Design practice can address open, complex, dynamic, networked challenges
Challenges are now open, complex, dynamic, and networked and require a fundamentally different way of addressing them. Dorst suggests five key design practices that constitute “lessons from design practice that we must learn from if we want to deal with open, complex, dynamic, and networked problem situations.” These five practices “are the building blocks for the frame creation model.”[1]
- Coevolution – iterative development of both the problem space and solution space.
- Developing problem situations
- Creating frames
- Exploring themes
- Fostering a discourse
