Examining The Textile Design Creative Practice Research-Teaching Nexus, Helena Britt
Examining The Textile Design Creative Practice Research-Teaching Nexus, Helena Britt
Learn X Design Conference Series
Due to the nature of higher education (HE) in the United Kingdom (UK) educators often operate under pressure. This can be connected to requirements to undertake research and produce outputs, linked to funding awarded to HE institutions (HEIs). Approaches to research that utilise professional and or creative practice are adopted and formulated, prompting use of terms such as ‘practice-led’ and ‘practicebased’. Variation in opinion exists regarding research and creative practice by academic staff and within HEIs. The positive impact that educator research and or creative practice bring to the educational environment, learning and teaching has been recognised. Textile design exists …
Visual Grammar: A Literature Review, Karen Brænne
Visual Grammar: A Literature Review, Karen Brænne
Learn X Design Conference Series
Based on a database query and a manual search of Nordic literature about visual grammar, this article provides an overview analysis of six Norwegian contributions. The question in mind during this analysis concerns how the current academic theory of visual grammar is presented, and in particular, its purpose, the way it is systematized, its degree of theoretical discussion and its view of knowledge. In different ways, these contributions have an art- and/or design educational purpose. From this overview analysis, three elected topics were discussed: The degree of systematic and schematic representation, the discussion of the origin and construction of visual …

Enthusiasm is growing in non-traditional environments for teaching design by adapting knowledge and approaches from studio pedagogy, described as a “signature pedagogy” by Shulman in 2005. Meanwhile, those in fields where some variation of studio pedagogy have been used for decades are engaged in addressing some of its experienced shortcomings. Within this landscape of change, the authors have been engaged in study of their own studio-based courses, (interior design, instructional design, and interaction/experience design), reflecting on how this form of pedagogy is contributing to students’ development as designers. In this study we consider the role of the instructor in the …
Ecological Literacy In Design Education: A Foundation For Sustainable Design, Joanna Boehnert
Ecological Literacy In Design Education: A Foundation For Sustainable Design, Joanna Boehnert
Learn X Design Conference Series
Responsible design in an era of scarcity and risk associated with environmental problems must be ecologically informed. Ecological literacy is necessary in order to both understand the nature of environmental problems and to respond effectively by designing sustainable ways of living. Embedding ecological literacy into design education is happening at the most progressive institutions – and yet for many others, sustainability education is still virtually absent from the curriculum. Progress is slow despite the fact that natural scientists warn that risks will escalate if we do not take dramatic action. Ecological literacy is a severe challenge as it disrupts educational …

Methodological Foundations Of Design Pedagogy: The Scholarship Of Teaching And Learning In Design, Nancy Blossom, Isil Oygur, Elizabeth Payne Tofte
Learn X Design Conference Series
Design as a discipline has been discussing its body of knowledge from different perspectives. An area that will bring new insights to such discussion is a better understanding of how the knowledge in teaching has been constructed and expanded. Using Maryellen Weimer's perspective and classification scheme on the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), this study aims to descriptively analyze the disciplinary pedagogy in design. The content of 174 pedagogical articles published from 1999 to 2010 in three design journals were analyzed. Findings show that in design, experience-based and research-based approaches to SoTL have almost equal significance. The plurality in …

I “Like” Design: Participatory Web Sites And Design Lessons For The Masses, Mary Anne Beecher
Learn X Design Conference Series
In North America, published advice literature and design-based television and radio programming served as prominent vehicles for communicating lessons about what or what not to do when making their own interior design decisions to the general public in the twentieth century. This passive approach to teaching the lessons of design has been supplemented in recent years by a more interactive model: the participatory web site. This research is a qualitative analysis of social media platforms, independent web sites and blogs that monitor and promote new contemporary works from around the world and this paper focuses on the content of four: …

The objective of this paper is to show how new technologies are related to the development process of product design by Brazilian designers.
Constitutive And Regulating Modes Of Learning In Creative Design Education, Elena Bartomeu Magaña, Octavi Rofes Baron
Constitutive And Regulating Modes Of Learning In Creative Design Education, Elena Bartomeu Magaña, Octavi Rofes Baron
Learn X Design Conference Series
The main aim of this research to analyse the learning process in order to recognize the characteristics currently associated with creating and/or creative students profiles. This paper focuses not much on the psychology of individuals as on the learning process as an intersubjective network of social relations. The theoretical framework considers holistic judgement and arithmetic assessment as evaluation modes and the relevance of fiction within the learning process. With these referents we have developed a polarized parametric system as a framework for mapping learning practices and teaching strategies. On one side we consider the actions related to the constitution of …
So What Do Design Students Really Think? Exploring Perceptions Of Learning Landscapes, Louise Barbour, Lindy Osborne, Glenda Caldwell
So What Do Design Students Really Think? Exploring Perceptions Of Learning Landscapes, Louise Barbour, Lindy Osborne, Glenda Caldwell
Learn X Design Conference Series
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, …

