Design Impetus or Impetus to Design

One of my driving forces is a love for design. Virtual reference services, instructional tools, jewelry, blogs, myspace, workflows: all of these require an adeptness for design. How will we bring the next generation to the task? I came across a blog that cited this very idea; the blogger writes:

"The visual elements hook'em, but the underlying problem-solving rush is what energizes everything they do for the rest of their educational life." See the orginal blog for more context.

Apparently, there is an upcoming conference - October 27-28, 2006, in Chicago, where the Architecture+Design Education Network (A+DEN) will discuss such ideas. See the A+DEN website for details. If you happen to know someone who attends, or you have information about such programs in practice, please add a comment!

don't lose hope -- just think of street-culture, and know that MS and Google can't touch that ;-)
