Teaching Innovation
I found this article about a subject I had never really heard before: interdisciplinary Collaboration. Basically this terms describes "the merging of specialties—and professional interaction and experience." Interior design can work by itself, but the collaboration of real-life projects, with other students from other majors results in a creative storm.
The article above discusses how for a project at SCAD (Savannah School of Art and Design), students from majors including fashion, furniture design, graphic design, marketing management and advertising, collaborated their efforts in creating a new flagship store.
students in advertising, architecture, fashion, furniture design, graphic design, marketing management and service design worked with Benetton’s interior design department to design a new flagship store. Apparently this type of education process gives the student a new perspective as far as creating a project that is tended from every angle.
I think this type of education is very beneficial to the student and creates a more rounded student as far as knowledge in the interior design world. I'm not sure if Kristin ever experience this kind of education while she was in school, but it's definitely become popular over the last 4 years.
I know this is true in my education. In one of my classes, we worked with the fashion majors to create a mobile retail cart. A feat that could not have been accomplished without both minds working together!
