Design Thinking Critique
Rylander Eklund, A., Navarro Aguiar, U., & Amacker, A. (2022). Design thinking as
sensemaking: Developing a pragmatist theory of practice to (re) introduce sensibility.Journal of Product Innovation Management,39(1), 24-43.
The article addresses the challenge of understanding design thinking by going beyond the aspect of problem-solving. It focuses on going deeper into the cultural and experiential qualities of design thinking, which are often overlooked in the literature.
The article asks: how can design thinking be conceptualized beyond a purely cognitive activity? It also asks: What is the role of sensibility in design thinking, and how is it developed and nurtured? How can a pragmatist theory of practice provide a deeper understanding of design thinking?
The studys impact is that it moves the perspective on design thinking from problem-solving to creativity, sensemaking, imagination, and improvisation. The goal here is to give it a more holistic approach. The researchers use a theoretical approach rooted in a pragmatist theory of practice and the studio culture from which designers' creative practice developed.
First, the article's emphasis on design thinking as more than just a cognitive, problem-solving activity aligns with Lesson 4's discussion on the importance of creativity and innovation in problem-solving. Second, its focus on imagination and sensibility resonates with the lesson's discussion on the importance of creativity in problem-solving and design. Third, the article's critique of the separation of design "thinking" from the practice of designing mirrors the lesson's emphasis on the interconnectedness of analytical and creative thinking in the engineering design process.
It also focuses on the cultural and experiential qualities of design thinking, so it could benefit from a more explicit discussion on human-centered design, as highlighted in Lesson 4, as understanding the human perspective is crucial for ensuring the desirability of a product or process.
Finally, its use of a pragmatist theory of practice would be more beneficial if it showed how this theoretical approach translates into practical applications, especially in management settings, as discussed in the lesson.
Build Method Conflicting Issues in Design Build Methods: FAR 36.209 and 10 USC 2862 There are clear issues between design builds and how they are treated in regards to federal law and how the architectural industry uses them in recent industry trends. A number of conflicting elements makes the process of creating design builds difficult for architectural firms, forcing many to have to go through the process of getting special authorization
Telecommunications Network In an effort to provide better care for its patients, arises the need to design a network able to support a new multi-location dental care practice. In this report, we will provide a clear set of requirements for the network solution, and then identify the information that is to be protected as well as their related security requirements. Also, we will identify the types of network components, devices

Future Food lust advertising design: Applying the concepts of 'luxuria' and 'chastity' When comparing cars such as Hummer and the Prius, the contrast between the two brand identities seems obvious. One is a large, gas-guzzling vehicle that denotes the purchaser's wealth. The Prius is a small, snub-nosed vehicle that apparently proclaims the user's interest in environmental sustainability. However, beneath the surface, there are even more complex issues about how the vehicles
Part 1 1. Explain the difference between the terms factors and treatments. Give an example Within an experimental setting, the term factor which is also referred to as an independent variable is a variable that is explanatory and can usually be manipulated by the one conducting the experiment. Every factor typically has different values meaning that there are two or more levels for the factor. On the other hand, treatment can be
