Re-design the Critique Environment
Web DesignThis is a personal project dedicated to academic design space. Despite the increasing influence of design in our society, research and analysis on design education are still lacking. Design critique is weak in its structure and does not provide enough support to prepare design students to enter the design field. To tackle this, I created a website solely designed for critique purposes in design schools. From this effort to learn about the student experience, I hope we can support our future designers with better methods and environments.
Prompt:
“How might we create a systematic structure that enables good management of verbal feedback and allows broad topics of discussion in final reviews?”

Design problem
Critique is a crucial space for design students to gain insights on their work from transferring thoughts with peers and professionals. However, the current critique environment is weak in its structure and needs a better system to support design students to be benefited from the conversation happening in critique.
