Topic: A New Innovative Method of Teaching Foundation Design

Abstract: Study aim. In this paper I will argue and discuss a teaching process of fundamental design. When discussing initial instruction of basic tools for design thinking, I find it most appropriate to begin with a method that belongs to the world of art. Method. In my experience, when studies are launched with planning-oriented thinking as their basis, it is far more difficult to subsequently adopt conceptual thinking. By contrast, when storytelling, poetics, and conceptualizations are introduced at the outset as the foundation of design work, the result is a stable infrastructure for subsequent development of planning-oriented thinking. These observations encouraged me to develop a joint freshman program for all design departments when I served as Dean of the Faculty of Design at the Holon Institute of Technology. Until then, departments conducted separate programs that began emphasizing their particular respective professional principles as early as the first year of each program. By contrast, the joint first-year program established students’ common foundation of theoretical conceptual thinking and initial design language tools of expression concerning line, composition, and form. In a global world where cities buildings and objects are the same all over, we claim for cosmopolitanism as universality plus variance. One of the fundamentals claim of this abstract and the book Foundation Design Studio is that in a global world, where distances are reduced to the time it takes to send an E-Mail message, a world where there are no apparent differences between individuals, communities and societies, where all of us are, apparently, universal-one should pay closer attention to the differences between cultures, to the difference of the other, to the fact that all cultures, despite their differences and dissimilarities, represent human values and unique traditions.

Topic: On Your Way to U.S. Colleges and Universities: Your Thinking is More Important than Your Score

Abstract: Misco’s lecture titled “On Your Way to U.S. Colleges and Universities: Your Thinking is More Important than Your Score” highlights three essential components of higher education in the United States: questioning, reflective inquiry within a tradition of pragmatism, and demonstrating understanding. Based on his new book What you need to know to be an undergraduate in the U.S. (2017) (Beijing, China: Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press), Prof. Misco will provide a useful framework for thinking about learning and assessment, as well as concrete examples for gaining admission to the best universities and succeeding once admitted.
