IDE Master Class: Design for Fundamental Needs

The essence of design lies in its ability to meet individual and collective needs. The relevance, purpose, meaning, and success of any design (product, service, building, etcetera) hinge on how well it satisfies fundamental needs. Design that addresses human needs not only evokes positive emotions but also has the potential to enhance long-term happiness.
This masterclass features a blend of interactive tutorials and workshops, exploring various aspects of design related to fundamental human needs, emotion, and happiness. The program includes theory, measurement, and practical applications. Participants will be introduced to design approaches that are grounded in robust theory yet remain pragmatic and user-friendly. By the end of the masterclass, participants will have deepened their understanding of fundamental needs, how design elicits emotions, and influences happiness. They will also gain hands-on experience in formulating design intentions that include fundamental needs.
