Contribution of Futures Studies to Industrial Design Studio Education

Journal Title: Online Journal of Art and Design - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1

Abstract

Designers should keep up with the pace of change and have the power of directing change to the desirable. In order to design forward product/services in a continuously changing world, designers should have “future vision”. Futures Studies is considered a practical way to help designers develop the capacity for future vision. The main research problems in this study are; what kind of problems do students confront when they undertake future oriented design projects? and how can the implementation of futures research methods in studio education be beneficial for design students?
