Design Wisdom: The HITED Framework for Methodological Empathy

A new visual language for the Design Wisdom project

In Sept 2022, I made many new ideas such as a set of methods for mapping the complexity of creative life. The last idea I made last week is the above diagram.

The above diagram is called the HITED framework. It is about the way of knowing. For philosophists, the way of knowing refers to the subject of epistemology. For scientists, the way of knowing refers to the subject of methodology.

I consider this framework a tool for the Design Wisdom project.

Several months ago, I wrote a post about the Design Wisdom project and encourage designers to adopt theory-based reflection for their intellectual development.

I also work on a new approach called Knowledge Curation that aims to connect Theory and Practice.

Why do I create the HITED framework?

What’s the relationship between the Knowledge Curation project and the HITED framework?

The answer is the THEORY-PRACTICE Gap.

The THEORY-PRACTICE Gap

The mission behind the Knowledge Curation project is Connecting Theory and Practice.
