Abstract
Trans-disciplinary innovative methods enable designers to collaborate with people from different industries, unleashing a higher level of creativity and exploring future innovation opportunities. The Innovation Geometry model redefines the category and evaluation criteria of innovation, which was originally established by the author to guide the R&D innovation of enterprises. Based on the author’s teaching practice in China, this paper discusses the application of Innovation Geometry model in design education, especially to guide how to design future opportunities. Innovation Geometry model borrows the spatial dimensions of Geometry and integrates the six core elements that drive innovation: market, technology, product, people, aesthetics and trend, which upgrades the two-dimensional innovation model that focused on technology-driven innovation and market-driven innovation to the spatial dimension Innovation Design, and introduces the fourth dimension time. This research analyses the author’s teaching practices of Innovation Design undergraduate program at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing and aims to summarize the methods of applying Innovation Geometry model to explore future innovative opportunities in design education.
