The story and teachings of one of the world' s most creative design schools, as told by its teachers, alumni, and student projects - the ideal book for educators and students alike, posing the question ' How should design be taught today? ' Swiss university ECAL is widely considered to be among the leading art and design institutions of the past two decades. Here, for the first time, ECAL' s teaching methods are revealed to a wider readership. The book poses the question ' How should design be taught today? ' to select designers, critics, and writers, and the answers highlight the school' s unique approach to design pedagogy: encouraging individual and personal styles, and rigorously pushing them to develop into their most coherent forms. This is the only book to explain ECAL' s innovative teaching methods, which encourage students to be business minded as well as creative.
