Design Theory- about Con-structure

During my time at ArtCenter, I was exposed to a vast spectrum of methodologies, from foundational Form Language to complex design theories. As my understanding deepened, I aspired to formulate a unified theory that could articulate my own creative logic.

While I may not have reached a final, definitive answer, at this graduation milestone, I wish to organize and share the theories that have most profoundly shaped my thinking. This framework synthesizes elements of linguistics, cognitive neuroscience, and Gestalt psychology.

I hope this consolidation serves as a resource for others navigating similar questions. I am always open to dialogue—please feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss design theory further!

In addition to the theory itself, I have documented my design process and the shifts in my thinking. My goal is to illustrate the continuous feedback loop where practice tests theory, and theory informs practice.
