DESIGN THINKING~the sketch~

Design Thinking is an approach used for practical and creative problem-solving. It is based heavily on the methods and processes that designers use , but it has actually evolved from a range of different fields — including architecture, engineering and business. Design Thinking can also be applied to any field; It doesn’t necessarily have to be design-specific.

WHAT DESIGN THINKING REPRESENTS

• Design Thinking is extremely user-centric.
• It focuses on humans first and foremost, seeking to understand people’s needs and come up with effective solutions to meet those needs.
• It is what we call a solution-based approach to problem-solving.

The 5 Phases of Design Thinking

Future Tablethe self-cleaning table

• First, we drew the guide lines for the top and the legs
• All the lines should meet in two perspective points: one on the left and one on the right side of the paper

1. The guide lines

• With a ruller, we accentuated the lines for the legs and for the top.

2. Accentuating the legs and the top

• We started adding dimension: we accentuated the background table legs and the table top, and we added volume on the sides.

3. 3D dimensions

4. Device drawing

• It is placed on the ceiling
• It is both a dirt detector and a kitchen lamp

The Dirt Detector

This is a two in one gadget. It can provide the room with white light by putting a light bulb in the middle of it. There are also some secondary light bulbs on the corners that provide the room with UV light. The UV light lights the table and you can see clearly the dirt on it.

Dirt Detector

The Self Cleaner It has 2 components:

• a magnet that goes under the table
• a sponge with wireless controls on the top

By pressing the button in the middle of this device, it can clean the whole table. It also has a magnet under the table that can gather all the things on it that have metal in them. The device is wireless and it works on batteries.

Self Cleaner

• It is an hourglass-shaped device
• It has speakers inside of it
• It can be activated only by your voice!

The Voice Controler

It can be activated by saying: Hey, Alexa!... This device can stream music, control gadgets (phones, tablets or laptops) or can answer questions by using the Internet and Google. It can also make "to do lists": set alarms, stream podcasts, play audiobooks and provide weather, trafic, sports, or other real time information.
