From Theory to Practice: An Adaptive Development of Design Education

This study aims to discuss the adaptive challenge, and bridge the gap between theory and practice in design education. From now on, navigating design communities through the new era is a significant issue facing global competition and pluralistic society. First, this study reviews the essential evol...

description This study aims to discuss the adaptive challenge, and bridge the gap between theory and practice in design education.
