This document contains a collection of quotes from design thinkers and theorists about the nature and process of design. It includes definitions of design as a goal-directed, problem-solving activity; as changing existing situations into preferred ones; and as a creative process of bringing something new into existence. The document discusses design problems as "wicked" and ill-defined, and notes that designers invent the subject matter of their profession.

Exploring the Lived Experience of Learners: Broadening our Understanding of A...colin gray
In recent years, there has been increasing focus on aesthetic learning experiences. We propose expanding this focus to account for the felt learner experience, including a deeper understanding of how learners build learning spaces surrounding the formal curriculum. This study is based on a one-year ethnography of a design studio, documenting how students actively engaged in informal learning in support and reaction to the formal pedagogy. Implications for the design of learning experiences are discussed.
The document summarizes the history and operations of the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies (IAUS).

This document compares the architectural styles of the international firm SANAA and local Jordanian architect Sahel Al-Hiyari. Both architects employ clean modernist elements like glass, metal and open floor plans. Their works also share an emphasis on natural light and an inward-facing design that contrasts simple exteriors with rich interiors. While their backgrounds and locations differ, SANAA and Sahel Al-Hiyari demonstrate similarities in their effective blending of buildings with their surroundings and skillful mixture of materials.

DESIGN FOR AGEING ANG HAPPINESS By HKDILWLDESIS Lab, Social Design Research G...desis_uk
This project involved students from the Hong Kong Design Institute collaborating with elderly residents in Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong to address how the poorly designed physical environment affected residents' happiness. Students engaged with residents to understand what brought them joy and their creative solutions to communal spaces. Over a three-week period, students and residents collectively mapped the area, shared ideas, and made designs together, culminating in a community parade and exhibition to share their process and outcomes with the local communities. The goals were to trigger new ideas about design among residents and demonstrate social design approaches to students.

This document provides an overview and syllabus for the course "The Architecture of Conflict: Understanding Multi-Levels of Conflict in the Built Environment" to be taught at the University of British Columbia. The course aims to explore how architecture and the built environment both reflect and influence various levels of conflict through interdisciplinary study of related theories, policies, and case studies. Students will analyze the social impacts of architecture and identify the political factors that influence building and reconstruction. The course will combine lectures and discussions, field trips, student research presentations, and assignments including a mapping project, two response papers, and a final term project addressing a real-world architectural component of a conflict.
This document discusses issues with online entry-level Japanese courses. It outlines greetings and self-introduction projects assigned to students.

PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT
In today's fast paced society, time and speed are of the essence. To the
architect, arduously long projects are the norm. Creation is a patient
search that requires tremendous energy and resources. However, with the
hands of the professional Architect who knows his trade and discipline,
and with good understanding of the modern construction technology as
well as the state of art information and communication systems, it seems
that the Architect will prevail to create high quality Architecture in a timely
fashion.
3. "...All of our activities and meetings during our visit were facilitated by Jae Lee, who served – and continues to serve
– as the critical linkage between our office and our two associated offices in Seoul. Looking back now on the
competition process, it was this initial human contact, the sense of a whole team working together and, most
specifically, the efforts and remarkable effectiveness of Jae Lee – his continuous communication, his presence
during the competition in both Seoul and Boston, his familiarity with our practice by way of his education at Syracuse
and his double domicile in both Korea and the States -- that have all contributed to the success of this venture."
-Fred Koetter, "Some Thoughts on the Competition" –
"...Jae, as an architect, with a foot in both worlds, his native Korea and his adopted home in the United States,
allows us to make decisions and propositions that are in fact, common to both. We do, however, share a common
language, that of architecture. Our common background of education, Jae attended Syracuse University’s School of
Architecture where I later taught and I attended nearby Cornell University’s School of Architecture and later
Harvard’s Graduate School of Design where I was taught by Professor Werner Seligman, who was the long time
Dean of Syracuse’s program, gave us a built-in comfort level."
"...Jae was our lens into the culture. We prepared the basic design documents and renderings in New York and
shipped them to Seoul where the team, under Jae’s direction, assembled the final boards, explanatory booklets, and
models."
"... I was pleased to see the optimistic attitude and technical skills of the team of young architects that Jae had
assembled and their willingness to work to the bitter end to achieve design excellence."
"...To work in a foreign country with a culture vastly different from one’s own and have any expectation of achieving
something memorable, a well versed guide is needed. I think of Jae as a sort of architectural sherpa climbing the
mountain with us and making the difficult look easy. Jae Lee has served me and my American teams admirably and
we look forward to designing the actual buildings that make up the first phase of the Sewoon District 4.“
- John P. Reed A.I.A., "My Korean Odyssey - When it rains we all get wet" -
"Jae, Thanks for this however I think if you are not involved we are not involved. Lets look for something together.
Any hope on the horizon? Best wishes, Tom. PS When are you back in the US?"
