Design Process for Technological and Meaningful Innovation: A Case Study of Light Solar Design Lab

Abstract: In the context of contemporary design culture, technological innovation applied to Intelligent Light Solutions does not always align with the evolution of language and the new and potential utilitarian, symbolic, and emotional meanings that Light Solar Design products could assume to enhance the decor of the urban and territorial landscape. This subject has been addressed as an educational and design research experience, based on a multidisciplinary approach of Design Driven Innovation, using the methodologies, tools, and guidelines of Solar Design and Life Cycle Design (LCD). The paper proposes a critical discussion on the methods, tools, and design outcomes.

Keywords: Light Solar Design, Design Driven Innovation, Technology Innovation, Meaning Innovation
