Materiality Of Space And Time In The Virtual Design Studio, Ruth Neubauer, Christoph H. Wecht Sep 2021

Materiality Of Space And Time In The Virtual Design Studio, Ruth Neubauer, Christoph H. Wecht

Learn X Design Conference Series

Digital structures as well as time can be described as crucial material affordances of the virtual design studio space. We question the notion that digital spaces are inherently immaterial and intangible. We challenge the concept of presence and flexibility in the context of the virtual space, and claim that digital infrastructures can be as materially inflexible as physical worlds. Simultaneously we argue for the potential of understanding virtual spaces beyond binary conceptions of presence/absence. We use concepts of practice and materiality to analyse virtual spaces as distributed spatiotemporal structures that can be designed to afford flexibility. We are interested in …

Siloed In Breaking Silos: A Case Study Of Interdisciplinary Curriculum (Mis)Alignment, Jia Ying Chew Sep 2021

Siloed In Breaking Silos: A Case Study Of Interdisciplinary Curriculum (Mis)Alignment, Jia Ying Chew

Learn X Design Conference Series

Higher Education Institutes globally are rapidly developing inter/ transdisciplinary education initi-atives at varying scales. However, several operational challenges persist in interdisciplinary teach-ing as there are few incentives to share resources or engage in discourses for mutual decon-struction of knowledge frameworks. Nonetheless, collaboration and communication are vital to bridge the varying epistemic frameworks when different disciplines are brought together. Espe-cially because the way individuals understand concepts contain traces of disciplinary- specifici-ties; without clarity through a common platform, the messiness is reflected in the curriculum de-sign, development and delivery of interdisciplinary courses. Reflecting upon a case study of an interdisciplinary graduate programme …

Reframing Ageing In Design Education: A Case Study, Emma Gieben-Gamal Sep 2021

Reframing Ageing In Design Education: A Case Study, Emma Gieben-Gamal

Learn X Design Conference Series

People in the later stages of life make up one of the most differentiated and experientially rich groups in society which should make design for an ageing population one of the most stimulating areas for design practice. Yet ‘old’ age in the UK is largely framed as a problem to be solved; a position that design often (unconsciously) serves to perpetuate and reinforce. This case study will outline the context for an undergraduate course that seeks to overturn this negative frame that not only ‘others’ older people but also begets a paradoxical self-othering of our future selves. Picking up on …

Studio education focuses on active learning and assessment that is embedded in students’ exploration of ill-structured problems. Critique is a central component of this experience, providing a means of sensemaking, assessment, and socialization. These critique sessions encompass multiple types of interactions among students and instructors at multiple levels of formality. In most design programs, these practices have been situated in a physical studio environment—until they were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a group of educators and design students, we used this disruption as an opportunity to reimagine means of critique engagement. In this paper, we document the creation, piloting, …
