...Design + Culture: New Directions for Interior Design Scholarship and Pedagogy Date: March 15-16, 2015 Fort Worth, Texas Guest Editor: Tasoulla Hadjiyanni Associate Professor, Interior Design University of Minnesota Title: Design as a malleable structure: Reframing the conceptual understanding of design and culture through George Kubler’s morphological approach to the history of things Author: Joori Suh, Assistant Professor, Interior Design Department, Iowa State University Under the banner of globalization and internationalization, what actually happens in design? Has today’s blended culture lost the identity unique to the context? What should be the interior design educator’s attitude toward teaching design and culture in the current age? We encounter dilemmas in global design, the results of which are sometimes almost identical regardless of unique settings because of our tendency to grasp design as a whole with respect to particular style or trend without fully apprehending the core and the deviation. Perceiving the entire design project as a mere symbolic expression also hinders our true understanding of design and culture. In this article, I attempt to answer fundamental questions regarding the complex, innate relationship between design and culture and suggest restructuring a conceptual framework applicable to related research and education that effectively reveals the multi faceted characteristics of design and culture in the present age. From the perspective of morphology...

...PLAINTIFF'S FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT I. INTRODUCTION 1. This cause of action arises from the Defendant's deliberately indifferent response to reports of student-on-student harassment based on the Plaintiff's perceived gender-stereotype, and subsequent sex-based discrimination by employees. The Plaintiff was targeted by students and employees of the Defendant because he did not conform to stereotypical expectations of masculinity. The personality traits that the Plaintiff exhibited were considered to be feminine, and triggered an animus in many students, employees, even administrators, because they believed him to be gay. Indeed, even the appearance of homosexuality is enough to ignite a fire of prejudice and hatred among some of the -1- students, employees, and administrators of the Defendant. Employee Bridgette Wilson, publicly demonstrates her enmity against gays by posting images of the anti-gay activist, Phil Robertson, who claims that homosexuals are “going to hell”, onto the popular social networking site, Facebook. Another student, Sara, also proudly proclaims her animus of, even the appearance that someone is gay, by mockingly posting a photo on Facebook of her husband dressed as Phil Robertson ,while holding her in his arms. Other students display postings of repulsive objects such as, a rebel flag, skull and cross bones, “redneck”, “southern pride”, and “I agree with Phil”. The majority of them live many...
