设计过程 | The process of design

构建IED创新实验室（iil）的想法始于2016年，其目的是让IED这样的设计机构发挥出更大的价值，使其在提供教育之外，还能够走向更广阔的创意舞台。这一想法的实现过程设计到两种不同的方法：1.硬件：设计并构建实验室的物理空间，包括建筑和办公室。2.软件：设计并规范实验室的运作方式，涉及到人员、流程和产品。

The idea of creating IED Innovation lab took shape in 2016 when we started thinking about the value that a heritage design institution like IED can bring, beyond providing education, to the global stage of design & innovation. The process of materialising this idea involved two different approaches: 1. the hardware: designing and building the physical space of the lab (architecture and workspace design) 2.the software: designing and formalising how the lab operates (people, processes and products)
