“…Design educators draw from intuition as well as from professional and personal experiences to define and frame student briefs (Heller & Talarico, 2009). The brief genre remains largely under-theorised and is receiving increased attention from researchers (Hocking, 2014; as well as from professional practitioners (Barrett, Goulding & Qualter, 2013) and design educators (Heller & Talarico, 2009). Despite their widely assumed importance and general consensus over a few main characteristics (Sadowska & Laffy, 2017), significant variances are visible between disciplinary and individual styles (Bassett, 2014).…”

The design brief is considered a pivotal component in studio-based learning, yet there is a paucity of studies on the student brief genre in design education research. This work seeks to contribute by examining brief qualities from a variety of relevant sources that can help tertiary educators name, define, frame, evaluate, and present student briefs. The paper draws from the scant but growing academic literature on this topic, as well as from textbooks and publications on professional practice and design competitions. A dozen qualities are articulated from the literature that shape the purpose, content and context of briefs. Of special interest are the affective qualities of briefs, the interplay between project outcomes, learning objectives and assessment criteria, and the degree to which student briefs are execution dependent. A research agenda concludes the paper to comprehensively study the effects of design briefs in studio-based learning.
