1st Design Processes reading circle

From today's discussion in the reading circle, we focused on these topics: Openness Multiplicity Placeholder Problem solving Language of Communication The paper concept model is a proposition of a visualization of a design process based on the elements above. In todays discussion we agreed on that it's important to have some kind of idea/problem/brief/goal to work towards but that the process is iterative rather than linear. The blank paper symbolizes the starting point of a design project. The stripes symbolizes the further exploration of the project. The ideas, factors and decisions made take form of the folding, attachment and also subtraction of these stripes. Group members: Nelson Hardie Fanny Carlsson Maren Skyrudsmoen This discussion was part of the reading circle discussing the text: A.Telier, Design Things, Boston: MIT Press, 2011, pp. 15-21.

Today's discussion on Design Methods generated this visualization representing what we found to be most important during a design process. Be open for change. Keep structure in the creative disorder. A method could be anything. Communicate and share your process.
