中国设计教育探索：从课堂到工作坊

THOUGHTS ON DESIGN EDUCATION IN CHINA: FROM CLASSROOM TO WORKSHOP

作为2018全国学生校园营造联盟暑期Mapping&Making工作坊的特邀指导教师,北京大学李迪华、Mapping工作坊创始人何志森、同济大学刘悦来和华中科技大学汪原尝试为中国传统设计教学模式注入新的思路。在访谈中,4位老师表达了自己对目前中国设计学科的教育体制和教学环境的看法。他们一致认为,中国设计教育已经面临着现实危机,不论是高校教师还是学生都需要意识到改变的迫切性;目前设计教育改良尚未得到足够重视,学校间、教师间对于教育意义、教育未来的讨论尚未建立。他们试图以工作坊教学为契机,让高校师生们看到设计教育的更多可能,同时培养学生的观察力、探索欲、好奇心、自信心和独立思考及实证能力。

Li Dihua from Peking University, Jason Ho, Founder of the Mapping Workshop, Liu Yu[ai from Tongji University, and Wang Yuan from Huazhong University of Science and TechnoLogy were guest instructors at the 2018 Mapping ＆ Making Summer Workshop of National CoLLege Student Campus Building ALliance. They each work on bringing new ideas to traditional design education. In this interview they shared their opinions on current design education and teaching in China. They bel.ieve that design education in China is currently at a point of crisis where both instructors and students need to be aware of the urgency to change. However, tittle attention has been given to the improvement of design education, nor has a discourse to explore a future direction been built. The interviewees approached the workshop as an opportunity for students and educators to see new possibilities in design education. MeanwhiLe, they hope to develop students＇ curiosity and confidence in observation, exploration, independent thinking, and evidential design.
