Frontier education for a sustainable future - speculative design in architecture as a transdisciplinary experiment
Abstract
In this article, the authors propose the term frontier education referring to the well-established notion of frontier research - one, that through opening unexpected transdisciplinary perspectives, may offer new insights and create a fertile ground for new discoveries and ground-breaking concepts. In answer to the question of how to get rid of normative thinking and extend architectural experimentations, a speculative design architectural studio was proposed to students of Gdańsk University of Technology (Gdańsk Tech), Gdańsk, Poland, in collaboration with a non-academic foresight institution. In this article, the authors discuss the effects of introducing the speculative design methodology as a transdisciplinary and frontier education experiment. They reflect on how this kind of experimentation contributed to enriching the student’s understanding of the constant process of adaptation of architecture to environmental challenges, social trends and technological innovations.
