- 6. DESIGN @ ACCAD •Individual contributor • Linear way of thinking • Simple solutions to complex problems • Consumption, Consumerism are driving forces
- 7. INTERIOR SPACE DESIGN •Linear • Lower left - area of interest • Discipline based • Patriarchal, profit-driven, and overconsumption • Talking at each other • Want to encourage feeling
- 8. PRODUCT DESIGN • Linear •Positive and negative • Lower left - area of interest • Trying to be interdisciplinary, but are we? • Risk can be positive or negative • Discipline-based
- 9. VISUAL COMM. DESIGN •Linear • Male-dominated, hierarchical • Moving from graphic design to visual communication • Everything is moving faster • Corporate/masculine making way for diversity/ collaboration
- 10. PAST / PRESENT •Past and present boards were done within departments • Not much disagreement within groups • No video of process - would have been helpful • Central themes: dictatorship or expert approach to problem solving exists but it is not the ideal (patriarchal) • Looking for the ideal of co-creation and collaboration
- 11. PAST / PRESENT •Connection between digital world and world of handskills - one should not exist without the other • Economicchanges are leading the way into some design knowledge - problems of consumption and consumerism • Faculty feels students do not share same experience of the past which affects their view of the future
- 12.
- 13. RESPECT FOR THEPAST • Past recalled as lead-in • Future in center - unknown • Possibilities feed into center • Fears in lower left • Can get caught in spiral or use it to build toward a goal • Design as umbrella concept - not individual disciplines
- 14. DREAMS & FEARS •Dreams central/fears outside • Proactive • Teacheras facilitator/ motivator • “Throughcollaboration we can make a more harmonious solution”
- 15. COMPONENTS OF AN UNKNOWN FUTURE • Future in center - unknown • Future categorized • Possibilities feed into center • Areas of the future - Technology, Social/Cultural Sustainability, Collaboration, Connectivity

- 18. FUTURE • Future is big and blurry • Many fears of the future including that we will rely too much on technology and the digital world - losing touch with the world of hand skills and brain power needed to design well • Dream of design education as being proactive, and leading the field, instead of reactive to the demands of professional practice • Future is much more unknown for them than for students

- 22. • Body languageand interaction tells a more complicated tale than what is presented in these posters. Interdisciplinary collaboration is still a challenge this group of faculty is facing. • Generally, thefaculty have a blurrier vision of the future than the students, but they have a longer relationship with the past. This may influence both groups’ interpretation of where the future is going. • Collaboration, connectivityand environmentalism are all viewed as important and positive, but when technology is introduced, the faculty view this more as an unknown. Students are more likely to view it as a positive in our future.
