He is studying designers in the wild like an anthropologist would study an unknown tribe in Africa. One of the subjects of his research is the design process. I always found this an interesting topic and this is what led me to Chimero\u2019s book: it speaks about the design process from a designer's point of view. His insider's view is a feast of recognition. <br><br>What stuck with me the most about his description of the design process is the idea of clear thinking. Chimero has an interesting description of the way he works: he just \u201cshows up\u201d and lets the \u201ccontext speak what it requires\u201d. He says \u201cit\u2019s the designer's job to figure out a way to have the problem show it\u2019s actual self so he can respond to the truth that has emerged.\u201d This is clear thinking: to see the truth about the problem at hand.<\/p><br>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<h4>Philosophy<\/h4>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_raw_code wpb_content_element wpb_raw_html\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>When we start asking why and start thinking about truth we enter into the domain of philosophy. I have always seen design (and other arts) as a visual form of philosophy. One that is more elaborate than traditional philosophy because it not only thinks through words but also through images. Some might call this particular form of philosophy design thinking. When we define design as a branch of philosophy, the next step is to question some of the great thinkers of this world to see what they have to say about design. For me, there are two philosophical texts by Martin Heidegger that define good design.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_raw_code wpb_content_element wpb_raw_html\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>There\u2019s a clear story here. Adding a buffer to a model says this model isn\u2019t perfect, but there\u2019s a science to how we manage the downside of assumptions or variability in the data.<\/p><br>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<h4>The definition of a good website<\/h4>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_raw_code wpb_content_element wpb_raw_html\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>Just like art, design is in constant need of definition. I think the answer to the question of what good design is, defines the designer. So, design is about asking why (so it\u2019s basically philosophy), web design\u2019s aim is to find the truth about the client, the user, and the internet, the truth is best communicated through beauty, to find the truth about your medium you have to forge a deep connection to it<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At the moment we have a professor from the Maastricht University embedded in our design studio.
