Spiral Dynamics and the Israel/Palestine Conflict (Don Beck) from Integral Life on Vimeo.
I’d like everybody to notice how Don Beck talks about design in this video.
As you might now I like to talk about Spiral Dynamics and how it can work as a perspective on design problems.
Based on this quite high level idea of design that Don Beck expresses here,
lets talk about strategic design
lets talk about complex design
lets talk about the role of the designer and the processes applied
The designer is often the person who walks away when the stuff’s ready to be made. The designer is the planner, the thinker, the investigator, but not the bricklayer.
And concerning prcess facilitation the designer can no longer be only the expert that is asked to give the answer – then walks away to think in the studio and finally comes back with the answer. And when that’s no longer the case – are we really talking about designers here – or are we talking about some other form of practice?
