Creative Ecologies III

- Be true to yourself (as a designer and as an individual) - How other people may see you? (perception of an interaction?) For myself security and tradition inter play with each other. As an individual I always want a sense of belonging but also feel detachment from tradition.   As a designer, Universalism, achievement, self-direction and stimulation play a bigger part. 

Theory of Change (TOC) - Methodology, process of change - Understanding the impact on ourselves and as designers - Consequences/ obstructions when the balance is interrupted? Definitions ECOLOGY - systems, energies that can transform - how things interact with each other - influence/ers - agents that are carriers? - organisms in the environment - ideologies? SUSTAINABILITY - an impression/solution (long-lasting) - meeting needs for the future - economic, social, environmental - reducing harm/ keep balance (important for designers) - Sustainability of the message? - Sustainability of the actual practice? - Sustainability of attention and behaviours? - looking at re-introductions? DESIGN - perspective - problem solving (intent/intentional?) - story telling/ narrative - experience? - decision making
