Inferring Design Environment (IDE) : "(re) shaping a design pattern as a learning process"

Abstract

This proposal examines the Design process through developing a dialog or game-like graphic software environment. Inferring Design Environment (IDE) is a concept sketch that assimilates a dialog or turn-taking game onto a two dimensional digital canvas, which in turn helps designers learn about their learning processes. This turn-taking process eventually gives rise to meaningful expression through the use of a rule the Designer has made previously. Henceforth, learning is not something that has a goal and purpose such as teaching does, but is rather the emergence and discovery of an interaction of finite elements and the "self"' in an Environment.
