它山之石:英国工业设计教育的启示

Inspiration from British industrial design education

英国当代工业设计教育发展的一大趋势是学科边界的日益模糊,在教育经费投入不足的状况下,英国的设计教育涌现出三类应对新举措:新型设计研究方法的运用;关注用户超越产品功能之上的需求;以用户与设计师之间不断变化的关系为核心。这些新举措为我国工业设计教育的创新发展提供了可资借鉴的新思路与新视角。

In recent years, it is very encouraging to see the blurring of boundaries in education between design and other disciplines. In the face of budget reductions for higher education there have appeared three new countermeasures involving the application of new design research methods, the focus on supra functional factors and the center on new relationships between designers and product users. These methods provide new angles of view for China’s innovation of industrial design education.
