At Design Academy Eindhoven we educate designers in the broadest sense of the word. In our opinion, a design course should involve a lot of freedom – it should encourage the individual to be curious, to experiment, to discuss, to criticize, and to explore. Thinking-through-making is therefore an important aspect of all our courses – designing an end-product as you go.
To stimulate creative collaborations and professional experimentation, our courses are constructed around domains of human activity. These departments have a focal point – like space or identity – to cross the boundaries of the conventional disciplines. Within our departments, students are encouraged to use and mix knowledge, fields and production methods in the design process. Interdisciplinary working creates new ways to perceive – and thus the opportunity to design alternative approaches to existing problems.
