Synthesizing a Question-Centric Design Thinking Model

A question-centric design thinking model, which describes a structure for design thinking, can be synthesized from the findings of this research. This entails reconsidering the empirical findings within the context of the theoretical frameworks on the nature of questions asked while designing and design performance. My synthesis method consists of the following steps: 1.Assigning meaning to the empirical findings by developing three paradigms that treat question asking in design as a: ProcessCreative negotiation actMechanism for managing divergent-convergent thinking modes2.Using the third paradigm to outline a process for arriving at design decisions by asking questions.3.Considering the implications of the verified hypotheses in light of these three paradigms.4.Operationaling the key elements of the insights gained in the preceding steps by mapping them onto the design process.
