SUGGESTED VIEWING: “Hybridity as a culture of making”

Maya Ober and Nicole Schneider from the Institute of Industrial Design, presented in September at the “Design Challenges Conference” at Barreira Arte + Diseño Center in Valencia, Spain.

Under the topic “Hybridity as a culture of making”, their lecture explores what new approaches towards design education can be applied to foster a contextually based practice within a post-industrial context, using an experimental design course directed at industrial design undergraduate students as a study case. Understanding design as a fundamental trait of being human and a key factor influencing the quality of life they argue for design education informed by both practical and theoretical research to encourage cultural hybridity.
