Benefits
Learn design innovation using a technique called Design Games and a real problem situation. After experimenting with various design tools and methods, students will reflect, analyze, and evaluate their work. We will show how participants can create designs that are communicative and efficient while fostering innovation.

Origins
Based on work at the Space Planning and Organization Research Group (SPORG) at MIT and the User Centered Design Group at Danfoss.

Features

  • learn tools and methods for design innovation
  • review the latest research
  • develop a theory-based approach

Audience
Anyone working in design.

Presentation
Interactive, including two exercises, group discussion, and case study reviews.

Instructors
Charles Kukla is a usability consultant with over twenty years of design and engineering experience, combining chemical and mechanical engineering skills with psychology, anthropology, and learning theory to support the design of systems. William Porter is the Leventhal Professor of Architecture and Planning at MIT and the Director of the Space Planning and Organization Research Group (SPORG). SPORG is exploring the interdependence between physical space and organizational behavior and capability. It draws from the heritage of the fields of architecture, organizational development, and computational methods. Thomas Binder is a Research Coordinator in the Space and Virtuality Studio at Malm� University. Jacob Buur is manager of the User Centered Design Group at Danfoss. He has won international recognition for his research into the methodological basis for developing mechatronic products.
