What is the place of teaching tools in design education, at BAU and in what way could we imagine to make changes?

• "Moreover, recent critical practices that break away from the more  commercial and industrial (affirmative) applications have brought a new  spectrum of objects that instrumentalise design’s potential as a  discursive tool. Whether milling-out matter or carving-out meaning, this  project ask you to both envision and build new tools for you practice." http://opensource.wdka.nl/wiki/Projects/Tools_of_the_Trade

Software and hardware as Tools of the Trade: shifting 'professional skills' beyond market requirements

• "With Creative Cloud, you have the tools to take your projects from  average to amazing. You can get people talking about your work.

So whatever the next wave is, you'll be on it." https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/buy/students.html
