New Institutions
Shifting Design Programs (BFA or MFA?)
SAIC: School of the Art Institute of Chicago
- Rise of MultiDisciplinary Design
- Ask any student or faculty member about interior design education today and invariably you’ll hear about interdisciplinary collaboration
- —the merging of specialties
- —and professional interaction and experience.
- Students want real world experiences.
- The time for specialists has passed, and the job market of today is demanding people with unique combinations of skill sets and experiences
SCAD: Savannah College of Art and Design
- Interdisciplinary Collaboration Studios
- Interdisciplinary collaborative studios enable students from various departments from around the university to engage in design thinking and creative problem solving
- These academic exercises prepare students to enter the work force ready to lead or contribute as a team member in real world,collaborative settings
The University of Cincinnati
- Interdisciplinary Collaboration
- Reevaluation of curriculum design found at the School rather than individual Program level
- Switched to the Semester system in 2012
- Each semester is conceptually divided: form, semiotics, content, exploration, research, usability, synthesis
- 6th semester course block unifies interdiciplinaruy collaboration and solves logistical problem of
- differing class times and schedules throughout different disciplines
Carnegie Mellon: School of Design, Mechanical Engineering, School of Business
- Inter School Collaboration requirement
- One of a few programs that are placing an emphasis on the relationship between business and design
- Learning management through terms of design problem solving
California College of the Arts
- “Smart SPaces for Learning” Course
- Unites students from multple programs to designers who see space as a element and designers
- who see record as a element to redefine classrooms with new forms of spatial, material, virtual, and human/computer interaction.
- Encourages reevaluation of theory of design/ incorporates progress of technology
North Carolina State University
- Students learn to be critical users
- Teaches students to resolve tech issues not before a problem with traditional medium (ex. difference between reading a publication on a screen vs. print)
- designed to teach student how to anticipate different behaviors from readers
- Carnegie Mellon: 1st Year Drawing and Visualization Studio
- Takes students from basic drawing to animation
- Demonstrates how to see form through use of different tools and how tech can be used in the future
Dave Malouf
- calls for accesability to resources
- redesign of the apprenticeship model
- balance between formal and informal learning to accommodate incfreased need for communication between communities
- discusses the need for the designer to become a reinvented rennaissance entity
- 1. We cannot relinquish the craft of making forms as part of the designer’s role at the executive and at the strategic level.
- 2. Technology has accelerated cultural complexity forcing us to examine relationships between use, consumption, social behaviour and individual meaning.
- 3. With these changes, come complex environmental, political and economic challenges that we cannot ignore.
- 4. We must rebuild the apprenticeship model from early preindustrial applied arts in order to supplement lifelong design education.
