teaching and students

Jurgen Bey is Senior Design Tutor in the Design Products Department at the Royal College of Art where he teaches Platform Two.

Platform 2, brief:
Design practice does not exist alone, nor can it be seen as purely an exercise in creating self-contained artifacts; it has to be an intrinsic part of a wider system, acting perhaps as catalyst or as parasite, prompting thinking about why, how and where things connect. Platform 2 attempts to reconcile conceptual creativity with active contribution within design. Students are encouraged to share their ideas and gather information from the public domain to ask themselves the question: ‘How will we live in the public domain?’
