An Inside
View

EMPATHY. INTERVENTION.
ITERATION.
The idea of design thinking first came on the scene in the
late 1960s, but recent years have shown the progressive thought
process rearing its conceptual head in industries far beyond the
design professions. Fields including government, finance, and
health and wellness, not to mention educational environments for
all ages, have recognized the power of the design thought process,
one that considers all elements of a scenario-from the emotional
to the tactile to the overall experiential-to produce the most
logical, useful, and enjoyable solution.
In this issue, we put the concept of design thinking under the
microscope and show its promise at work in varying ways-from
informing professionals on effective decision-making processes to
inspiring current and future designers to take action and improve
the world creatively. On the following pages, we dig into the
ways in which design thinking is being taught to all and executed
in daily practice ("Of Thought & Process," p. 30), and we
illustrate how kids today are making a connection with design

and design thinking and some of the amazing programs helping
them to do so ("Connecting with Kids," p. 36). We also explore
organizations that are putting creative thought processes and
talent to work for the betterment of marginalized communities
("Designing Solutions," p. 20) and to keep creative citizens in the
art- and design-infused neighborhoods they helped to improve
("Combatting the SoHo Effect," p. 44).
If we can all see the world and its challenges through the
constructive thought process of design, then designing a better
future-for the built environment and for society at large-
becomes a natural result. Progress, then, isn't simply possible,
it's eminent and ongoing. And, the future looks a bit brighter
by design.
