The Power of Data-Driven Design
summary
Kees Dorst argues that designers must shift from creating one-off solutions to shaping interventions that improve dynamic, networked systems by combining technical data-and-network infrastructures with human and social systems. He emphasizes data-driven design techniques such as data-informed feedback loops and says the main task is to use the technical possibilities of the data society to design the human side of systems so society benefits and becomes better off.
