The urbanphenomena visualogue is collaborating with Dar Al-Hekma’s Creative Center to provide students with a series of lectures on design and creativity. The first lecture, entitled “Design Thinking” was presented by design director at Urbanphenomena, Majed Munshi.
Design Thinking is a non linear human centric process that designers use. This style of thinking helps in developing creative ideas and reaching innovative solutions to the root cause of problems. It often results in new product innovation, improved process optimization and transform teams. Students benefit greatly from learning the methods of this approach and applying it to their academic careers. Because of it’s human centric approach, this process applies to all walks of life, social activities, organizations and industries.
