BRIDGING PRACTICE: Design lessons for knowledge exchange between students and research in circular design
Year: 2021
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Albert Einstein is famously quoted saying "I never teach my pupils; I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn".This paper explores the conditions and adaptive methods used by practice design researchers to enable circular design knowledge exchange between a university research community and the student body.This paper explores and draws on the experience of the authors across three academic years (2018-2020) as PhD practice researchers at Centre for Circular Design (CCD).It unpicks the adaptive practice research approaches used by the authors which enabled them to set up and deliver a series of activities under the 'Circular Design Lab' an education and teaching platform at CCD.Through its creation it supported a thriving community of circular designers.Using reflective practice, the paper explores the authors practice design methods to create a bridge between emerging research practice and the taught courses.
