Abstract:
This paper attempts to present the process of symbiosis between design education and culture - the impact of culture on design and visa versa. Although, the primary design education and its constituent principles remain as universal phenomena; however, this with emphasis on cultureas the mediator to augment students design experience makes the challenge of teaching informative. Furthermore I believe, teaching sustainable design remains as the principle impetus behind a good and wholesome design-learning environment, which enriches student's personal development. Design educators must ask, can design help humanity? Design must have a deep understanding of cultural values and relevance to contextual imprint in order to serve human needs.
