Design Thinking is an iterative process in which we seek to understand the user, challenge assumptions, and redefine problems in an attempt to identify alternative strategies and solutions that might not be instantly apparent with our initial level of understanding. At the same time, provides a solution-based approach to solving problems. Some of the world’s leading brands, such as Apple, Google, Samsung, GE etc. have rapidly adopted the Design Thinking approach, and Design Thinking is being taught at leading universities around the world, including Stanford, Harvard and MIT. The concept behind the competition 2018 was brought in line with Theme [DESIGN THINKING] by Chronos Studeos the organizers, to challenge the Nigerian students of architecture to be inventive.
