E&PDE 2024 - 26th International Conference on Engineering & Product Design Education
The Conference will bring together representatives from education and industry interested in sharing new perspectives on design education.
Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Could a visualized process of ‘transforming words into textile patterns and -products’ benefit a sustainable future of textile designs? Furthermore, could this AI-based tool be integrated beneficially in education and develop our hand-to-brain coordination in a way humans require? Let us explore a process within a drawing space - bridging the gap between ‘hands-on designing’, ‘design thinking’, and AI tools, not just by applying different design methods but not leaving the pitch to AI: Can Mid Journey solve specific problems like how to ensure a balanced repeat for (textile) pattern design? How could the information about a new knitting machine become accessible via Chat GPT while also serving as an editing tool that is fed with more information to gain specific sustainable solutions? Our fields of interest are the design learning process for students within post-academic programs and teens at schools, as human. Creatives still need the embodied experiences in designing solutions, next to the aid of AI. Due to paradigm shifts in to the next genre of AI tools, ‘generative AI’ forces us as educators to face a reality that is in need of new rules that have to be defined right now and sketched out. Within this visual paper we are balancing the AI tool and sketching with media, hands-on designing - tactile within a ‘textiling future’, and last but not least, it is an essential question of ethical standards and has to be decided by the human beings – not by AI.
