CONGRUENCY
DESIGN COMMONALITY USING HUMAN-CENTERED CONCEPTS GREG LOUVIERE A+ID
While humanity has put men on the moon, mapped the human genome, and found cures for some of the most debilitating diseases, the scientific, organized understanding of human motivation and behavior has largely remained the undiscovered country. Its seems that the essential, internal human condition has been left to wither, while external, physical aspects of the world have been developed almost beyond the limits of our comprehension. Because of this, immense opportunity now lies before us to revolutionize how we understand ourselves and others, and improve the quality of the world and our lives. Understanding Us: The Next Frontier Dirk Knemeyer, Involution Founder
CONGRUENCY
When given this opportunity to express my project range I wanted to being with a guiding principle that allows one to bridge various domains, from workplace, health-care and learning. The consideration of being human is a place from which one draws inspiration. As humans we all approach living, working, learning, research and healing in multiple ways, however we all contain a central core that expresses our human-ness. This is a factor that none of us can deny within ourselves. If it is such, then why not enable ourselves to approach how we design through this human core. Understanding others through empathy allows us to enrich the environments we design, giving them relavance and content. This does not overset the value of elegance and features of quality but, it allows our spaces to have meaning and purpose for those who enage them.

It is easy to lose sight of that in medicine where it is crucial to identify and address the needs of the patient in the most timely and accurate manner.” Collaboratively Designing for Health: An Interview with Dana Ragouzeos, Center for Innovation, Mayo Clinic
