The Future of Design Education | BODW 2022
The new generation of designers are going to be tasked to respond to social, technical, and environmental problems, and find solutions that transcend boundaries and involve actors from various sectors. How should design education cope with these new challenges? What changes to the system and infrastructure can be made? More importantly, how do we expand future designers’ capabilities and encourage innovation?
The studio is where ideas are generated, collaborators come together, and working methods take shape. More than a space, the studio represents a mindset and a vantage point. Two influential design teams, based in Amsterdam and Hong Kong, respectively, discuss the importance of studio practice to their work, highlighting how the process of creating is intertwined with conceptual aims.
