9789063695859: Design. Think. Make. Break. Repeat.: Revised edition

Synopsis

Revised edition: 20 additional methods, three new case studies and a new chapter to introduce life-centred design. This book introduces the reader to the changing role of design as a way of thinking and a framework for solving complex problems and achieving systemic change.

This book introduces the reader to the changing role of design as a way of thinking and a framework for solving complex problems and achieving systemic change. It documents 80 methods that cover all stages of a design process, providing actionable guidance for applying the methods across a range of projects. The methods are complemented by seven case studies to demonstrate their application in different domains, from designing interfaces for autonomous vehicles to addressing health and wellbeing. Free templates and resources, available at designthinkmakebreakrepeat.com, make this a great resource for design educators as well as practitioners leading workshops in their organisation or looking for inspiration to transform their practice.

In this revised edition, the authors look beyond the human-centred design paradigm and provide an introduction to life-centred design. This extended focus is reinforced through design methods for considering the broader ecosystem in which products and services are used, including the use of natural resources, ethical concerns and the long-term impact of design decisions.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Revised edition: 20 additional methods and a new chapter to introduce humanity-centred design

This handbook documents 80 methods used in design innovation projects leading to the design of new products or services. It is the first publication to bring together methods, tools and case studies that involve multiple disciplines and perspectives – from product and service design to interaction and user experience design. In this revised edition, the authors look beyond the human-centred design paradigm and include perspectives from humanity-centred design. This extended focus introduces readers to design methods for considering the broader ecosystem in which products and services are used, including the use of natural resources, ethical concerns and the long-term impact of design decisions.

'Design.Think.Make.Break.Repeat.' addresses the needs of anyone interested in deploying design thinking academically or operationally inside their organisation or community. With design thinking becoming an increasingly valued skillset for solving complex problems, there is a growing demand for design-based skills in the workplace. The book offers an easily accessible overview of the design thinking process along with a wide range of methods that can be applied across many different areas and contexts.
