Design education in architecture and allied disciplines is the
cornerstone of design professions that contribute to shaping the
built environment of the future. In this book, design education is
dealt with as a paradigm whose evolutionary processes, underpinning
theories, contents, methods, tools, are questioned and critically
examined. It features a comprehensive discussion on design
education with a focus on the design studio as the backbone of that
education and the main forum for creative exploration and
interaction, and for knowledge acquisition, assimilation, and
reproduction. Through international and regional surveys, the
striking qualities of design pedagogy, contemporary professional
challenges and the associated sociocultural and environmental needs
are identified. Building on twenty-five years of research and
explorations into design pedagogy in architecture and urban design,
this book authoritatively offers a critical analysis of a
continuously evolving profession, its associated societal processes
and the way in which design education reacts to their demands.
Matters that pertain to traditional pedagogy, its characteristics
and the reactions developed against it in the form of pioneering
alternative studio teaching practices. Advances in design
approaches and methods are debated including critical inquiry,
empirical making, process-based learning, and Community Design,
Design-Build, and Live Project Studios. Innovative teaching
practices in lecture-based and introductory design courses are
identified and characterized including inquiry-based, active and
experiential learning. These investigations are all interwoven to
elucidate a comprehensive understanding of contemporary design
education in architecture and allied disciplines. A wide spectrum
of teaching approaches and methods is utilized to reveal a theory
of a 'trans-critical' pedagogy that is conceptualized to shape a
futuristic thinking about design teaching. Lessons learned from
techniques and mechanisms for accommodation, adaptation, and
implementation of a 'trans-critical' pedagogy in education are
conceived to invigorate a new student-centered, evidence-based
design culture sheltered in a wide variety of learning settings in
architecture and beyond.
