In a famous 1903 letter, the Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) urges a protege of his to 'be patient toward all that is unsolved ... to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue … The point is, to live everything. Live the questions now.' And so, what have we here? A bit of self-help, perhaps, that is relevant to ideation in that it suggests how questions generate ideas, and vice versa. In other words, through the dynamic interplay of questions and ideas designers - and increasingly with Gen AI in the loop generate plans, proposals and ideas, and further questions to meet, and excel the requirements set out in the design brief.
