    Specialization (Or Specialisation) Is The Separation of Tasks Within A System. in A Multicellular

    The document discusses how high degrees of specialization may prevent seeing connections between designs and their wider consequences. It also discusses creativity as a way of operating rather than a talent. Additionally, it notes that art is individual expression while science is collaborative. Specialization separates tasks within a system, whether in biology with specialized cells, or in capitalist societies with specialized workers. However, taking a holistic and interdisciplinary approach can help make connections between specialized areas and see the larger picture.

    High degrees of specialisation may be rendering us unable to see the connections between the
    things we design and their consequences as they ripple out into the biosphere. (Terry Irwin)

    It is easier to say what creativity isn’t. A bit like the sculptor who when asked how he had sculpted a
    very fine elephant, explained that he’d taken a big block of marble and then knocked away all the
    bits that didn’t look like an elephant. Now there’s the negative thing: Creativity is not a talent, it is a
    way of operating. (John Cleese)

    Art is I; Science is we. (Claude Bernard)

    Specialization (or specialisation) is the separation of tasks within a system. In a multicellular


    creature, cells are specialized for functions such as bone construction or oxygen transport. In
    capitalist societies, individual workers specialize for functions such as building construction or
    gasoline transport.
    BIOLOGY
    the adaptation of an organ or part to serve a special function or to suit a particular way of life.

    a theory that the universe and especially living nature is correctly seen in terms of interacting
    wholes (as of living organisms) that are more than the mere sum of elementary particles

    connector / holistic medicine (alternative medicine)
    J. P. Guilford[38] drew a distinction between convergent and divergent production (commonly
    renamed convergent and divergent thinking). Convergent thinking involves aiming for a single,
    correct solution to a problem, whereas divergent thinking involves creative generation of multiple
    answers to a set problem. Divergent thinking is sometimes used as a synonym for creativity in
    psychology literature. Other researchers have occasionally used the terms flexible thinking or fluid
    intelligence, which are roughly similar to (but not synonymous with) creativity

    intro spec design

     Speculative design is also one of the most representative examples of the new interaction
    of disciplines. It is therefore interesting to see how new designers view their practice:
    they call themselves trans-disciplinary, post-disciplinary or even post-designers, quite
    often even simply – designers. However, occasionally they do not even indicate that their
    perspective is design at all
     At the first glance, one might think that this implies nothing but opening another niche
    for a new type of specialisation, worse still, binding the design practice and discourse to
    an even deeper, more hermetical and exclusive design meta-language; however, for the
    time being it seems that this is luckily not the case. Since it is not oriented only to mass
    production of real physical products but rather to an opportunity to re-think conditions
    in which such products might become part of our everyday lives and the resulting
    consequences/implications, speculative design often uses narrative techniques found in
    video, film, television or the mass media in general. Namely, speculative design
    prototypes (or prototypes that emerged as the result of speculative approach) are
    extremely interdependent with the imagined context for which they have been initially
    designed, and therefore, to become understandable, they require their story to be told in
    a clear and intelligible manner that is closest to our everyday experience.
