In this eighth episode of the Stanford d.school spotlight; Scott Witthoft conjures radical innovative thinking, a fundamentally novel and useful way of looking at design via flexible prototyping! He is author of dschool guide This is a Prototype.

What is a prototype, how can we approach their design and creation, and what is their utility?

Scott Witthoft works as an educator, designer, and author. Drawing from his past practice of forensic structural engineering, he incorporates that expertise with current pursuits in space, furniture, and product design—teaching and speaking widely. He is the co-author of Make Space, a tool for creating collaborative environments. His work has been featured in The Design Museum and publications such as Fast Company, Architecture and Urbanism, and Metropolis. This Is a Prototype: The Curious Craft of Exploring New Ideas by Scott Witthoft and Stanford d.school.

Part of the Stanford d.school’s collection of creativity and design books, this guide presents practical tools, guidance and methods for creating a prototype to test an idea, which anyone can use to confidently turn the unknowns of a new idea into a learning experience.
