CREATIVE ADJACENCIES
June 03 - 06 Ghent, Belgium
Creative adjacencies, unusual combinations or alternative scenarios can and do generate interesting and unique visions, new openings, possibilities and constructive solutions. By looking at these phenomena, schools for Architecture, Design and Urbanism might realise that their students lack the needed specific skills and competences new professionals should have to meet current and future challenges, whilst at the same time, might discover skills in design ability, and design thinking that could open up the much needed innovative vision and potential solutions in this ever-changing context.
The aim is to explore, analyse and discuss through “case studies on creative adjacencies” the ADU questions and distract strategies for updating and modernising the university curricula in Architecture, Design and Urbanism.
