  • www.ted.com Tim Brown says the design profession is preoccupied with creating nifty, fashionable objects -- even as pressing questions like clean water access show it has a bigger role to play. He calls for a shift to local, collaborative, participatory "design thinking."

    This is one of the BEST, thought provoking ideas - Design Thinking. Participation instead self centered priesthood thinking is a point focussed on community development and participation. In a fast paced world, innovation is based on competition to get more cash, marketability. Instead of giving people what they want, the system wants them to believe this is what they need. That is success. His idea is an anti-thesis to what is going on now. Apple's designer will hate Tim Brown, for socializing an individualistic designers' domain of priesthood. Who cares about people, they need to like what designers think is right.

      +Thinakar Samy Community development? If you want to see how well that goes go visit Quirky. I believe anybody can design but not everybody is a great designer. Tim Brown's speech is inspiring because of the possibility of more open and collaborative design. However, you are confusing community based design and the work of a professional designer hired by a private company. I hope to see community design play a bigger role in the world; but how it stands now companies and people will look down on it because it doesn't produce enough money (if any) :(

      Community design is an internet paradigm, quirky May not succeed, but it is at infant stage, more distributed add it castes too many infections creating a framework for many incubating ideas to progress. This us a framework. sure it will take time., as it lacks :
      A. money power and b. fast thinking c. Passion.
      However, Community can generate money if it needs a product badly. When Microsoft was releasing operating system that kept crashing 20 years back, the community passionately wanted alternatives. Though small, it pursued a fledgling small operating system called Linux, the operating system that powers many small devices, and big servers in cloud today - is a success story of community effort and design and contribution. This community was small 20 years before. So many contributors to one project Linux, everyone uses it now. Android phones use it.
      Of course community design is slow but steady, needs good leadership that listens to community.
      quirky is a framework. I think it won't go well. Agree.

    The way I see it, the main key thought is for everyone to engage their minds in the process of producing ideas instead of leaving it to the "market". This is not socialism, it is about participation: developing a passion for ideas, of being creative, of not being bored and TV channel surfing to cover it up.
    When I lived in New Town, in Sydney, Australia in the late 70s, there was a piece of graffiti on the wall down our street: "Consume, be silent, and die".
    Do we want this as our epitaph?

    As an active designer and degreed engineer, I found this very stimulating and not at all blah-blah-blah. I believe this is an important movement--perhaps as important as the movement towards user experience designing. I hope those who watch this realize these aren't buzz words, but specific thought process methodologies as important and defined as "the scientific method".

    @crudhousefull I can change the consume part as well...at the moment I am on a mission to reskill myself in some old style skills. Current interests: bread making, building lime and sand walls, cooking almost everything I eat, and growing a lot of it as well. Oh, and investigating the health aspects of food we eat. I find myself very critical of food nowadays when I eat out, which annoys my husband no end!

    when it comes to the water-problem: SEVERAL designers have already designed SEVERAL objects that allow people to drink straightly from the filthy water and it filters everything and there is clean water coming out of it IMMEDIATELY.
    The big question is not: how do we do this?
    The big question is: WHY HASNT ANYONE INTRODUCED THESE OBJECTS TO THE PEOPLE AND HELP ORGANISATIONS?!

    I think he's talking more so about engineering, because design is exactly what it is, design, style, which is why designers always come up with more than one variations of certain products. Engineering is where revolutionary things happen. Though a designer can be an engineer and vice-versa

    comparing big objects with thinking big is a bit too naive. maybe it meant those objects that we see/use/buy daily, but even those that are "a tool of consumerism" are still needed, quite desirable and important. there was e.g. a pen and sunglasses on the slide - not important? maybe not the matter of life and death, but certainly very important, when it comes to human centered design. could be just a bad choice for the slide..
