Design Works Engineering’s Post

Nobody noticed but I skipped last Monday's #FUTUREMONDAY. This Monday, I’m steering to THE FUTURE OF DESIGN. It's important to say, that this is only ONE SPECULATION I made as part of a discussion about Design being Under Attack: From Crisis to Reinvention. For those keen on a deeper dive, you're welcome to explore the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dR9W5xfE These speculations collectively illustrate a future of design that is deeply intertwined with technological advancements, ecological responsibility, strategic foresight, and a renewed appreciation for craft / artisanal value, signalling a significant transformation in how design is approached and valued. Share your thoughts and let's dive into a discussion about the potential transformation in the design landscape. #FUTUREMONDAY #DesignFuture #EcologicalDesign #TechnologicalAdvancements #Craftsmanship

Those aiming to innovate through consistent processes — ones that not only 'create the new' but also ensure the implementation of instruments and a culture sustaining #innovation — since the mid-2010s will undoubtedly recall the challenges compared to recent years. During this time, we have introduced Design — and, of course, the designer — as a crucial team's element in distincts corporate areas, mainly to develop Products and Services, resulting in a significant leap, primarily in adaptability, customization and accuracy, leading to #efficiency and economic growth. And what about the coming years? With the vast technological arsenal available, applied to #AI, #Biotechnology, and hyperconnected #Ecosystems, how must design support us in building the next decade? I share this excellent piece written by Juliana Proserpio from Echos Desirable Futures, offering relevant insights into tomorrow and pathways to shape it. https://lnkd.in/dR9W5xfE

Sometimes, we need to slow down and enjoy the ride. In the fast-paced world of design and architecture, it's easy to get caught up in deadlines and client demands. However, taking a moment to pause can bring fresh perspectives and renewed creativity. When we give ourselves space to breathe, we can see the bigger picture, appreciate our progress, and find inspiration in unexpected places. Slowing down doesn't mean losing momentum; it means gaining clarity and purpose. Let's embrace the journey, celebrate small wins, and remember that the best ideas often come when we take time to enjoy the ride. #DesignLife #Architecture #CreativeJourney #WorkLifeBalance #Mindfulness #Inspiration #SlowDownAndEnjoyTheRide

‘Is it kind?’ Like us, the motto of this year’s World Design Day puts people at the centre. This means that the well-being of the users, those affected by the design, is at the centre. In our ‘Luruper Höfe’ project, the formal and functional design aims to guide visitors to their destination. To this end, overview maps and signposts are distributed throughout the neighbourhood. #neuesquartier⁠ #quartiersentwicklung⁠ #projektentwicklung⁠ #projectdevelopment #worlddesignday #weltdesigntag #studiogourdin #uniquewayfindingstystems #wemanageorientation #projektmanagement #projektsteuerung #projectmanagement #immobilie #newwork
