DESIGN OF THE TIMES CONFERENCE
5 October 1994, North Stafford Hotel, Stoke on
Trent, Staffs UK
Design in the 1990s is taking on new responsibilities,
methods and directions. It is being driven by a far stronger
knowledge base. This conference addresses some of the
implications that this has for design research.
THEMES
Conference introduction
Researching the context
Research for management
Researching lunch
Research in Education
Researching the culture
Communicating research
The School of Design & Ceramics
The School has a unique combination for education in design.
Our BA (Hons) design course is one of the largest integrated
courses in Europe, with opportunities for 170 students per year
to specialise in audio visual communication, ceramics, electronic
media, glass, graphics, surface pattern, product design and photography.
At post-graduate level courses are offered in Design Management
(with a unique option for Craft Management), Ceramics and
Computing for Design. At the recent Young Designers show, three
of our students won top awards, more than any other university.
Design Studies Division
The Design Studies programme focuses on Design as a subject of
enquiry by concentrating on its locus in industry, commerce and
society. It seeks to enable students to analyse, appraise and
evaluate design and its influence in its widest possible context.
Design studies is taught throughout the degree course culminating
in the completion of Design Studies report by our final year
students complete. The breadth of design related subjects
researched is wide. Valuable contacts are often made and insights
gained, enhancing studio work and giving focus to the types of
jobs they will pursue on graduation.
WHY THIS CONFERENCE IS IMPORTANT
We are building a lively research culture within the School.
We seek to bring industry and academia together. We want to
demystify design. We want to show that design can be fun, serious,
wacky, peculiar, different, but also accessible, essential and
worthy of consideration.
