Stage 5 Visionary<br />

Visionary is the stage that excellent<br />

Master’s graduates may have started<br />

to develop. For many graduates this is<br />

the stage they will work on and arrive<br />

at after their graduation. Dorst (2004)<br />

defines this stage as follows: “The world<br />

discloser or ‘visionary’ consciously<br />

strives to extend the domain in which<br />

he/she works. The visionary develops<br />

new ways things could be, defines the<br />

issues, opens new worlds and creates<br />

new domains. To do this a visionary<br />

operates more on the margins of a<br />

domain, paying attention to other<br />

domains as well, and to anomalies and<br />

marginal practices that hold promises<br />

for a new vision of the domain.” In the<br />

Bachelor’s as well as the Master’s course,<br />

a strong emphasis is put on envisioning<br />

for societal transformation, and students<br />

are stimulated to develop their own<br />

vision on society. When a designer has<br />

reached the stage of visionary, all his/her<br />

designs breathe this overall vision, which<br />

has become the salient aspect of his/<br />

her identity, and this visionary expertise<br />

is recognised by other experts in and<br />

outside the field of industrial design.
