从视觉思维到设计思维——设计思维溯源研究

FROM VISUAL THINKING TO DESIGN THINKING—THE TRACEABILITY STUDY OF DESIGN THINKING

以“从视觉思维到设计思维”为主线,进行设计思维溯源研究,探询设计思维的发展脉络,发现设计思维的核心动力,为设计的未来发展提供启示。文章以美国设计思维理论家罗伯特·麦金(Robert H.McKim)的研究为线索,探究设计思维的形成源起和发展,论述罗伯特·麦金和鲁道夫·阿恩海姆视觉思维之间的关联;并从概念的发展、视觉思维与设计思维的关系、设计思维的形成等三个层面分析“以人为本”的观念前提下视觉思维融入设计思维的途径。设计思维的理论基础来源于视觉思维,进一步引发了注重调动人的感官和情感等作为发现和解决问题的思维工具,且其最终的目的是激发设计者的创造力。以“回溯-前进”为方法和目标,呈现设计思维的核心价值所在,即源于知觉与思维的协调和开发。

"From Visual Thinking to Design Thinking"is the main line of the study to trace the origins of design thinking,to explore the development of design thinking,to discover the core dynamics of design thinking,and to provide inspiration for the future development of design.Based on the research of Robert McKim,an American design thinking theorist,this paper explores the origin and development of design thinking and discusses the relationship between Robert McKim and Rudolf Arnheim's visual thinking.And from the development of concept,the relationship between visual thinking and design thinking,the formation of design thinking and so on three levels to analyze the way of visual thinking into design thinking under the premise of"people-oriented"concept.The theoretical basis of design thinking is derived from visual thinking,which has led to a focus on engaging the human senses and emotions as a tool for identifying and solving problem,with the ultimate aim of inspiring creativity in designers.With the method and goal of"backwardforward",the paper presents the core value of design thinking,which is derived from the coordination and development of perception and thinking.
