Evolving design education: mapping the integration of emerging technologies

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT: This study employs a hybrid bibliometric analysis and the TCM (Theory, Context, Method) framework to examine the integration of emerging technologies like AR, VR, and AI in design education. Utilizing VOSviewer and CiteSpace on Web of Science data, it identifies pivotal research clusters and trending topics. The analysis reveals a shift toward immersive representational ecosystems and highlights critical research gaps. Consequently, the paper proposes a preliminary conceptual framework for collaborative design, offering a roadmap for pedagogical and curriculum transformation.
