Question 15

REMEMBER

Answer 15

Deciding an approach and taking a stance means abandoning something. so I think there is no single, universal approach. For this reason, Designers need to have various design approaches in drawers, and use appropriate one or combine multiple approaches according to the project’s situation and phase.

Question 16

REMEMBER:

Answer 16

The ability to envision a future scenario and visualize it is the common designer’s capability regardless of which design approach is applied. Input information varies project by project. However, designers need to convey how people’s experiences and values change with a lively resolution. I think this capability will continue to be a core skill that will not change even if the definition of the design is expanded.
