Projetos – Tools for Design Education

Design is a practice-based discipline, which is reflected in its education methodology. In this context, accessing complex knowledge might prove challenging, since designers think and work in a predominantly visual way. However, being able to master precise subjects offers a unique advantage in design in contrast with a dispersed and superficial approach to knowledge. This project aims to assess and illustrate how education can benefit from using design tools as a didactic way of conveying complex knowledge and of making it actionable.
