My
interests fall between a curious inquisitiveness in astrology and a keen
sensitivity to the marriage of art and technology. As you may have noticed,
I have started recognising the need for a new educational paradigm where
multi- and inter-disciplinary sensibilities are utilised as valuable contributors
to overall knowledge dissemination. This is more relevant in developing
countries where teaching is doled out as "memorisable packets" to obtain
competitive qualification. Design Education
is also a "borrowed" model which ,in my opinion, has not been adapted to
our socio-cultural needs: the model has not evolved. We must bring design
out of the studio/classroom and try to make it felt in our environments
and our living cultures.
Research
has always held my fancy. I have done some interesting experiments with
eye-movement recorders in graduate school.Much of this work still interests
me. Who knows, I might decide to "chuck it all" some day and become a design
research scholar. What a pity there aren't any Ph.D.'s offered in ID itself!!
