dc.description.abstract(Human-centred design: an emergent conceptual module by Zhang T and Dong H) Understanding human needs and how design responds to human needs are essential for human-centred design (HCD). By combining Maslow’s hierarchy of needs model and Küthe’s “design and society” model, this paper proposes a conceptual model of human-centred design which marries psychology and sociology in investigating the relationship between design and human needs. The study reveals a tendency that design evolution responds to the hierarchy of human needs. Nowadays design tends to care for more levels of human needs.en
