Abstract:
|
The community of biodesign (interspecies design collaborations) seems to be heading
toward solid self-organization and formalization. Some authors speculate that the
approximation to biology could mark the design practice of the 21st century. It seems relevant
to understand how teaching and learning are happening in biodesign to develop how it could
be further introduced in design curricula. It doesn’t seem that an analysis of formal education
was made yet. To address this research gap, this paper aims to understand the formal
education scene in biodesign through an analysis of some of the main biodesign courses and
programs. The methodological strategy is a systematic and a narrative review through a
popular search engine. 16 results were analyzed: 1 Masterclass for Professionals, 8 courses,
1 undergraduate course (Major), 4 master’s, and 2 Ph.D. programs. |
