| Abstract |
Higher education confronted increased pressures for interdisciplinary collaboration in education and research including design fields as well. The purpose of this study is to analyze the spatial characteristics of the design college buildings recently built for the interdisciplinary design education and other collaborations. Among the top 10 design-leading universities in the 2020 QS World University Rankings in the field of Art & Design, 4 cases of newly built campuses designed for interdisciplinary design education were selected. This study analyzed spatial characteristics and physical conditions of four cases. As for the analysis method, design characteristics were derived by analyzing detailed design planning techniques applied to design college spaces. Based on this, important design keywords that can be fundamental and common design characteristics were distilled. In each case, various designated spaces were provided for collaboration of convergence programs. The collaboration space and convergence unit appeared differently from case to case. The campus space which aim to support multidisciplinary convergence programs can be characterized as 17 design characteristics, six common and fundamental characteristics among them were distilled: communication, openness, proximity, centrality, variability, and diversity. The finalized six characteristics can promote formal and informal interaction, and provide multiple choice options for users. The results of this study can be applied to campus space planning responding to the changing educational paradigm, interdisciplinary programs. |
