Practical! Design Thinking to Cultivate Creativity June 13, 2023, Satoshi Izumi (Author) Price: 2900 yen In a two-week intensive course, students with no knowledge or experience create a folding chair unlike any other in the world - many students apply to this highly challenging course, taught by the author, an expert in folding furniture, every year. What is required is not only the novelty of the form. How it opens and closes, how it stores, and how it can be made into a chair that can actually be sat on. The creativity of the structure is what is questioned in the theme of "folding chairs." Moreover, if you are going to create a new work that has never been done before, many difficulties will stand in the way. Even the elite students of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the most difficult art university in China, repeatedly hit walls, get stuck, and go through trial and error in furniture making, which they have never experienced before. How do they clear such challenges? The author proposes "Izumi-style Design Thinking," which applies the methodology of "design thinking," which has been attracting attention in recent years, to the field of product design education, and teaches it to students. From guidance on idea creation, such as the importance of historical understanding and research, and extensive reading, to models, 3D model verification, actual production, and even commercialization of some works, the curriculum and its theory, as well as abundant examples, introduce the real process of students creating works from scratch. This is a book that is a practical example of design education, as well as a methodology of product design, and how to teach it, and how to cultivate creativity.
