Design Thinking And Thinking Design

The "design" we said today is no longerthe narrow concept of "design" 10 years ago, and is constantly developing to a general diversified trend, the focus of design extends from the "visible" to "invisible" level. The design categories that we can distinguish today is not only plane, and products and other known entity designs, but also includes the "invisible" design of service design, experience design, interactive design, thinking mode design, make the existing form of design more abundant. This change is closely related to the change of human and society. Technology innovation has also brought a new round of challenges to designers in changing our world, and the role of designer changes from the original "aesthetic practice" to "design thinkers" now. When a country’s economic activity center turns from industrial manufacturing to high-tech creation and service, innovation has become a survival strategy, so, how does design become the driving force to promote social innovation? This is the thought that we must face today.This paper starts from Design Thinking, sorts out and extends the basic concept of "design thinking" from two lines of evolution of design history and difference between eastern and western thinking, so as to form the "new design thinking" value with "design" as the driving force and the "design chain" of interaction for social ecological system. The discussed topic is current design activity and change of design function, to intervene in social, economic, education, behavior, technology, ethics and other external order with design as an antenna, analyze the intrinsic link between the design motivation, ideas, rules, logic, variables and design philosophy, expand the value of design thinking, become the view of thinking and methodology with the complementary of the East and the West. Make design to concern more about the value of human and nature, achieve the harmonious and orderly development between man and nature, man and society. I think this is the new era meaning of design thinking, namely maintaining the observation and thinking of the world in the name of design, better using the design thinking in China’s current development environment. Making design not only to be a tool to enhance the added value of product, but more the power to promote the continuous progress of human society, this is the new meaning of design thinking.
