VIP | Vision in Design

Design solutions are ‘just’ a means to an end. Designers should, first and foremost, design the raison d’ĂȘtre of their final intervention. For this, they need to build a personal vision based on their view of a future world.

Curriculum


This Master Class trains professional designers and other innovation professionals in the design method ‘Vision in Design’ (ViP). ViP is a method that forces you to design the idea underlying your design in great detail, before coming to a manifestation: What exactly is it that you want people to understand, experience or do? In a series of short lectures and exercises, participants learn about the main features and design principles of the ViP process. In this way, participants experience the power of building a personal and fine-grained vision on their design work.
