Breaking the Barriers – Accessing the Theoretical Perspectives on the Road to Structure and Form

Discipline: 

Architecture & Built Environment

A wide range of geometric principles, concepts and perspectives, invariably sourced in ancient times, offer potential as problem solving tools in the twenty-first century. This appears to be accepted by design teachers and instructors worldwide, but evidence for the wide-spread inclusion and systematic delivery of such material in the design curriculum of the first decade of the twenty-first century is largely lacking.

DEFSA conferences

DEFSA promotes relevant research with the focus on design + education through its biennial conferences, to promote professionalism, accountability and ethics in the education of young designers. Our next conference is a hybrid event. See above for details.

Critical skills endorsement

Professional Members in good standing can receive a certificate of membership, but DEFSA cannot provide confirmation or endorsement of skills whatsoever. DEFSA only confirm membership of DEFSA which is a NPO for Design Education in South Africa (https://www.defsa.org.za/imagine).
