Academic Genealogy

Design

  • Conception and realization of new things
     
  • Synthesis of form and content
     
  • Process for solving problems that uses both artistic and scientific practices
     
  • At its core, design is the language of modeling; and it is learnable, as it is possible to develop students' aptitudes in the language of the sciences (numeracy) and the language of the humanities (literacy).

An outcome of a research project at the Royal College of Art on "Design in General Education" was the statement of a belief in a missing "third area" of education (1979).
