Builders with a conscience - Invited Commentary on the paper Architects or builders; scaffolding or duck tape?

چکیده
In this commentary, we elaborate on the necessity to choose among a wider, higher-level conceptual approach and a more concrete, skills oriented one in HCI education, as a result of HCI enlarging scope and curriculum pressures. First, the role and usefulness of more abstract topics are discussed, and second, some reflections on how to cover them in HCI education are presented.

This much should be self-evident: a material should not be used in green buildings if it is uniquely toxic or carcinogenic, if it causes high levels of harm to workers, communities, and the natural environment both in production and in disposal.
