The aim of this field study is to examine
the following problem: To what extent has education
operated on a limited and narrow perception
of design principles and if so how could the
implementation of the missing principles be
achieved.
The field study is composed of an analysis
and an educational model incorporating
three levels of education. In the analysis
the aesthetic principles of design are investigated
in relation to natural design to find out
what constitutes good design. Then these design
principles are used to reflect on modern social
values and socio-economic behaviour. The insights
gained from the socio-economic sphere are then
used for analysis of education curriculum planning
to see whether the principles presently
used can be improved upon. Finally the Educational
model using aesthetics as its central
value is expressed as a possible answer to the
problem.
