How do I teach design? Why
is listening so important? What can we learn from other disciplines and cultures and from each other?
Answers to these
and other questions are offered by Sven Ingmar Thies and his 24 interviewees, who are all united by a single wish: that their
students should experiment, experience, and grow as designers. This book allows teachers of graphic design, design theory,
game development, industrial design, and behavioral research from China, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, Austria, and the USA
to each have their say.
The in-depth conversations are complemented by a comprehensive reflection and sample assignments.
This is a book for teachers and students alike that offers insights into the experiences of others, as well as inspiration
for teaching, learning, and professional practice.
