De Braun-Feldweg Preis toont het beste van de Duitse designcultuur. Waar ter wereld schrijven designstudenten meer dan tienduizend woorden? Waar ter wereld is er de rust in de designcultuur om over teksten te spreken? Teksten te vergelijken en teksten te beoordelen? Het gaat hier trouwens niet om een typisch studentenprobleem. Voor designprofessionals geldt hetzelfde; ook zij schrijven niet graag. De hele beroepsgroep lijkt dyslexie te hebben. In geen ander vakgebied zijn zoveel ghostwriters en catalogusschrijvers te vinden als in de designwereld, want de designers zelf kunnen het niet. Op designscholen komt relatief veel dyslexie voor; ze hebben een aantrekkingskracht op mensen met een slecht gevoel voor taal.

Designing Designeducation at Miami/Basel
Leading design teachers Ron Arad and Daniel Charny, who have taught at the Royal College of Art in London and Jurgen Bey, from the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam, winner of the BE OPEN Prize, came together today to discuss their approaches to education. The talk was moderated by former Professor of design and architecture schools in Berlin and Rotterdam, Lucas Verweij and hosted by BE OPEN as part of their collaboration with Design Miami/ Basel.

This is an extract of the interview, the whole interview can be read here
As part of the 2012 festival DMY Berlin has hosted a one day workgroup looking at design education. It goes without saying that the fact that DMY Berlin has staged such an event is interesting. And so to learn a little more we caught up with project initiator Lucas Verweij, and started with the obvious question; how did the event arise?
Lucas Verweij: Design education is a booming business. In western Europe Masters degrees pop-up everywhere every day, while in India, China or Eastern Europe the number of Bachelor programmes is also exploding. Which means there is currently a global explosion in the number of design graduates, and I don’t think its a temporary explosion, rather the indications are that the numbers will continue to rise and rise. In 20 years probably everyone will study design!

And not only is the number of courses rising, but ever more subjects connect themselves with design, for example, communication studies, marketing, technical subjects, they have all started design departments or at least design courses, obviously in areas relevant to the main subject.
