National Conference on the Beginning Design Student
Conference Theme: 'Engaging Media'
Design emerges from the alignment of concept with matter, the merging of material with immaterial, and the definition of formal and spatial values through physical means. Throughout history, design has been shaped by the continual transformation of society, culture, technology, and ways of making. This intrinsic relationship a shifting terrain of variant influences-- illustrates the extent to which design education is inherently tied to innovation.
Expanding an awareness of the critical role of media and innovation in design education is most influential at the beginning. NCBDS2015 seeks to reveal how contemporary media are used to advance the canon of design education as well as its pedagogy, communication, technique and instruction. The conference seeks to identify and investigate the means, methods, and materials that guide beginning design education across the design disciplines. It will engage a discourse that considers historical and current methodologies, cross-disciplinary influences, and proposals that anticipate future media, materialities, technologies, and methods of making. The theme attempts to expand the role of media in the broadest sense, while investigating specificities relative to its impact on the design disciplines.
NCBDS2015 is particularly interested in pedagogies that blur the boundaries of design to provoke innovative interdisciplinary potentialities. The conference solicits papers, as well as exhibitions, installations, films, performances, workshops, and visual presentations. Topical sessions will be framed through history, pedagogy, and curriculum. Submissions should relate to the education of the beginning design student in authentic, innovative, and insightful ways. NCBDS2015 invites participation from all design disciplines including, but not limited to, architecture, interior architecture, interior design, industrial design, graphic design, fashion design, the fine arts, performance, and the humanities.
NCBDS 2015 invites worldwide participation from all design disciplines including, but not limited to, architecture, interior architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, industrial design, graphic design, fashion design, fine arts, performance, and the humanities. In an effort to engage various levels of beginning design scholarship at the conference, we invite five types of submissions:
FULL PAPERS
PAPER ABSTRACTS
ENGAGING MEDIA EXHIBITION
'INSTALL' INSTALLATION PROPOSALS
‘PECHA KUCHA’ tinyTED PRESENTATIONS
In 2015, the Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture and Houston--the fourth largest and most diverse city in the United States—will serve as the venue for NCBDS. The College offers a platform of integrated disciplines—architecture, space architecture, interior architecture, and industrial design—from which to negotiate the complexities of contemporary design practice. Its collaborative, interdisciplinary structure supports an inclusive environment for the conference—a forum in which to engage the agency of media in beginning design education across the disciplines.
Conference Chairs:
Meg Jackson, Gregory Marinic, Lannis Kirkland
