Realizing Designs

As designers i belive we need to detail out design to the most detailed level that it can be. Understanding domans of both the imaginery and the real can allow the existence of a design in the real world.
I asked myself a simple question today " Why do we design?"
To make a change possible. To make what we think is possible...real. To see it work.
To define the rules.

If that is the case, then why do we limit ourselves to just ideating a patricular design solution and simply leaving it at prototype stage. Why dont we take the extra efforts to actually make it realize?
In the information domain there is a general tendency of keeping our hands off when the question "how will it be possible?" comes in to picture.
I belive designing needs to bridge the gap of just visualizing to visualizing in detail.
We as designers have the imagination of connecting cross domains across fields to bring about the possiblity of NEW. But this possiblitiy of new is possible only if we push ourselves outside of our constraints of "i will think only this much" and transform to " I will do the thinking for this thing the work can be done by others"

With a revolution of information flowing across the internet and people connecting easily it becomes an easy access to make things possible your way only if you are able to:
Design in Detail
Communicate this detailed design

In simple terms all i want to say is that ....if u are designing a House ...you should know even the size of the smallest screw that goes in every door. Only then can you make it a complete design of your thinking.
Becoz i believ the guy who first made a Chisel didnt just put his brains to say how it will work. But also knew what material will be the best and how we can reproduce it...
Its about being a Designer + Engineer + Arist...its about being an IMAGINEER...
who doesnt just imagine ...but makes it possible

Criticizers == Designers????

As designers many of us start having a savvy attitude of criticism. I know this is a sensitive topic, and I do not wish to find where and how we get it. But somewhere down the mindset we do feel that everything that we ever see be it a product or a service we tend to want to criticize the existing. Of course it’s a part of our job to find mistakes or to find the problems to solve them. However I think that many of us incline ourselves to the first part (find problems) more and second part( solve them) less. Of whatever design knowledge and experience I have till now I think that what needs to be seen is the latter part of solving problems in environments. An intellectual brain will argue with me that to solve problem we need to identify them. This is also what I would agree that it is not an easy task to identify a problem too considering that problems that are seen may or may not be the real problems. Those who understand systems theory know that the core problems can be anywhere in t...

Fear of being "Not Good"

Image
Human beings grow up in social spaces where the value of " goodness" is extremely hyper rated. This not only leads to humans wanting to conform to the good values around them, but also creates a massive fear of not being good. Ever since childhood we are subjugated to this process of discerning between what is good and what is bad. We are shown role models of ideal behavior and told to follow the paths of the ones that showcase overall good values. Apart from the positive values that this brings us to fit into the social structure of humankind. What really concerns me is the negative effects it brings in. Just to be fitting into a set structure and form of "goodness" we avoid questioning any thoughts beyond it. We also fail to recognize that the very "Goodness" that the world preaches us is relative in nature and changes from place to place and time to time. It then becomes a deep imperative to follow the good spirit just to avoid any ire or repulsio...

On Acheivement and happiness

Image
Happiness is a critical emotion to human lives. It not only motivates the drive to stay alive but also brings in a healthy journey through its pains. But what triggers happiness is as important as the pleasure of enjoying it. Also what matters is when does a being realize he or she is happy? One such state that surely seems to be driving happiness is the feeling of achievement. In most of the cases whenever people achieve something in their lives or atleast they feel they have acheived something they feel happy.There is a sense of victory mixed with a deeper sense of self worth proving the need of existential self over others. Although a very motivational and powerful thing...sense of achievement like many other human feelings is a relative sense. If we were to ask ourselves when does one achieve something? and then...when does someone feel happy about the achievement? Most common achievement realizations can be around social acceptance the process of positive acceptance by th...
