In this summer course we consider the development of an independent approach to design to be an essential teaching aim. Participants will already have formed many of their own preferences and affiliations, and one principal objective of our teaching is to reinforce this individual quality in order to assist all students to realize their personal potential, in the context of exhibition design. As well as group seminars, intensive one-to-one studio tutorials are the course’s main teaching technique, forming part of an integrated interdisciplinary programme of theoretical and practical inputs.
