7. What is design not?

8. What is design not?
simply planning
picking a solution
mixing and matching

9. What is design?
You cannot hold a design in your hand. It's not a thing.
It's a process. A system. A way of thinking. (Bob Gill)
Design Thinking is a creative process of thinking
backwards from people, that leads to design of a
service, a product etc., based on the conclusions of the
knowledge gathered in the process. (Pilar Saura)
Do we really need a simple definition of design or
should we accept that design is too complex a matter
to be summarized in less than a book?
(Bryan Lawson)

10. design process: early stages
Imagine. Investigate. Inspire. Ideate. Prototype. Evaluate. Reflect.

CONVERGENT
THINKING

12. Lawson, 2005
Designers ‘play around with ideas to get more
understanding about the problem rather than focus
on just finding a solution.’ Maher & Poon, 1996

13. a design-thinking approach…
A MINDSET
not a method
about focusing on the
learning experience,
not the technology
creating something
new
Iterative not linear
Innovative not procedural
learning design is…
on-purpose
co-created

18. Problem-finding
user research, personas
journey mapping, empathy mapping
Ideation/ conceptualisation
using analogy
Consider/test alternatives (what if) against
guiding principles
techniques

19. Concepts are frameworks within which we can design solutions to
problems/ challenges.
They can be seen as a coherent set of guiding principles, which
inform us at every step of the design process.
Use of a model to direct the decision-making process.
They are development of our overall design intention.
They should NOT be seen as static and unchangeable, but rather
as flexible and malleable approaches.
They guides us to make decisions about any aspect of the design.
To prioritize design issues that have to be dealt with (limits design
decisions).

21. The value of the concept analogy/metaphor
guiding the decision-making process

22. clear concept is a useful design tool

23. Ideation exercise
Use keywords and sketching to…
- Imagine your assigned experience
and thoroughly describe it
- Name a learning intervention that
matches the nature of the experience
- Describe the learning intervention,
using the analogy as concept
