Dramatic Reflection: Enhancing Play Qualities In A Design Experiment For Inclusive Play Practices In School, Hanne Hede Jørgensen, Helle Marie Skovbjerg, Anne Louise Bang Jun 2022

Dramatic Reflection: Enhancing Play Qualities In A Design Experiment For Inclusive Play Practices In School, Hanne Hede Jørgensen, Helle Marie Skovbjerg, Anne Louise Bang

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Abstract: Starting from a codesign project on inclusive, pedagogical play practices in schools, this paper presents a phenomenological design experiment called Dramatic Reflection. The Dramatic Reflection experiment was created in collaboration with pedagogical teams in two Danish schools for the purpose of exploring pedagogical actions regarding different children’s ability to participate in play. Inclusive pedagogical actions are understood in a holistic and child-centered manner, and children’s play participation is understood as an essential part of their ability to ex-perience relational interdependence within the context of a school. This paper shows how a design experiment for play reflections, Dramatic Reflection, might, …


Camera-On/Camera-Off: Visibility In The Design Studio, James Benedict Brown Jun 2022

Camera-On/Camera-Off: Visibility In The Design Studio, James Benedict Brown

DRS Biennial Conference Series

What constitutes, defines or bounds the ‘studio’ in architecture education when it is wholly online? The design studio contributes to a very particular spatial con-struct in proximal teaching, one that has been challenged during the pandemic as educators have adopted distance and online learning and teaching. This paper presents a brief history of the design studio in architectural education and specu-lates about three dimensions of visibility therein. It contextualises the design studio against the broader higher education experiences of teaching online dur-ing the Covid-19 pandemic, in particular so-called ‘Zoom anxiety’ and ‘Zoom fa-tigue’ experienced by teachers and students. The paper …


Australian Architectural Education In The Pluriverse, Daniel Huppatz, Kirsten Day Jun 2022

Australian Architectural Education In The Pluriverse, Daniel Huppatz, Kirsten Day

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Among the design disciplines, architectural education in Australia has a unique con-straint: accreditation. On the one hand, competency requirements by accrediting bod-ies potentially limit an educator’s autonomy and curriculum development. On the oth-er, competencies define and regulate a profession by ensuring standard knowledge and skills. In this paper, we analyse the pedagogical and professional impacts of the 2021 “National Standard of Competencies” for Australian architects, particularly the inclusion of Indigenous Knowledge for the first time. Together with the recent Indige-nous Design Charter – Communication Design, these competencies signal a shift in Australian architectural and design education that suggests a vision …


Multidisciplinary Design For Intercultural Learning. Crafting Digital Services For A Multicultural Society, Irina Suteu, Margherita Pillan Oct 2013

Multidisciplinary Design For Intercultural Learning. Crafting Digital Services For A Multicultural Society, Irina Suteu, Margherita Pillan

Learn X Design Conference Series

Several literatures acknowledge that design education has been shifting from the mere training of young students to be skilled professionals to a more profound understanding of the social context in which the future designs will emerge (Norman, 2010) (Findeli, 2001)(Frascara, 2007). This comes from the increased understanding that in order to craft sustainable and viable products, being material or virtual, students have to refer in the first place to their living environment and feed their creativity with the challenges experienced in real life. For educators this starts firstly an investigation on how to guide their students in the exploration of …


“Not Two Weeks In A Place Tidying-Up The Paper Drawer” – An Employability Agenda Case Study, Ian James Sharman, Zoe Patterson Sep 2013

It seems improbable that a student might graduate from four years of fulltime education with an honours degree and, simultaneously, three years of work experience. Yet this is the premise of the Design Agency Project at Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh. It celebrates four years within the BA Graphic Design programme so 2012 provides a natural opportunity for reflection, marking the graduation of the first cohort introduced to the project at the commencement of their studies. Annually, the students of the programme’s senior year form several design agencies. They brand and advertise vacancies, for which students in junior …


Digital Design And Creativity: A Reflection On Curriculum Change In Landscape Architecture Education, Heike Rahmann, Jillian Waliss Sep 2013

Digital Design And Creativity: A Reflection On Curriculum Change In Landscape Architecture Education, Heike Rahmann, Jillian Waliss

Learn X Design Conference Series

In comparison to the allied design disciplines of architecture and urban design, the creative potentials of digital media have been slow to influence landscape architecture. Many landscape architects consider digital media to lack the intuitive capability of more traditional means of design such as hand drawing. This paper argues for the creative potential of digital technologies in design pedagogy of landscape architecture. Drawing on the experience of the first year of the professional Master of Landscape Architecture program at the University of Melbourne, we outline a shift in design curriculum from planimetric design techniques to a focus on three- dimensional …


Rethinking Pedagogy For Iterative Design Process Learning And Teaching, Jennifer Loy, Samuel Canning Aug 2013

Rethinking Pedagogy For Iterative Design Process Learning And Teaching, Jennifer Loy, Samuel Canning

Learn X Design Conference Series

Product Design as an academic discipline is a relative newcomer to higher education. As a result it has had to adapt to the teaching practices and organisation already in place in Universities. However, with the viability of the current business model of higher education under threat from economic pressures, the dominance of established practice could conceivably be challenged, suggesting the time is right for a review of Product Design education as it operates within academia. Product Design educators need to focus on developing an innovative, practical approach to the organisation of learning based on sound design practice-based principles and provide …


Pedagogy For Teaching Design – With An Emphasis On Sustainable Design, Stephanie Carleklev, Marie Sterte Jun 2013

Pedagogy For Teaching Design – With An Emphasis On Sustainable Design, Stephanie Carleklev, Marie Sterte

Learn X Design Conference Series

Teaching sustainability is not solely a question of providing relevant information; it is foremost about training students to meet the challenges of tomorrow. In design this can mean to shift the focus from material, form and function towards systems, correlation and time – a process supported both by how we teach as well as what we teach. But pedagogy still seems to be treated like a poor cousin to the more important design knowledge. This made us curious about the correlation between pedagogy and teaching design for sustainable change. By applying a study of Eilam and Trop (2011) onto the …


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 …

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 …
