The Life Discovery Canvas (v1.0) — Part 4: Inspirations
Some knowledge sources behind the canvas
The above picture is the Life Discovery Canvas. This article is part of a long introduction to the new canvas and its context with the following four parts:
- Part 1: Theoretical Background
- Part 2: Spatial Structure
- Part 3: Concepts (3A: THINK and LEARN |3B: SAY and DO)
- Part 4: Inspirations
The theoretical background of the canvas is the Project-centered approach. You can find six basic principles of the approach from Part 1. My design thoughts behind the canvas is a deep analogy between Thematic Space Canvas and Life Discovery Canvas. Both of them share the same spatial structure. You can find more details about spatial structure from Part 2.
The Life Discovery Canvas is a meaningful whole that is formed by 16 pieces of blocks. Each block refers to a thematic space around a particular theme which is a concept in a general sense. Part 3A introduces 8 themes which are located at the THINK area and the LEARN area. Part 3B introduces other themes about SAY and DO.
This article shares some sources of my inspirations for designing the Life Discovery Canvas.
