Chasing a design deadline and hitting a creativity wall? It happens to everyone. When working in a creative industry, it is normal to feel drained at times. Let us help you get out this funk.

These 3 Frameworks will help you ditch that designer's block

1. The Five Whys 🕵️

Imagine that you're a detective on a mission to figure out what is wrong with your project. You keep asking 'why' repeatedly to get to the root issue. Here's an example:

Why is this lobby cramped?

2. SCAMPER💻

SCAMPER stands for Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to another use, Eliminate, and Reverse - It is a blueprint for design thinking. For example: Substitute bricks for glass, Combine lobby spaces, or Reverse floor plans.

Tweaking about with new and existing designs leads to inspiration and innovation✨

3. The Double Diamond 💎

This stands for: Discover, Define, Develop, and Deliver. Here's an example on how to use it -

Imagine you're stuck in the concept stage of a city library project.

Discover: Visit different libraries, chat around and understand the city's need.

Define: With new insights, define your architectural mission. Maybe it's a reading nook for kids.

Develop: Understand kids needs and wants and develop the designs

Deliver: Transform those drafts into masterpieces
