ABSTRACT: In this time, we must be prepared for unknown situations in design, design research, and design education. We are awaiting changes in standards for the art, design and engineering education system. We are currently facing a new type of communication in the design process. Classical research and traditional forms are changing, and we are searching for new research and development strategies. Star Status philosophy is viewed in a social context as a design process section, and it is part of the alternative design programme of design thinking, education and training, also included the other two parts – Open Sphere Strategy and Authentic Design Essence. Together these parts create a flexible system for the action-centric design process, research and education with a spirit of avant-garde thinking. In general, this system can define Designers as Individuals (Stars) in Society Groups (Constellations); they are connected to other members by various Relationships (Status). Some stars make connections, constellations and new compositions with other stars. Stars in constellations with new connections create a new composition, new context, new lifestyle. As a technology in Star Status Philosophy, acquiring and mastering of design drawing as the most credible technique of an autonomus artistic exploration, drawing as a way of thinking in the most natural form in the designing process and ability to create a visual communication language are on of important parts of Action Centric independent artistic research & development fusion. As art of interdisciplinary experience, acquiring and mastering the common strategy in designing process between the designer and engineer, mastering the philosophy and method of design strategy, synthesis of designer drawing and 3D environment are the basic layers of Synergic research & development Design Strategy.
About Conference – Under the joint patronage of the Faculty of Architecture and Design at the Slovak University of Technology, Bratislava, Slovakia, in collaboration with the Faculty of Architecture at the Cracow University of Technology, Kraków, Poland; the Faculty of Architecture at Gdańsk University of Technology, Gdańsk, Poland; the Faculty of Architecture at Wrocław University of Science and Technology, Wrocław, Poland; and the World Institute for Engineering and Technology Education (WIETE), these institutions organise jointly the 2021 Conference on Engineering and Architecture Design Education (EADE-2021) to take place at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, Slovakia, on 6 September 2021, held electronically, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
At this stage, the Commonwealth Science and Technology Academy for Research (C-STAR), Chennai, India, a
Partner Institution of the WIETE is the Conference Co-sponsor. It is anticipated that the number of Co-sponsors
and Support Organisations will increase as several other institutions consider becoming involved in this
endeavour. This 2021 Conference on Engineering and Architecture Design Education (EADE-2021) follows the EADE-2020 held in Gdansk, Poland, over the Internet, due to the Covid-19 pandemic; the successful EADE-2019 held in Kraków, Poland; and the EADE-2018, held in Bratislava, Slovakia, in 2018; and builds on the series of extremely successful international conferences held in the past by the UICEE and WIETE, such as the World Conference on Technology and Engineering Education (Kraków 2010, Ljubljana 2011, Athens 2014 and Bratislava 2015); the World Conference on Engineering Education (Sydney 1989, Portsmouth 1992, Minneapolis-St. Paul 1995); the East-West Congress on Engineering Education (Kraków 1991, Łódź 1993, Gdynia 1996) and, then, the Global Congress on Engineering Education (Kraków 1998, Wismar 2000, Glasgow 2002, Bangkok 2004 and New York 2006), to name a few. Based on such previous extensive experience, the present Conference is a continuation of the international effort of sharing and exchanging ideas, experiences and achievements within the international community of technology and engineering, as well as engineering and architecture educators in this case.
