New way ahead post pandemic

Design is a discipline that is fundamentally practiced and process-based. It cannot be taught and learnt within the confines of a classroom or limited to the pages of a textbook. Essentially experimental and exploratory in nature, it needs a hands-on approach along with ample curiosity, critical thinking and the constant willingness to learn, unlearn and relearn with changing times and circumstances. When it comes to design education, what is often imperative is an integrated pedagogical approach to learning, one that mirrors the working of the real world.
