Community is built by first planting a seed.

Communities are designed by first seeding the mind.

 

 

God gave to Moses the patterns of the tabernacle and instruments.

God gave the pattern of the temple to David long before it was built by Soloman.

 

The places of society are built object by object, and with design can be formed together to serve the essence of community.

Every organization conveys to users and customers, its essence of integrity by its products and services from its strategy of design.

 

 

Design Strategy defines an organization's care for its users.

Design Strategy is the outcome of Design Thinking which guides the interaction of Design Phases to form Design Solutions.

 

Since the early 70's the brand PhilpoDesign™ has maintained a Design Strategy of User Focus as central to Design Solutions.

Design Thinking is a process of structuring opportunities for alternative systematic patterns that are focused on design solutions or outcomes to provide a whole greater than the sum of the parts.

Design Doing is a process which provides real solutions for user experiences to enhance the quality of human endevors.

 

Built on the theories of Christopher Alexander , L. Bruce Archer, Max Bill, and famed Ulm School of Design graduates Drs. Eva Pfeil and Walter Schaer at Auburn University, PhilpoDesign™ strives to focus a shepherding process to bring forth design solutions integrating the arts, sciences and humanities.

All PhilpoDesign™ services are structured within six cyclic iterative phases of our Design Thinking + Design Doing process whereby synthesis is part of analysis and ideation:

Research, Analysis, Ideation, Conception, Development & Implementation

as shown in the DesignPhaseInteraction diagram above.

Design Thinking + Design Doing is vital to find solutions to complex situations in historic preservation, revitalization organization, promotion, economic restructuring, environmental, graphic or product design.

 

Design not just art, not just scientific applications, not just human factors,

Design is the application of the integration of the arts, the sciences and the humanities. 

Design is the force that cast the factors of creativity to serve the needs and desires of humanity.

The history of design and anthropology, in objects and communication, conveys that great design is more than the technical function forming the external surface, but that the essence, including the soul, the purpose, the technology, the efficiency, the feeling, the quality, the character, the integrity, as well as the materials and structure must become evident and integral to the form of the design, to serve all users.
