Design thinking is a way of thinking, with several specific steps, which can be aimed at different projects and people. There is a metaphor that I often mention when I introduce it to others: design thinking is like a cookbook.
It will tell you the steps of cooking, the time of cooking and so on. But everyone can make different things with it, which can have different flavors, different raw materials and ingredients. If you follow this recipe carefully, it will generally not be too bad.
? The design thinking steps of a design school are as follows:
1, demand search.
2. Brainstorm.
3. Prototyping.
4. test.
Design thinking was first put forward in:
As early as 1973, Robert McKim talked about the importance of visualization in the design process in his book Experience in Visual Thinking. Then in the 1980s and 1990s, he was a professor at Stanford University and a famous American designer.
Design educator Rolf A. Faste? (1943–2003) brought Mckim's theory to Stanford University, where he established the Stanford Design Joint Project (also the previous life of D.School) and has been a director. Unfortunately, he died in 2003 and missed the completion of D.School.
Later, in 1987, Dean Peter Rowe of Harvard School of Design wrote a book called Design Thinking, which described the design methodology used by architects and urban planners in design. That's the word design thinking.
