In the digital age, and with so much stuff happening online, and accelerated by the Covid pandemic, why not focus on virtual ideation in cyberspace, or screen-based ideation, rather than in real space, or physical workshop-based ideation? However, design ideation, in the real world, is not just an exercise in the abstract that can be carried out online but involves concrete, hands-on activity too. Ideation, then, calls for imagination and analysis of both the abstract and concrete (material) elements of the problem identified, from contextual and cultural to technical and environmental aspects. In this endeavour, in the workshop setting, the participants try out and visualise their ideas using a range of ideation tools, from drawing and photographs to collage and 3D sketch models. The participants, then, reflect on, display, share and discuss the outcomes, which become the workshop learning experience.
