Abstract

We describe a design pedagogy under development. It is a) interdisciplinary, b) inspired by success in teaching architectural design, c) motivated by the rapid maturation of CHI design and computing, d) directly connected to what we call ubiquitous-computer-human interaction or UCHI, and e) based on larning design by building. We have brainstormed about how we might merge significant aspects of our disciplines (architecture and HCI) into a joint design course; we both agree that Gropius' 1922 [3,4] pedagogical model for the Bauhaus applies to learning architecture and UCHI design. We invite feedback, ideas, and collaboration from the HCI community on this work in progress.
