발산적 사고를 통한 아이디어 발상의 디자인 프로세스

This study aimed at proposing a design process based on creating ideas through divergent thinking. This idea is based on that designers are well trained to do divergent thinking, a kind of intuitive thinking. The following three stages were undertaken to solve the aim. The first stage constituted an examination of the existing design processes building on the previous literature. As a result of this examination, a process model of divergence and convergence emphasizing on designers' intuition and creativity was selected as this study's model. The second stage covered an examination of the existing theories of intuition including the argument of Bergson that intuition also can be used as evidence. At the third stage, how to derive group creativity and how to think up foresighted ideas by using divergent thinking as one of creative thinking methods were investigated. Finally, a design process model based on creating intuitive ideas through divergent thinking was suggested.
