ABSTRACT
It will never cease to be a living blueprint of the future, where people actually live a life they can’t find anywhere else in the world.
—Walt Disney speaking about EPCOT (Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow)
How do you get from inspiration to a real life prototype? Let’s look at the flow of design ideation. As you can see in Figure 13.1, each step of a design process flows into the next, and concepts from some steps may possibly flow into noncontiguous steps as well. Design thinking is not usually a linear process; it is more like a “cloud” of ideas. In every step but the initial one, there is an opportunity for prototyping something as well as developing a new layer on the previous prototype.
