Abstract

The notion of ‘strategic design’ has arisen in the past years as an umbrella term for a set of evolving practices. Yet the literature is quite fuzzy as to what this strategic design actually is and how it would lead to strategic impact. In this paper we explore the issue afresh, bracketing the concept of strategic design, and starting from the standpoint that “There is no such thing as strategic design”. We use a longitudinal case study of a design intervention, following its strategic impact as it unfolds over 10 years to critically consider the strategic impact of design practices. The dynamics of strategic impact across this case study is captured in a fledgling ‘Game Changers’ model.

没有所谓的战略设计

“战略设计”的概念在过去几年中作为一系列不断发展的实践的总称而出现。然而，关于这种战略设计到底是什么以及它将如何产生战略影响，文献中却相当模糊。本文从“不存在战略设计”的角度出发，将战略设计概念纳入其中，重新探讨这一问题。我们使用设计干预的纵向案例研究，跟踪其在10年内的战略影响，批判性地考虑设计实践的战略影响。本案例研究中战略影响的动态体现在一个刚刚起步的“游戏改变者”模型中。

期刊介绍： Design Studies is a leading international academic journal focused on developing understanding of design processes. It studies design activity across all domains of application, including engineering and product design, architectural and urban design, computer artefacts and systems design. It therefore provides an interdisciplinary forum for the analysis, development and discussion of fundamental aspects of design activity, from cognition and methodology to values and philosophy. Design Studies publishes work that is concerned with the process of designing, and is relevant to a broad audience of researchers, teachers and practitioners. We welcome original, scientific and scholarly research papers reporting studies concerned with the process of designing in all its many fields, or furthering the development and application of new knowledge relating to design process. Papers should be written to be intelligible and pertinent to a wide range of readership across different design domains. To be relevant for this journal, a paper has to offer something that gives new insight into or knowledge about the design process, or assists new development of the processes of designing.
