- 6. “Circular Economy 2.0” Relevant terms •Economic, profit and experience maximization •Emotional Design •Timeless Design •Empathy •Connection •Change in behavior •Change from consumer to user
- 8. D.Norman & J. Chapman D.Rams & M.Vignelli T.Cooper+ C.VanHemel+ M.Charter U.Tischner Psychological & Emotional Considerations Design Philosophy Considerations Technical Design Considerations Designing for reliability& robustness Designing for repair & maintenance Design for upgradability Designing for product attachment Designing for variability Timeless design Variability, multifunctionality Long life guarantee Re-use and Shared use Nurture experiences Expand product life through attachment Understand human unpredictability Design user-object interdependency Design proper input vs. output relations Design product personality Design to engage the “three levels” Focus on “reflective” and “behavioral” design Design for the “needs” and not the “wants” Get away from trends Discipline your self to follow a design philosophy Don’t design for superficial needs Design for “active convenience” Make it easy to use Awake curiosity and imagination W.Stahel & W.McDonough/ M. Braungart Economic & Environmental Considerations Waste=Food Conscious Material and production process selection & optimization Maximize product enjoyment! Design awareness of delicacy, complexity and interconnectedness of nature Design for human & ecological health Up-cycle Think past, present & future of materials and products Design to recycle your own products Design for eco- effectiveness Design for long term use Make it easy to repair Design to help people, not to incapacitate them Understand users’ complexity
