Biography

Gabriela Goldschmidt is a graduate of the Yale School of Architecture. She joined the Technion after years of architectural practice and taught dozens of design studios at the Technion, and as a visitor elsewhere (including the University of Montreal, MIT, Delft University of Technology). Her research interests include design cognition, reasoning, representation and education, visual thinking, sketching, visual analogy, and related topics. She consolidated separate conferences on design thinking into the series DTRS – Design Thinking Research Symposia. Gabriela has published extensively, including on design thinking, and is the author of one book (Linkography: Unfolding the Design Process, MIT Press 2014), and co-editor of another (Design Representation, Springer 2004, with William L. Porter).

Ezri Tarazi is an industrial designer who was affiliated with the Bezalel Department of Industrial Design for many years, including as head of the department, until he joined the Technion. Most of his work is in R&D, particularly for life-support systems of various kinds. He was a partner in a few start-ups and was a co-founder of IDEO Israel until its closure. He participated in many exhibitions including at prestigious museums and galleries and has led many Design Thinking workshops. Currently, he heads Technion’s Design Tech initiative. He has written two books (Hebrew) including one on Design Thinking.
