New Views in the blogs…

August 13th, 2008 by miek

Jonathan Baldwin has been blogged about his cluster’s New Views discussion, along with video. From another post about New Views Graphic design is dead. Long live… what?

We had been looking for a paradigm shift and this was it: we currently see design education as teaching people to design. Instead we want to teach people through design.

And from Laura Chessin’s post, Notes From New Views:

I suggested we might just be asking questions, but even as we agreed we began to make some definitive statements, e.g.: interdisciplinarity is inherent in practice but it is in pedagogy that we feel there can be enhanced intentionality and a richer theoretical and methodological framework.

Russell Kerr, another delegate, has been blogging about the conference. From WOW:

I have just been at the New Views conference in London for the past couple of days, what a great experience I really feel like it was a moment where a meaningful shift in thinking has occurred. I know it has for me.
