摘要:AbstractThis article is about the design of design education. After a series of reflections on the design space of design education in relation to complexity, uncertainty, and change, the article is divided into two main parts. First comes a brief history of how design seems to be evolving in response to complexity, and how this has led to a shifting balance between what we consider to be certain, and what is inherently uncertain when designing. Second, there is a discussion of what this evolution and shifting balance implies for design education. The article does not offer a general account or articulation of what design or design education is or should be like, but a series of conceptual tools, diagrams, and figures enabling us to frame and define design programs for education and research. Ultimately, this article is a reflection on what it means to think about design as an act of making things possible, and therefore as the opposite of taking things for granted.Highlights•Design emerged from a transformation from actually making things to making things possible.•Design has expanded through critical and constant questioning of what it is to make things.•Designing is not so much something one is taught how to practice, but something one learns how to make.
