big ideas can happen beyond design studies
the first year students are having a fantastic discussion on aesthetic theory - on the meaning on "ugly' - and it is coming out of mechanical engineering /design project from studio - -

So theory can enter into 'the practical' - it does have a place, but you have to feel like you are equiped to bring those ideas into the "designing" of something.
IS this something that you do in studio?
or IS this stuff - that useless {dispicable} design studies terrain?
You have 5 semesters of your under graduate degree to go - and a lot can happen - a lot can be discovered, but you need to want to make discoveries - and to do that you need a Pioneers attitude - you need to be an explorer.
Einstien didn't develop the theory of relativity because some other older / more experienced physicist told him that that is what physics was - He worked it out for himself.
buckminster-fuller didn't devise geodesics from the "normal" discourse of recursive and rectalinear architecture - he did it becuase he was commited to descovering a new 'way'
Designing can be what you want it to be - it can be about responding to a demand of another, it can be your response to the problems you see in the world, it can be anything that you wnat it to be - so waht do you want it to be?
Is the answer to that question "your answer" or is it what you are told to think it "should be"?
design studies is a space to work these things out - are you working them out?

Hi,
This is great stuff.
I have been scanning all of these blogs - the design student ones.
And it is pretty amazing stuff I mean they are so spoilt. The degree I am doing we have 400 ppl in a lecture we do an essay at the end - we bet marked. We never get to talk to our professors in the way you do - no way we would argue - no way.
All Your posts on the whole responsibility of being a student are great - but what I don't get is how these guys have decided what they should be learning before they have even read or done anything - what planet are they on?
thx
I have less than 5 semesters remaining.
