Abstract
ticular design practice, illustrating them through case studies.. This can be approached by strengthening studio culture to provide safe spaces for creative and problem-centred learning and ‘gateway’ strategies of assessment. Key to sustaining motivation in this context is the toleration of design uncertainty as a threshold concept. Negotiating it successfully involves entering a liminal space in order to develop confidence and skills. Students need the time, space and structure to immerse themselves into a design brief, engaging in a reflective process to resolve the contradictions of a dual processing cognitive model. This work has been brought together in a recent publication which provides a synthesis and overview
