Abstract
Since its creation that the design discipline has been expanding its space and therefore encompassing issues of a crescent complexity. That growth has an impact in the way designers work and will profoundly affect design education. There is a new set of challenges which designers are facing today in their professional practice, challenges that require new skills, new ways of thought and new approaches. It is then essential to prepare the new generation of designers for these constant changes enabling them to work with emergent business models, new design markets, and new ways of working.
To assess these issues, a review of the most relevant literature was carried out, which enabled us to contextualize the socio-cultural evolutions in design and thus comprehend the ways of learning that are best adapted to contemporary times.
This research intends to help define some guidelines that can identify ways for a design education that must keep up with the rapid changes in the world.
This paper is part of a PhD research on the use of the digital tools and virtual environments in fashion design teaching. The virtual environments induce a drastic change in the way research, concept development and project communication are made, changing forever the practice of design.
