Design Generation Chapter6
- 1. Chapter 6 Design Generation
- 2. Chapter Objectives Design Types Creative Processes Models Creative Education Foundation Model Modes of Thoughts Types of Barriers to creative Thin inking. Techniques for Generating Alternatives
- 3. Types of Designs Configuration design. Parametric design. Original design
- 4. Configuration Design This deals with the selection and arranging of components to improve performance and reduce size. Example: location of air planes engines, location of shifting mechanism of a two speed wheel chair.
- 5. Parametric Design Deals with varying design parameter to achieve design objectives. Boeing used this approach to design aircrafts.
- 6. Original Design This refers to designs that are substantially different than existing designs. The push button telephone is an example of a sudden major departure from rotary phone.
- 7. Characteristic of Creative Thinking Creative ideas are new combinations of previously unrelated ideas. Creative ideas are new original ideas solving problems in new and original ways. A product of unconscious mind. Elusive ideas.
- 8. Models of Creative Thinking Wallas Model (1926). Preparation : The stage of clarifying and defining the problem. Incubation : The mind is relaxed free the conscious. Illumination : Recognition of the new idea (Eureka) Verification : To check if the idea has merit.
- 9. Fabun Model (1968) Desire : Shock and need to restore equilibrium. Preparation : Clarifying and defining the problem. Manipulation : manipulate ideas. Incubation : Same as Wallas model. Intimation : The feeling you get when you realize you are on the right track. Illumination : Same as in wallas. Verification: Same as Wallas.
- 10. Creative Education Foundation Model Fact finding : Collect facts that may have bearing on the problem. Problem finding : Developing alternative statements of the problem. Idea finding : Where possible solution are first presented. Solution finding : This is the evaluation phase.
- 11. Consolidated Model Exploration : The active and concerted search of new ideas. Incubation : The extended period of relaxation during which conscious effort for addressing the problem is made. Intimation : The resumption of purposeful pursuit combined with the feeling of making progress. Illumination: The breakthrough that produces an attractive new idea.
- 12. Creative Personalities Optimistic Confident Enthusiastic Endorses no perceived solution. Adventures spirit Willing to take risk. Has a good sense of humor
- 13. Modes of Thinking Left brain : Deductive, derivative, Specific, Logical, Hard and Linear. Right brain : Inductive, Integrating, General, Imaginative, Fuzzy and Nonlinear.
- 14. Types of Barriers to Creative Thinking Perceptual Cultural Environmental Emotional Intellectual
- 15. Types of Perceptual Barriers Patterns Boundaries Illusions Lens Meaning.
- 16. Techniques for Generating Alternatives Lateral thinking Do not pursue a design in detail Avoid critiquing any of the concepts. Perseverance Try many times
- 17. Mental Push -Ups Making lists. Word games. Solving puzzles. Magic tricks.
- 18. Procedural Techniques Brain storming. Brain writing. Story boarding. Random simulation. Analogies
