Abstract

The relationship between China and Italy has ever been stronger for academic exchanges to flourish. Vital exchange of teachers and students among design universities has soared to paramount levels. With this, beginning in 2007, both Chinese and Italian higher education institutions have established the 'double master's degree programs in design', with the corresponding degrees being 'environmental (art) design' and 'interior and spatial design' respectively. Meanwhile, there are great strides, followed by demands to strengthen the understanding of the respective cultures, language, and methods of both design institutions. This article aims to assist and facilitate a dialogue of understanding between the two design cultures by analyzing the current status and the evolution of their disciplines in both nations. This research may provide a common basis for the innovation in the field in both countries and contributing useful theoretical notions for the education of design.
