Who Is The Designer?: An Experience Of Collectivism In Basic Design Course, Humanur Bagli, Koray Gelmez May 2013

Who Is The Designer?: An Experience Of Collectivism In Basic Design Course, Humanur Bagli, Koray Gelmez

Learn X Design Conference Series

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 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 …


New Challenges, New Strategies In Research Applied To Design And Communication, Juan Arrausi May 2013

New Challenges, New Strategies In Research Applied To Design And Communication, Juan Arrausi

Learn X Design Conference Series

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 …


Versioning: Full-Scale Prototyping As A Prototype For Design Education?, Robert M. Arens, Edmond P. Salikis May 2013

Versioning: Full-Scale Prototyping As A Prototype For Design Education?, Robert M. Arens, Edmond P. Salikis

Learn X Design Conference Series

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 …


Ict, Ideation Pedagogy And Innovation Education: Setting A New Paradigm In Graphic Design Education, Edward Appiah, Johannes Cronjé May 2013

Ict, Ideation Pedagogy And Innovation Education: Setting A New Paradigm In Graphic Design Education, Edward Appiah, Johannes Cronjé

Learn X Design Conference Series

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 …


Teaching And Evaluation Strategies For Drawing In Design Education: The Use Of Drawing Schemata As A Tool For The In-Class Development Of Drawing For Design, Nora Karina Aguilar, Jose Luis Hernandes Azpeitia May 2013

Teaching And Evaluation Strategies For Drawing In Design Education: The Use Of Drawing Schemata As A Tool For The In-Class Development Of Drawing For Design, Nora Karina Aguilar, Jose Luis Hernandes Azpeitia

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 …
