This is the public profile of Children's Hospital Wayfinding Team, click here to view our interview with Children's Hospital Wayfinding TeamAbout Children's Hospital Wayfinding Team : The Childrens Hospital Wayfinding and Experience Design Team combines QUT Design Lab creatives and researchers with Queensland Children's Hospital curatorial and health communication specialists, reflecting the interdisciplinary approach typical of the QUT Design Lab. This group fosters collaboration among designers, thinkers and innovators from diverse fields. Acting as a catalyst for new thinking and dissolving boundaries between disciplines, they turn concepts into tangible artefacts, images, experiences and interactions to stimulate, provoke and empower partners and design students for positive, inclusive and ethical futures. Driven by the mission of 'Change by Design' and drawing on creative research, prototypes, Human-Centred Design and critical design processes they partner with community, government, and industry to drive meaningful change - from healthcare co-design processes and artefacts, to citizen science visualisation, robotics, transport and wayfinding design.
STATEMENT OF ART:Design plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of work, our lives and the future of our world. It contributes to the social and economic benefits of industry and community and helps drives innovation and insight. It has responsibility and extreme potential for socially and ecologically just outcomes, facilitating behavioural change for a unified human and environmental future.
