Abstract

Drawing on Sarasvathy's theory of effectuation, the co-evolution model of design thinking, and Dewey's pattern of inquiry, we investigated the potential of reusing heterogeneous material scraps in industrial design to create environmentally sustainable products. We present a descriptive model of the design process from a longitudinal study in a Master of Science industrial design program. The findings show the importance of problem-forming and the reshaping of situations through effectual reasoning. The study contributes to the field of sustainable design by offering a framework for reusing material scraps and fostering effectual thinking in industrial design education.
