Abstract

The “Horizon 2020” is initiated by the European Union, and it advocates design-driven innovation. It is generally believed that design is an essential impetus for innovation, and naturally, design methods and tools are applied in the field of innovation. In innovation, one field is social innovation that refers to new ideas and solutions developed to cater to social needs. Evidences have shown that social innovation can be fully demonstrated through design, especially in systems thinking, prototype design and visualization. However, people express their concerns about limitations of design in this field.

In this paper, having discussed specific case - NICE2035 Future Living Lab, the author proposed innovative design, methods and concepts of social innovation, and emphasized prototype design and infrastructure. Different from project design, social innovation methods, activities in implementation and social connection network built aimed to help stakeholders establish long-term relationships and obtain design opportunities. Moreover, it stressed that prototypes, as a design method and tool, should be open and displayed to more people, and to spread knowledge of a sustainable lifestyle.
