Professionalization Of The Discipline Of Interior Architecture: Development Of A ‘Ready To Use Concept’ To Intertwine Research And Education, Katelijn Quartier
Learn X Design Conference Series
Within the discipline of interior architecture, this paper takes the example of the specific domain of retail design to illustrate the interrelatedness between research and education at our faculty. We will elaborate on how we came to develop a ‘ready to use concept’, con-taining design guidelines and tools, that support students in making informed design deci-sions. As such, based on several workshops and an extensive literature review, eight tools were developed alongside 127 design guidelines. The tools and guidelines are inherently part of the retail design studio which is taught by a practitioner and an academic trained de-signer in order …

As globalization deepens and cultural exchange becomes more frequent, the image has become an important channel of international cultural exchange and communication. As a form of light and shadow of contemporary art, it has its own advantages compared with literal communication. The application of lens language in image art and the expression of colour and emotion can bring a strong visual impact, and effectively arouse people's imagination and thoughts. Thus, the image has become a typical symbol of the arts in this era. How the courses of visual communication design adapt to the demands of this era is an important …

As design educators, we feel it’s imperative to prepare students for the wicked problems of the 21st century. Design Futures, the briefing papers released by AIGA in 2018, anticipates a complex future where design solutions must be increasingly open-ended to accommodate many layers of uncertainty. In an effort to model such unpredictable constraints, we developed the Mash Maker project, a design charrette that explores the collision of time and form through a system of carefully devised prompts. The conditions encouraged first-year design students to utilize improvisation methods, iteration, and collaboration while underscoring the value of process over outcome. Music provided …

Problem Framing helps designers define issues they want to focus on and make issues more focused and addressable. In Industrial design and several other design disciplines, designers use ‘pain points’ or points of friction in the user experience to support problem framing and to elucidate areas where they can intervene and improve the experience of the person they are designing for. Many design challenges start with a search for ‘pain points’ that designers can solve. This is a specific and useful type of problem frame. However, this can lead to an excessive focus on (and even fetishization of) the pain …

A number of events led to the development of the International Conference for Design Education Researchers. One of these was a declaration by the Dean of the Design School where I worked at the time that academics in the design field should not be pursuing design education research. I felt this was a poorly conceived idea as most design academics are concerned about their student's learning and thus would be motivated to become acquainted with practice-based research to evidence their ‘good’ pedagogical practices. Second, was the realisation that, in the UK, design education research was seen as uncritical and thus …

I Can And I Will: A Study Of ‘Grit’ In A Collaborative Team Learning Studio Pedagogical Culture, Zhengping Liow
Learn X Design Conference Series
Despite its long history, architecture education remains under-theorised. Design educators’ faith in the ubiquitous Master and Apprentice (M&A) pedagogy is increasingly worrying where knowledge is tacitly transferred in asymmetrical power structured environments through the ‘Hidden Curriculum’. Some students thrived. While some did not. Were some learners grittier than others? Grit (passion and perseverance for long-term goals) was often used as predictors of academic success. The experimental heterarchical Collaborative Team Learning (CTL) studio pedagogical culture departs from the ‘Mystery-as-Mastery’ authoritarian one-on-one (OOO) pedagogy, characterised by the tutor-induced cross-pollinative peer-to-peer formative reviews in normalising daily ‘setbacks’ relating to their individual projects. The …

As part of the ‘software evolution’ (Mens, 2008), acoustic rather than visual interfaces are increasingly developing into the decisive contact point in the interaction between the product or service and the user. Voices, ‘VUI’s, play an important role the design of communication, yet communication designers are not yet firmly established in this field and, for example, the process of voice selection is often described as a particular hurdle especially when the selection needs to align with strategic parameters of a brand. This raises several questions: What role can communication designers play in the future in the complex field of designing …

This paper proposes a new implementation of video games to be used as an architectural design education tool within design studios. There are studies which include video games in design educa-tion, however, they include video games either as mere representational media, or simplified de-sign environments, or as just visualization tools. Video games’ structures provide a ground for de-signing with constraints to find solutions to ill-defined design problems with a trial-and-error pro-cess. As an addition to traditional master and apprentice model of learning in the studio, video games can reduce the workload of the tutors and allow them to focus on …
