‘What Do You Think The Campus Is Telling You?’ Teaching-Led Research Exploring Campus Design And Perception, Nicole Porter
Learn X Design Conference Series
Learning to ‘read’ places is a fundamental skill for built environment designers. Although we may intuitively respond to different designed environments - the silencing effect of a church interior or the imposing scale of a grand estate, for example – the ability to understand how places are spatially and semiotically constructed (encoded) and interpreted by others (decoded) is an ongoing aspect of design education. In this paper, a teaching-led research project addressing such design literacy is presented. This project simultaneously introduces the concept of design interpretation to students whilst addressing the research question ‘how do different students read their own …

This paper presents experiments in digital design teaching methodologies at the collegiate level within architectural education. The experiments manifested themselves in the form of three design workshops for students from different levels within the undergraduate architecture degree program at the University of Kentucky. Collectively titled “Translations”, these workshops speculated on strategies for the integration of analogue drawing and making with digital translations within the architectural design process. The events were organized around the concept of employing multiple modes of making, a diverse set of design techniques, and mixed media. The theme of the workshops grew from the belief that multiplication …

So What Do Design Students Really Think? Exploring Perceptions Of Learning Landscapes, Louise Barbour, Lindy Osborne, Glenda Caldwell

This paper investigates learning environments from the view of the key users - students. Recent literature on designing Learning Landscapes indicates a near absence of the student voice, assuming that the majority of students are either uninterested or unable to express what they want or need, in a learning environment. The focus of this research is to reveal Architecture and Fashion Design students’ perceptions of their learning environments. Furthermore, this study questions the appropriateness of usual design of learning spaces for Design students, or if the environment needs to be specifically catered for the learning of different disciplines of Design, …
