1 Thing I Learned from Owen Cafe's Lecture

# data[].attributes.body
I discovered at the Owen Cafe talk that designing is about knowing its cultural and social context as much as about producing beautiful works. Designing for a certain culture or location was said to be "lazy" if it is done surface-level without regard for the deeper sociopolitical setting. Not only appearance but also method and context should be the main emphasis of really successful design. Designers must thus have a thorough awareness of the history and culture engaged in order to prevent a fresh "colonisation".

Leading peer conversations taught me a lot about the need of good communication and leadership abilities. First of all, it is imperative to pay attention to peers' points of view since knowing them will help to foster a favorable environment for conversation. Encouragement of honest and open communication has helped team members to more freely express their ideas, therefore fostering more thorough conversations.

Key to success also is clearly defining the goals and framework of the conversation. I now know how to create well defined agendas, make sure conversations go in line, and steer issues at suitable periods to prevent deviation. Good time management is equally crucial to guarantee that everyone gets the chance to speak without having the conversation mired in protracted arguments.

In general, directing peer conversations has not only sharpened my leadership and organizing abilities but also helped me to see that effective teamwork and problem-solving start with strong communication and positive connection.

When I think back on what I have discovered, I see how much my design techniques may be influenced by this knowledge. First of all, appreciating the influence of social and cultural context on design will inspire me to do more thorough investigation before to the project starts. Instead of merely following popular trends or visual aesthetics, I will aim to grasp the history and values of the society and culture engaged in the planned project. This method guarantees the integrity and respect of the design as well as improves the link between the user and the creation.

Second, my improved guiding of conversations and decisions in team cooperation will come from my acquired excellent communicating and organizing abilities. By use of well defined objectives and disciplined debates, I am able to more successfully gather and combine the ideas of team members, therefore enhancing the quality and adaptability of design solutions.

At last, realizing that design is about a great awareness of the process and context as well as about appearance would inspire me to give greater attention to pragmatic demands and social influence in design. This approach guarantees that the design works have both aesthetic value and social responsibility as well as practical functionality, therefore preventing "lazy design". These thoughts will enable me to improve the general degree of design and more thoroughly and deeply analyze several aspects in the design process.
