Abstract

From the 1950s through the 21st century, the design field has seen pivotal shifts encapsulated in five distinct trends, transitioning towards strategy, intangible values, and interdisciplinary collaboration, with a profound emphasis on "Design Thinking (DT) " (Lou, 2017) . This research, drawing upon the frameworks of Corss (2023) and Johansson - Sköldberg (2013), systematically categorizes design thinking into three distinct paradigms. Addressing Chinese Environmental (Art) Design Education (CEADE), the research highlights the outdated primacy of interior decoration, underscoring the need for reform towards a more holistic, forward-thinking approach emphasizing interdisciplinary cooperation and societal responsibility. Using the “Design Your Campus (DYC)” workshop at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology as a case study, the research illustrates the transformative potential of collaborative learning in molding “design-driven innovators.” Echoing the inclusive principles of Mahāyāna Buddhism (大乘佛法), the research advocates for an expansive application of design thinking, envisioning it as a pivotal tool to address complex societal challenges, championing a renewed, comprehensive perspective in design thinking, enriched by the spiritual universality intrinsic to Mahāyāna Buddhism's doctrines.
