Frascara, Jorge (author), Gardien, Paul (author), Noël, Guillermina (author), Rosenberg, Daniel (author), Stappers, P.J. (author), Wilde, Danielle (author)Design skills and methods have been at the conceptual foundation of the design discipline(s) for at least the past half century. Over this period, design has also changed, focusing on new outcomes, serving new goals, and addressing different scales and broader application areas. On the one hand, there is a large set of methods and tools; on the...conference paper 2024

Zhu, C. (author), Klapwijk, R.M. (author), Silva-Ordaz, Miroslava (author), Spandaw, J.G. (author), de Vries, M.J. (author)Spatial thinking is ubiquitous in design. Design education across all age groups encompasses a range of spatially challenging activities, such as forming and modifying mental representations of ideas, and visualizing the scenarios of design prototypes being used. While extensive research has examined the cognitive processes of spatial...journal article 2024

Sonneveld, L.T. (author), Klapwijk, R.M. (author), Stappers, P.J. (author)Spatial ability is malleable and belongs in the preschool. For preschoolers, many analytical activities with one correct answer such as tangram have been developed. Less is known about employing open-ended design assignments to creatively practice spatial thinking. Little attention has been paid to the mutual qualitative differences between...journal article 2024

Brinkman, Geert (author), van Buuren, Arwin (author), Voorberg, William (author), van der Bijl-Brouwer, M. (author)Public organizations are increasingly turning to design thinking to address wicked societal issues, enhance innovation, and improve services. However, in general, public organizations do not provide the most receptive context for design thinking. To be applied effectively, design thinking requires sufficient tolerance for uncertainty,...journal article 2023

Buso, A. (author), McQuillan, H.L. (author), Voorwinden, M. (author), Karana, E. (author)In this paper, we explore how textile-form thinking, i.e., the simultaneous design and construction of the textile and form, can be leveraged as a strategy to embrace and unlock the performative potential of woven interactive textiles to building towards more intuitive interactions with woven interactive textiles in our everyday. First, we...conference paper 2023

Hoftijzer, J.W. (author), Carelsberg, H.M. (author), Sypesteyn, M. (author)There is a growing interest in the discipline of design sketching and drawing. Whereas its origin lies in the sketching and presenting of tangible (industrially designed) products, the discipline has, since approximately 2010, extended in various ways, along various dimensions. Various authors have addressed and discussed the most prominent...conference paper 2023

Chandrasegaran, R.S.K. (author), Salah, Almila Akdag (author), Lloyd, P.A. (author)Analysing transcripts of design activity typically involve either close reading or manual coding of data, which limits the amount of data that can be analysed. In contrast, we explore a machine-learning based linguistic analysis tool called Empath to identify patterns of reasoning in design talk. The data we use derives from the Design...journal article 2023

Cash, Philip (author), Gonçalves, M. (author), Dorst, Kees (author)Designers often face situations where the only way forward is through the exploration of possibilities. However, there is a critical disconnect between understanding of how designer's think and act in such situations. We address this disconnect by proposing and testing (via protocol analysis) the cognitive co-evolution model. Our model...journal article 2023
