Abstract
Taiwan has become a renowned Chinese cultural showcase in recent years. For architectural instructors, bringing student class efforts to the public has become a part of pedagogical events and the purpose of this study. Instructors who are also designers have established a pattern of collaborating with local small galleries for organizing design exhibitions. The result is a new collaborate pedagogical pattern which enables design students to reach out to society and, in the meantime, open up a window of diversity for the galleries as test workshops for design practice. This pattern has been carried out for three years. The results not only encourage students, but also motivate them with an open-mind learning attitude in a real social space.
Highlights
In recent years, numerous annual nationwide exhibitions have been held for academic design-related departments
For the rest of the three college years, very few exhibitions were held outside the university, so smaller scale exhibitions with more frequent occurrences may be a solution for this situation, especially for the first year or junior students still in school
In a coffee shop, the original different business model led to a different space layout; very limited table display space is available in a coffee shop
Summary
Numerous annual nationwide exhibitions have been held for academic design-related departments. In which an international interaction platform has been created While this exhibition may be very common for professional designers, it is very time- and resource-consuming for students. For the rest of the three college years, very few exhibitions were held outside the university, so smaller scale exhibitions with more frequent occurrences may be a solution for this situation, especially for the first year or junior students still in school. This concern has led to an alternative strategy, holding an exhibition in the middle of a semester. The exhibition will act like a footprint of the learning process for students and instructors as well
