The stream on Design
Peter A. Levine proposed the concept of “stream”, a conceptual therapy through the felt sense to heal trauma, which leads to an understanding of bi-directional communication between thoughts and physiology. Stream reveals that perception is a dynamic process of creating order and meaning. Design acts in a similar way when it combines rational problem solving with the development of emotional narratives.
I created a system that includes a video to introduce what the “stream” is, a diagram to demonstrate the process of applying stream to redesigning LIFE magazine and two videos to reveal the redesigned LIFE magazine.
My purpose is establishing an emotion-oriented design methodology to empower designers by consolidating concepts with different senses, emphasizing perceptions and articulating deeper narratives. This methodology expands the designer's capability to effectively organize and link emotional and subjective fragments of information to reconstruct scenes, develop new narratives, and achieve a deep resonance.