Connecting For Impact: Multidisciplinary Approaches To Innovation In Small To Medium Sized Enterprises (Smes), Marc Bailey, Neil Smith, Mersha Aftab
Learn X Design Conference Series
This paper reveals the methodology developed and adopted by groups of Multidisciplinary Design Innovation Masters students whilst working on projects with regional Small to Medium Sized Enterprises (SME’s). It exposes an eight-stage approach and shows how the creation of a ‘problem-space tapestry’ acts as a mediator between different disciplinary approaches. The authors used a combinationof observation, interview, post project-analysis and auto ethnographic reflection in order to uncover this process and to draw conclusions about the conditions that are necessary to support university based multidisciplinary design-led innovation projects of this type.

This study focuses on a specific Basic Design exercise, which has been conducted for four following semesters in the Department of Industrial Product Design at Istanbul Technical University (ITU), Turkey in 2010-2011. In this exercise, students were expected to design a Jury Invitation (card) collectively specialized for the specific semester. The exercise has four main phases to which students followed: Generating ideas in the form of models individually, voting, redesigning the top four or five collectively, and finalizing and reproducing. In this study, we aim to discuss the process of this exercise and the outcomes of it in the light …
The Music Without Melody Of John Cage, The Literature Without Words Of James Joyce, The Art Without A Subject Of Joseph Beuys And The Architecture Without Construction Of Enric Miralles, Irma Arribas
Learn X Design Conference Series
The contradictory is an appearance. Investigating John Cage, James Joyce, Joseph Beuys and Enric Miralles we get to learn that game, constriction, contradiction and chance are homogeneous strategies in the processes based on an artistic evolutionary commitment, being this a key factor to assume established creative processes in a critical realism and a relational aesthetic. Taking reality as it is, not escaping from what the voices mean to be a block for the development and even be open to the dialogue, assume the complexity of the real thing, not shutting oneself up in the known, but being open to the …

The paper discusses the evaluation of a master’s degree in design and communication in Spain, and the impact of the evaluation on the development for future of the programme. Five years ago the first Master’s Degree in Design and Communication (MUDIC) started at the Elisava design school in Barcelona. The social, labour, economic and academic situation has changed not only in our country but in many of those from where we receive our students. The premises with which the MUDIC was built must therefore be subject to revision. Now, half a decade later, the list of competencies sounds out of …

This paper discusses the development of an emergency shelter that can be inexpensively mass-produced and rapidly deployed to disaster relief sites. A seeming simple project wrapped in multiple shrouds of complexity, the project demanded that we not only design an object, but also devise the process for its production, determine how it would be constructed and sourced, identify the most efficient assembly sequence, and outline a strategy for the shelters’ distribution. The authors saw this project with its equal emphasis on design, assembly and production as the perfect opportunity to apply the concept of versioning, a strategy that borrows heavily …

The introduction of ICT into graphic design education has also brought in some challenges as far as the pedagogy is concerned, as it requires relearning, training and upgrading. Whereas modern practices and education is flouted with ICT, the pedagogy of graphic design education, especially in the developing economies, which is an adaptation of the Bauhaus theory, is in variance with current practices in both the profession and in its education. As part of an going stuHAGENdy, we discusses the literature of current graphic design practices as a contribution to the adaptation of Innovation Education (IE) in a specific Virtual Reality …

Drawing education strategies have been centred in specific skill development models regarding observational accuracy, creativity or expression. New design curricula require effectively integrated proposals that develop these dimensions simultaneously and are focused in the development of professional competencies. Drawing is a fundamental medium to accomplish this task. This paper presents current results of a simple methodology being implemented at OUR INSTITUTION for the research, evaluation and development of drawing in our design students based on the concept of Schema (Kant,1787)(Piaget, 1927)(Andersen, 1977)(Eco, 1998). The fundamental hypothesis of this research is that drawing practice and learning is based in the binomial …
