SCOPE
Design Creativity is an important and interesting topic of study in design.
Since it involves the profound and essential nature of design, design
creativity is expected to be a key in not only addressing the social
problems that we are facing, but also producing an innate appreciation for
beauty and happiness in our minds. In order to elucidate the nature of
design creativity, the following issues are being studied: cognitive
processes underlying design creativity, computational models of design
creativity, and practical processes to incorporate the human and social
dimensions.
ICDC is an official conference promoted by the Design Creativity Special
Interest Group (SIG) of the Design Society. The SIG was established in 2007;
since then, its ambit has expanded to include engineering design, industrial
design, artificial intelligence, linguistics, and cognitive science.
The 1st ICDC will provide a forum to discuss the nature and potential of
design creativity from both theoretical and methodological viewpoints.
The 1st ICDC will include panel discussions on the ‘directions for design
creativity research’; these discussions will conclude a series of three
panel discussions that will be held at ICED’09 in USA, DESIGN 2010 in
Croatia and the ICDC in Kobe. The aim of these discussions is to develop
directions for future research on design creativity.
Keynote Speaker on ICDC2010 will be Hiroyuki Yoshikawa Dr. Eng. (Japan).
