Collaboration in Design Education: Case Studies & Teaching Methodologies

by Marty Maxwell Lane, Rebecca Tegtmeyer

Overview

The book is a comprehensive guide for students and practitioners who want to take a collaborative approach in their design practice. Authors Marty Maxwell Lane and Rebecca Tegtmeyer introduce a range of case study collaborations, both face-to-face and remote, and between individuals and groups. The book addresses the basics of getting started, planning ahead and reflecting on outcomes, alongside the issues that come up in collaborative work, e.g. cross-cultural exchange, or managing roles within a diverse team. Editorial commentary runs throughout the chapter introductions and case studies, with informatics illustrating key concepts and expanded 'call out' points in the martin. More complex case studies offer a 'deep dive' section to explain and share further details of the featured projects.
