The activities of designers in the new conditions require a qualitatively new way of thinking. The features of training designers with a new level of professional thinking are considered. A set of problems related to the specifics of the process of design thinking formation has been studied as a means of adapting to social transformations in post-war Ukraine. And also as a means of creating and transmitting new ideas in a single cognitive space of dynamic events.

Design, forming material and visual culture, becomes a tool for understanding the properties of the surrounding world and human capabilities. By creating a material, spatial, subject environment, design is a key tool for innovation and competition, growth and development. This is important for the effective revival of post-war Ukraine and its flourishing. Therefore, a triad of actions is strategically important for design education - the formation of hybrid design thinking in the learning process, the expansion of the worldview and mastering the principles of risk prediction. New tools and technologies are valuable for design education, which contribute to creative and innovative activity through the triadic technology of forming natural design thinking, forming balanced creative-critical thinking, as well as 3D visualization of information flows of various nature in a single cognitive space.

The growth of the influence of algorithms and artificial intelligence in modern society has created a new reality that negatively affects mental health and thinking, human cognition and interpersonal communication. Therefore, the transformation of design education on a transdisciplinary basis will allow solving urgent problems in post-war Ukraine. In our opinion, the key to the formation of design thinking is the triadic technology for solving systemic problems, the use of which contributes to the formation of balanced creative-critical thinking. It is important to systematically analyze the viability of biological objects and objects in extreme conditions using a code-symbol and a code-algorithm. Note that the heuristic metamodels of complex dynamic systems (cyber-physical systems, fractal systems), as a rule, have the form of the Star of David.

Harmonization of interrelations and inversion of harmoniously connected opposites in information flows of various nature makes it possible to form hybrid complex-systemic thinking in the learning process, using metaheuristic models of cyber-physical systems, cognitive computing and artificial intelligence look like the Star of David. Its new interpretation as a code-algorithm for finding a balance between creative and critical thinking contributes to the formation of innovative thinking in the process of design activity.
