter 1 outlines a case for design thinking in student affairs. Chapter 2 discusses a brief history of design thinking noting its germination and evolution to current practice. Chapter 3 provides a detailed description of each step of the design thinking model with pertinent examples to make the steps clearer. Chapter 4 explains the intersection of equity and design thinking while chapter 5 explores the use of design thinking for organizational change. Chapter 6 presents a new model for design thinking assessment. Chapter 7 addresses the challenges and limitations of the process. Chapter 8 concludes the book by discussing the alignment of design thinking and student affairs and outlining next steps. Design thinking is an innovative process that can change the way higher education and student affairs operates realizing the potential it offers. | Design Thinking in Student Affairs A Primer

Developing Creative Thinking in Beginning Design

Developing Creative Thinking in Beginning Design

Learning to think and act creatively is a requisite fundamental aspect of design education for architectural and interior design as well as industrial and graphic design. Development of creative capacities must be encountered early in design education for beginning students to become self-actualized as skillful designers. With chapters written by beginning design instructors Developing Creative Thinking in Beginning Design addresses issues that contribute to deficiencies in teaching creativity in contemporary beginning design programs. Where traditional pedagogies displace creative thinking by placing conceptual abstractions above direct experiential engagement the approaches presented in this book set forth alternative pedagogies that mitigate student fears and misconceptions to reveal the potency of authentic encounters for initiating creative transformational development. These chapters challenge design pedagogy to address such issues as the spatial body phenomenological thinking making as process direct material engagement and its temporal challenges creative decision making and the wickedness of design and the openness of the creative design problem. In doing so this book sets out to give greater depth to first design experiences and more effectively enable the breadth and depth of the teacher–student relationship as a means of helping your students develop the capacity for long-term self-transformation.

Cybernetic Architectures Informational Thinking and Digital Design

Cybernetic Architectures Informational Thinking and Digital Design

For the past 50 years the advancements of technology have equipped architects with unique tools that have enabled the development of new computer-mediated design methods fabrication techniques and architectural expressions. Simultaneously in contemporary architecture new frameworks emerged that have radically redefined the traditional conceptions of design of the built environment and of the role of architects. Cybernetic Architectures argues that such frameworks have been constructed in direct reference to cybernetic thinking a thought model that emerged concurrently with the origins of informatics and that embodies the main assumptions values and ideals underlying the development of computer science. The book explains how the evolution of the computational perspective in architecture has been parallel to the construction of design issues in reference to the central ideas fostered by the cybernetic model. It unpacks and explains this crucial relationship in the work of digital architects between the use of information technology in design and the conception of architectural problems around an informational ontology. This book will appeal to architecture students and scholars interested in understanding the recent transformations in the architectural landscape related to the advent of computer-based design paradigms. | Cybernetic Architectures Informational Thinking and Digital Design
