Care as an integral process within the processes of design: A new model for Caring Design (original) (raw)
If as Simon (1988) argues; a science of design needs to include a proper study of human beings; then the processes of design should also consider the process of Human Being. Heidegger's thesis (1962) named Care as the structure of Being 1. Taking this as a starting point, we have undertaken a wider exploration of the notion of Care and present our conclusions on what a universal structure of Human Being (Care) might look like. This prototype 'Model of Care' is a synthesis of knowledge in the form of four dimensions of Human Being. It gives structural form to the contentious notion of Care; one that enables the 'process of being human' (Care) to be better understood, communicated and included within the many processes of design.
