This article investigates the paradigm shift in Chinese environmental (art) design education, moving from a focus on aesthetics and functionality to an emphasis on creativity, innovation, and interdisciplinarity. The reformed education aims to cultivate designers skilled in addressing "VUCA" as innovative changemakers. Design thinking, a human-centered, interdisciplinary, collaborative, and creative methodology, is explored through a pedagogical case study in Beijing Design Marathon. The conclusion highlights seven main capabilities for design-driven innovators: Professional Knowledge, Creativity, Interdisciplinarity, Management & Leadership, Adaptability, Collaborative Innovation, and Social Responsibility. This study offers valuable insights into applying design thinking in Chinese environmental design education and contributes experiential knowledge to the international spatial design education domain.

Abstract
This article investigates the paradigm shift in Chinese environmental (art) design education, moving from a focus on aesthetics and functionality to an emphasis on creativity, innovation, and interdisciplinarity. The reformed education aims to cultivate designers skilled in addressing "VUCA" as innovative changemakers. Design thinking, a human-centered, interdisciplinary, collaborative, and creative methodology, is explored through a pedagogical case study in Beijing Design Marathon. The conclusion highlights seven main capabilities for design-driven innovators: Professional Knowledge, Creativity, Interdisciplinarity, Management & Leadership, Adaptability, Collaborative Innovation, and Social Responsibility. This study offers valuable insights into applying design thinking in Chinese environmental design education and contributes experiential knowledge to the international spatial design education domain.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
