Abstract

This workshop will introduce participants to the process and content of The Book of Iteration. For some time, we have been using the Chinese classic the I Ching (or Book of Changes) as a resource for systemic design in both professional and classroom settings. The unique method of consulting the I Ching sparks novel insights, which can be usefully applied to overcome creative obstacles. Our research has found that the 64 passages of the I Ching correspond to the stages of a design cycle that apply to any creative process. We therefore adapted the passages into prompts for design thinking and creative practice. The adapted passages, and the various methods of consulting them, provide an intellectual lever that can help move any project toward its next iteration.
