Architectural design education: in varietate unitas

van Dooren, E.J.G.C. (author), van Merriënboer, J. (author), Boshuizen, H.P.A. (author), van Dorst, M.J. (author), Asselbergs, M.F. (author)

A fascinating and rich landscape of personal views and approaches can be seen in architectural design and in architectural design education. This variation may be confusing for students. This paper focuses on the question: is the framework of generic elements that we developed for explicating the design process helpful to compare the...

Effects of Convergent and Divergent Feedback on Creative Thinking During Children’s Design Processes

Schut, A. (author), Klapwijk, R.M. (author), Gielen, M.A. (author)

This paper explores patterns in the feedback preceding instances of design fixation in children (age 9 to 11) carrying out a co-design project. Our goal is to find ways to improve the early mastering of their divergent (DT) and convergent thinking (CT) skills, which in turn will help the children to develop their creative abilities. Previous...

Pioneering online design teaching in a mooc format: Tools for facilitating experiential learning

Daalhuizen, J.J. (author), Schoormans, J.P.L. (author)

Providing online design education offers a unique opportunity for learning, by providing high quality learning experiences to distributed audiences for free. It has its challenges as well, particularly when the aim is use ‘active learning’ strategies (Biggs & Tang, 2011), which are necessary when teaching design. In this paper, we report...

Design requirements to educate and facilitate junior design professionals to reflect more effectively on critical situations and conflicts at work

van Onselen, L. (author), de Lille, C.S.H. (author), Snelders, H.M.J.J. (author)

Junior designers are not trained to cope with critical situations and conflict at work. Most design schools do not educate their design students to prepare them for (potential) conflict. As a result, junior designers often do not have conflict-handling skills to handle critical situations and conflicts. While some tools and methods exist to...

Application of 3D scanning in design education

Lee, Wonsup (author), Molenbroek, J.F.M. (author), Goto, L. (author), Jellema, A.H. (author), Song, Y. (author), Goossens, R.H.M. (author)

Three-dimensional scanning technologies have brought great opportunities in ergonomic and product design education as well as research. Not only the anthropometric size but also the shape and posture of the human, form of a product, or interactions between the human and product obtained based on the 3D scanning have been usefully applied in...

The Circular Economy Concept in Design Education: Enhancing Understanding and Innovation by Means of Situated Learning

Wandl, Alex (author), Balz, Verena Elisabeth (author), Qu, L. (author), Furlan, C. (author), Arciniegas Lopez, G.A. (author), Hackauf, U.D. (author)

The concept of circular economy (CE) is high on the agenda of many planning agencies in European countries. It has also become a prominent issue in European academic education institutions. It is expected that spatial planning and design can support and add the spatial quality dimension of such a transition towards CE. However, incorporating the...

Reframing the Design Process: Integrating Goals, Methods and Manifestation into the Co-Evolution Model

Storm, R.M.R. (author), van Maanen, Jeffrey (author), Gonçalves, M. (author)

In their early years of education, design students may experience difficulties in reframing design problems. Since reframing is linked to creativity, this may be problematic. While there are some models available to describe the reframing process, it is yet unclear how they are supporting design students. This study concerned the development and...

Teaching history for design at TU Delft: exploring types of student learning and perceived relevance of history for the architecture profession

Hein, C.M. (author), van Dooren, E.J.G.C. (author)

Historical investigation anchors architectural and urban practice. Analyzing two sets of questionnaires distributed in different class settings, this paper explores two questions: how do design students currently learn about architectural history, and how do they translate this knowledge into their design practice? First, tentative conclusions...

Framing and tracing human-centered design teams' method selection: an examination of decision-making strategies

Rao, Vivek (author), Kim, E.Y. (author), Kwon, Jieun (author), Agogino, Alice M. (author), Goucher-Lambert, Kosa (author)

Designers’ choices of methods are well known to shape project outcomes. However, questions remain about why design teams select particular methods and how teams’ decision-making strategies are influenced by project- and process-based factors. In this mixed-methods study, we analyze novice design teams’ decision-making strategies underlying 297...
