Think Outside

We often talk about design in terms of end products, but sometimes it’s better to think about design as a process, as a way of thinking. Design thinking is becoming increasingly recognised as a powerful process for creatively exploring the challenges of the 21st century, beyond the traditional realm of designing products.

The Think Outside series invites local, national and international design thinkers to contemplate a ‘wicked problem’ outside their area of expertise, offering new and unexpected solutions for discussion.

We’re curious to explore what happens when powerful minds are challenged to think outside their comfort zone and apply their way of thinking in new contexts.

The provocation:

17 Sep  Society: How might we design out homelessness?
15 Oct   Environment: How might we design a model of sustainable eco-tourism?
5 Nov    Economy: How might we design a more ethical and sustainable economic system?
