interdisciplinary design education . . .

in order to move toward the future, universities need to have a willingness to foster interdisciplinary education. interdisciplinary studies thrive on creative convergence. departments, instructors and their students also need to be able to blur traditional boundaries in the benefit of educational exploration. still in a formative stage, the ID curriculum at the OTH: university of applied sciences regensburg is growing towards an interdisciplinary mixture of artistic endeavour, architecture, engineering and design. the images are from design one (with instructors markus emde, pavel zverina & matthew burger), an interdisciplinary introduction to design / architecture for first year students as well as iD basics (with instructor carly brandelius schmitt) an interdisciplinary introduction to art / design fundamentals . . .
