This is design
In design, many methods, techniques, and procedures will help designers meet the equally many challenges of complex design and problem-solving processes. In this project, we launched an exploration into the different design methods, tools, and tasks; Studying the differences and similarities between each category, then, collecting, understanding and defining each method, tool, and task. This exploration would then be visualized, first as flow maps of the design process with all its sub-headings and sub-processes, secondly as miniature model visualizations, and finally as a culminating space installation.
Through research on design processes we investigated the ecology of design and research, where they intersect, where they conflict, and where they excel – exploring design methods/tools/processes, and generic methods/tools/processes simultaneously.
We would constantly challenge our findings and assumptions by testing them against three hypothetical case studies.In the case of our team, our task is to the research of the process and correlated methods of Office Chair.
in the Second phase, we focussed on the materialization of the research and discussion into three-dimensional visualizations, culminating into a 1:1 installation exhibited in the 2016 Parcour – end of year exhibition.
The IDEATE phase of the design process is visualized in a playful room by a big black cube and four colorful strings passing through it to experience the process of IDEATE.
The random strings in four colors ( red, yellow, blue and green) come from the EXPLORE phase representing all the information flows, and the paths stand for the process of ideas generating which are visualized in the knits weaved by these colorful strings.
