AB - Th e Effects of Various Design Approaches on Critical Judgment in Handcarving LEONAR D M. LANSKY , WILLIAM A. LEONARD, and JOH N M. PETERSON University of Cincinnati What teaching strategies help design students to develop critical judg­ ment ? What strategies hinder such learning? Is there an "ideal" strategy for all design students or for identifiable subgroups? These and similar questions are the core issues for the research program we have been pursuing for several years (Lansky and Peterson, 1966, 1968; Peterson and Lansky, 1968). To date, we have focussed our attention on one complex design task—the handcarving. The problem is the first three-dimensional problem given to fresh­ ma n architecture and planning students at the University of Cincinnati. Th e students are required to produce a handcarving from a six-inch wood cube, using only a pocketknife, gouge, and sandpaper, with linseed oil for the finish. The problem's objective is to make the student aware of mass-space relationships, i.e., the carver must successfully integrate the spaces he creates with masses he leaves and the original mass. Another primary goal is to increase the carver's sensitivity to the limitations imposed by materials, i.e., the integration of the form(s) created
