Routledge Design Education - Learning, Teaching and Researching

Design Education by Philippa Lyon offers a deep look into the complexities of learning and teaching within design disciplines. By adopting an outsider perspective, this book explores why design is such a compelling subject for both educators and students in higher education. Through an ethnographic approach, the text examines more than 40 specific projects that span various design fields. Readers will find insights into how design students use archives and museum collections, as well as how specific technologies can be used to improve teaching and learning outcomes. The scope of the research covers diverse areas including architecture, 3D design, and fashion. This book serves as a valuable resource for those studying or teaching design subjects in a university setting. It provides a detailed look at the practicalities and possibilities of design pedagogy through real-world data and academic research.
