Van Gezel tot Meester

Learning to design is a mattter of doing and becoming aware what to do. Teaching designing is a matter of making the design process explcit and training meaningful actions and skills. Both are main subject in this MSc 2.

The design process and the didactics of design are studied and practiced at the hand of a frame work of 5 generic elements. Basically, designing is a process of experimentation (exploring and testing), in a laboratory (sketching and modelling). The designer has to address aspects in different domains (form, material, function and context), using common known and proved knowledge, often in the form of patterns and principles (frame of reference). In the end (s)he comes up with a coherent meaningful, adequate elaborated design, addressing the specific design situation at hand.
