The fast development of artificial intelligence in modern society facilitates the needs of creative education. Design thinking,a innovative thinking frame,is benefit to cultivate children’s creativity. However ,little research has clearly explain how to use design thinking to improve creativi-ty.Therefore,this study aimed at integrating creativity and design thinking into STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics), and thereby cultivate students’ prob-lem solving and creative ability. Firstly, 151 school-age children participated in the study and fin-ished the creativity tests. Second, dimensions of creativity (e.g., adventure, curiosity, and flexibility) that were significantly related to academic performance were abstracted as core design elements …

Over the last decades, design research and design practice have become intertwined in a new way and design study programmes have to react to these changes, providing students with the ability to link their creative practice with scientific research. Design education has to develop solutions for this new demand and support these profound changes of the discipline itself by addressing these issues from the very beginning of design education on, the BA-level. In order to better understand what the problems are when carrying out research in design, this paper aims to contribute to the topic of the integration of research …

Professionalization Of The Discipline Of Interior Architecture: Development Of A ‘Ready To Use Concept’ To Intertwine Research And Education, Katelijn Quartier
Learn X Design Conference Series
Within the discipline of interior architecture, this paper takes the example of the specific domain of retail design to illustrate the interrelatedness between research and education at our faculty. We will elaborate on how we came to develop a ‘ready to use concept’, con-taining design guidelines and tools, that support students in making informed design deci-sions. As such, based on several workshops and an extensive literature review, eight tools were developed alongside 127 design guidelines. The tools and guidelines are inherently part of the retail design studio which is taught by a practitioner and an academic trained de-signer in order …
Challenges Of Downscaling And Upscaling In Human-Centered Design, Simon Nestler, Sven Quadflieg, Klaus Neuburg
Challenges Of Downscaling And Upscaling In Human-Centered Design, Simon Nestler, Sven Quadflieg, Klaus Neuburg
Nordes Conference Series
Design has power – to improve lives, to empower people and to break down barriers. Successful design requires (besides many other tasks) a comprehensive analysis and deep understanding of the target audience. However, current design approaches, for instance established in the field of Human Centered Design, lead to multiple biases: Design neglects a multitude of needs when it uses downscaling to make complex target groups manageable. Downscaling must therefore disproportionately consider special needs within the design process – and upscaling must be able to compensate these biases again. The approach presented in this paper delivers three benefits: Conflicts between general …
Scaling Experiments In Urban Space – An Exploratory Framework, Eva Knutz, Kathrina Dankl
Scaling Experiments In Urban Space – An Exploratory Framework, Eva Knutz, Kathrina Dankl
Nordes Conference Series
In this article, we outline an exploratory framework that attempts to capture different types of scaling practices in urban space. "Scaling" in this context is understood as a concept that involves a temporary intervention in public space that negotiates agency among human and nonhuman actors. The aim of this framework is to assist curators and researchers in conceptualizing site-specific interventions or exhibitions in urban contexts.
