what is concept design? - Hugh Graham Creative - 0 views

  •  
    see esp. Transformational Deisgn Transformational Design: 1) Defining and redefining the brief: Whereas traditionally designers are brought in to follow a brief, the transformation design approach involves an analysis of the wider implications of a design problem. 2) Collaboration between disciplines: Recognizing that complex problems need to be addressed through a multI-faceted approach, we rely on collaboration for results. 3) Employing participatory design techniques: Advocating bottom-up design methodology - involving users and front-line workers in the design process. Making the design process more accessible to 'non-designers'. 4) Building capacity not dependency: Transformational design seeks to leave behind not only a designed solution, but the tools, skills and organizational capacity to respond to change. 5) Designing beyond traditional solutions & 'systems thinking'. Applying design skills in non-traditional territories, and also creating non-traditional design outputs. 'Systems thinking' is the ability to consider an issue holistically rather than reductively. 6) Creating fundamental change: Transformational design aims high: to fundamentally transform systems and cultures.

Design and Evaluation of Designer Feedback System in Design for ManufacturabilityProcee... - 0 views

  • Information abstraction and modality significantly affect its interpretation, so it is important that feedback given to the design engineers should be in the language understandable to them and is able to convey necessary information with minimal interpretation. An experiment has been designed to evaluate performance and workload differences between expert and novice design engineers when they conduct design tasks in feedback modalities.

    This seems to be a designed system of feedback for designers as to the manufacturability of designs. The Three Dimensional Integrated Feedback System "3DIF" -- important for the learning and adaption process of responsive design (my term)

Moving at the Speed of Creativity | Social networking sites (SNS), Convivial Technologi... - 0 views

  • For SNS to be used in convivial ways, I contend we need to exert healthy and frequent doses of “digital discipline.”

    This blog entry has less content but poses an interesting question about Social network systems (SNS) as Convivial Technology --  posted in 2011, the question seems out of date and obvious, but the highlighted segment, "For SNS to be used in convivial ways, I contend we need to exert healthy and frequent doses of "digital discipline," suggests that non-convivial tech can be transformed into convivial tech with intentionality and discipline, and vice versa.

A Survey of Design Philosophies, Models, Methods and SystemsProceedings of the Institut... - 0 views

  • Over the last 40 years, many approaches to design have been put forward by various researchers, designers and engineers, both in academia and industry, on how design ought to and might be carried out. These proposals on design have tended towards what has come to be regarded as design philosophies, design models and design methods. The thesis of this paper is to discuss various aspects of generic research in design, within the above classifications in the light of the work that has been done in the last four decades. Discussions will focus on various definitions of design, design theory and methodology, the nature and variety of design problems, design classifications, philosophies, models, methods and systems.
