Timeline

4 Months (September 2025 ~ December 2025)

Throughout the Design Frameworks course at UC Berkeley Master of Design, I've examined nearly 30 theoretical & practical design frameworks throughout history and visualized main concepts in a systemic diagram called Concept Maps.

Concept Map of MaaS (Mobility as a Service)

Mobility as a Service (Maas) is a consumer-centric integrated platform for diverse transportation methods provided real-time.

It is emerging as a transformative solution for urban mobility, driven by the convergence of emerging technological advancements, environmental imperatives, and evolving societal needs.

Based on the foundations of current urban environments, MaaS will impact future urban environments across fields, and is crucial for future systems.

Every week throughout the course, I read & analyzed 2 readings of design frameworks and visualize the main concept of each reading into a systemic Concept map.

Feel free to read through the Concept Maps of 27 Design Frameworks.

Reflections

Through the Design Frameworks course, I have gained comprehensive critical thinking skills specifically focused on the process of designing and the pivotal role of the designer in shaping both the present and future.

Here are some takeaways :

  • History & Contexts of Foundational Design Frameworks of HCI

  • Systemic Thinking for Design Concepts and Linking Key Elements

  • Envisioning Future Systems that could be designed to impact Human Practices
