XGM
Apples New Headquaters
What is the aim of a circular economy?
XGM
To close the loop of product use and manufacture
Aim of user centred design?
XGM
To understand the wants and values of a wide range of users in order to better focus the design of a product.
What are the limitations of end user consideration?
XGM
- Costly 💲💲
- Subjective information
- Difficult for a company to invest time, money, training & level of expertise needed for the rewards to be shown.
What is a framework?

What is the aim of the circular economy?
- CT
The aim is being to close the loop
of product use and manufacture, increasingly
using renewable resources as a source of energy.
Systems Thinking. -FW
Understanding every element in a complex process to consider its most positive possible affect.
Before we used which kind of processing? -FW
Sequential.
What does using multi-disciplinary teams in a design process allow? -FW
Getting the design ‘right first time’ on all grounds.
Biomimicry -FW
The use of natural processes and forms as inspiration.
Limits of user consideration. -FW
Extra costs. Potential extra time taken. Data collected is always subjectively interpreted. Have to set up scientific boundaries and logic.
What is Systems Thinking?
HB
A method of streamlining and making the design process more efficient, also known as concurrent manufacturing.
What is BioPol ©?
HB
A biodegradable polymer, useful when considering a circular economy.
What is Roleplaying?
HB
Acting out the use of a prototype or design with potential users to understand how to improve the design ergonomically or otherwise, part of UCD.
What are some of the drawbacks to UCD?
HB
Expensive, Time consuming, may not produce ideal results, results difficult to understand or implement.
