This project is based on Stuart Baley’s text “Towards a Critical Faculty”. After reading the text we were left with some questions, which we managed to summarize in the question “What’s the purpose of Design Education?". We still felt the need to further refer to the initial questions, and so the project was divided in three cores:

Should teaching be more towards small-c culture, or big-C culture?
Is a broader encompassing of other social studies fields necessary and desirable for art / design education?
The question now is what should we teach, what should they learn?

Even though they’re presented in three different books (in the printed edition), these cores are not independent from each other and the relation between them is not only possible but also desirable.
The information is also available in a digital publication created with Adobe Publishing Suite.

Project done in collaboration with Raquel Russo.
