Description - Contemporary Design Education in Australia: Creating Transdisciplinary Futures by Lisa Scharoun

New essays on education for the future of the design industry.

This book offers a range of approaches to teaching higher education design students to learn to design collaboratively and creatively, through transdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, cross-disciplinary, and interdisciplinary learning experiences. It highlights that the premise of traditional disciplinary silos does little to advance the competencies needed for contemporary design and non-linear career paths and emphasizes the importance of higher education being responsive to changes in society, including fluctuating market demands, economic variations, uncertainties, and globalization. Chapters highlight approaches that address this changing landscape, to meet student, industry, and societal needs and reflect a range of design education contexts in which the authors have taught, with a focus on experiences at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, Australia, but also including collaborations and comparative discussions elsewhere in Australia and globally, including Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the United States.
