HKDI INSPIRE* DESIGN THINKING 2019DESIGN THINKING IS A BROAD TERM
GIVEN TO A SET OF METHODS FOR USER-CENTRED INNOVATION STRATEGIES THAT
DESIGNERS ADOPT DURING THE PROCESS OF DESIGNING.
While this process of creative problem solving has been widely used
within the realm of design, it also has high relevance in other
disciplines and its gradually being adopted outside of the design
profession. Design Thinking serves to stimulate open questions and the
continuous search for different creative avenues beyond boundaries of
disciplines and contexts, with a view to promoting positive change in
society.
Further to the success of "HKDI inspire* Design Thinking 2018" held
last year, HKDI will launch another series of design thinking master
lectures and workshops that engage students, teachers, interested
professionals and the general public in September and October 2019. In
this year's "HKDI inspire* Design Thinking 2019", HKDI will again
endeavour and advance the application of Design Thinking as a
transferable skill for solving problems of all kinds.

Master Lecture - Topic: _Beyond empathy, designerly way of thinking_
Super-aged society means there is a greater need for public and
statutory authorities to work with older people in planning future
services in order to ensure communities are fit for all ages. As a
DESIGN METHODOLOGY SCHOLAR AND EDUCATOR, Dr Lee advocate DESIGNERLY
WAY OF THINKING AND DOING TO IMMERSE OURSELVES IN THE LIVING REALITY
OF OTHERS, i.e. not just DESIGN _with _the others but
DESIGN _as _the others. It is beyond empathy and focusing design as
a creative practice/discipline and more important as citizen’s right
and making every aspect of daily life a holistic celebration of
autonomy.
Speaker: Dr Yanki Lee, Co-founder of Enable Foundation

MASTER LECTURE - TOPIC: _MEDISIGN: HUMAN-CENTRED DESIGN FOR COMPLEX
SOCIOTECHNICAL CARE SYSTEMS_
To guarantee quality and affordability of healthcare in the long term
new forms of patient care are needed, such as active participation of
patients in their care path and networked multidisciplinary care.
Designing and implementing these new forms of care require a holistic
systemic approach towards healthcare. Designers, with their creativity
and systemic, human-centered design thinking skills, can play an
essential role here.
This lecture addresses the tools and methods of Medisign and the
educational principles applied. It also addresses how to collaborate
with (big) companies as a university on these topics and present a
structured way to do so, connecting different courses with different
questions from companies.
Speaker:
* Prof Dr Ir Richard Goossens, Full Professor of Physical
Ergomonics, Delft University of Technology
* Dr Ir Marijke Melles, Associate Professor of Faculty of
Industrial Design Engineering, Delft University of Technology

20 SEPTEMBER 2019, FRIDAY ︳2PM - 6PM
WORKSHOP - TOPIC: _PATIENT JOURNEY MAPPING_
In this workshop participants will learn creating patient journeys and
using them in design processes. A patient journey is a graphic
representation of all stages a patient goes through during their
illness and treatment. The different actors the patient meets during
this journey are part of the patient journey and their interactions
are described in so-called touchpoints. Redesigning these touchpoints
plays a key role in improving healthcare services. Patient journeys
take a sociotechnical systems perspective on care (instead of focusing
on singular touchpoints), which is essential to understand overall
patient experience as well as the impact of new products and services
on care systems.

* Prof Dr Ir Richard Goossens, Full Professor of Physical
Ergomonics, Delft University of Technology
* Dr Ir Marijke Melles, Associate Professor of Faculty of
Industrial Design Engineering, Delft University of Technology

MASTER LECTURE - TOPIC: _ARCHITECTURE THROUGH THE AESTHETICS OF
DISORDER_
There is beauty in disorder, contaminations, putrefactions. How can
something be advanced if it is not confronted, through striving to
achieve that balance and trying to break that perfect ideal of
imagination, innovation, and originality? In this lecture, Mr Alonso
will reveal his extensive journey into the new logics of pollution
and construction of structural cultural instability; to radicalize the
agenda of the aesthetics of form and architecture, using the
possibilities of artificial and natural interaction. This is in tune
with the belief that the sole purpose of architecture is to imagine
and challenge the culture of the discipline from and through all
possible angles.
Speaker: Hernan Diaz Alonso, Director, Southern California Institute
of Architecture / SCI-Arc

WORKSHOP - TOPIC: _INTERACTIVE DIORAMA_
1st Session: 24 September 2019, Tuesday ︳9:30am - 12:30pm
2nd Session: 24 September 2019, Tuesday ︳2:30pm - 5:30pm
3rd Session: 25 September 2019, Wednesday ︳2pm - 6pm
*THIS WORKSHOP INCLUDE THREE SESSIONS, WHICH ARE RELATED TO EACH
OTHER. PARTICIPANTS HAVE TO ATTEND ALL THESE THREE SESSIONS ON 24 AND
25 SEPTEMBER 2019 IF THEY HAVE REGISTERED THIS WORKSHOP OF
"INTERACTIVE DIORAMA".
The workshop will be devoted to designing and making an app in the
Unity game engine. Participants will be working with 3d models, custom
shaders and c# scripting in order to produce an interactive software
‘diorama’. The aim of the workshop is to explore the conceptual
and aesthetic potential of simulations for architectural design, and
construct new design interfaces and tools.
Participants will explore the diorama format as a possible extension
of traditional architectural mediums of representation. The ultimate
goal of the format is the creation of a fully fledged, self contained,
interactive micro world.

* Damjan Jovanovic, Design Studio Faculty, Southern California
Institute of Architecture / SCI-Arc

Relationships, Southern California Institute of Architecture /

MASTER LECTURE - TOPIC: _FARMING 4.0: INNOVATION FOR A GREEN FUTURE_
Land desertification, food crisis and food safety have been prevalent
global problems affecting human wellbeing. Mr Gordon Tam,
designer-turned-entrepreneur, founded Farm66 to develop urban
aquaponics farming as an innovative solution for Hong Kong, a densely
populated city short of local food supply. Through revitalising
abandoned buildings and innovating technologies, urban aquaponics
farming is made possible as an environmental-friendly eco-system, free
of external contamination such as heavy metals, pesticides,
fertilizers, extreme weathers and natural disasters.
Farm66 is a successful case in many facets – business, science,
horticulture, culinary, urban redevelopment, sustainability etc.
Speaker: Gordon Tam, Founder & CEO of Farm 66

WORKSHOP - TOPIC: _XR CASE STUDIES_
This workshop will be based around virtual reality and augmented
reality and its application to a number of real and hypothetical
applications. Participants will be encouraged to discuss (in small
groups) the application of the technology to a number of proposed
problem areas, with a view to a good understanding of the
appropriateness of these emerging technologies for varying real world
problems.
Speaker: Prof Paul Chapman, Head of School, School of Simulation
and Visualisation, The Glasgow School of Art

_MASTER LECTURE - TOPIC: VIRTUAL REALITY: TEMPORARY DISTRACTION OR
REAL OPPORTUNITY?_
VR has been around for decades but recent technical advances have
caused a huge surge in popularity within the last 24 months. Given the
huge investment in VR by Facebook, Nokia, Microsoft and Samsung it’s
imperative that we are all ‘VR aware’.
This lecture will present an unbiased review of this new technology.
It will explain and clarify the benefits and problems associated with
these technologies and will consider in detail the critical success
factors for implementing VR projects exploring why some have been
successful whilst others have failed, through a sharing of the state
of the art XR projects taking place at the School of Simulation and
Visualisation.
Speaker: Prof Paul Chapman, Head of School, School of Simulation
and Visualisation, The Glasgow School of Art
