In the contemporary era of global digital transformation and deep integration of culture and technology, creative design education is faced with new challenges. This paper explores the pivotal role of cross-disciplinary practice in creative design courses, proposing that cross-disciplinary integration has the potential to disrupt the conventional ‘art technology’ model and propel the evolution of design education into a more multidimensional paradigm. The current predicament faced by domestic design education, marked by professional homogenisation, no longer aligns with the rapidly changing societal demands. This paper proposes a framework for the multifaceted integration of design education, supported by a curriculum system, educational philosophy, teaching resources, management model, and evaluation mechanisms. The core concept emphasised is ‘design to solve problems’, with the text advocating for the cross-disciplinary fusion of science and technology, culture, and business. Cross-disciplinary education not only broadens the knowledge boundaries of students but also promotes the alignment between creative design education and industrial demand, thus providing both theoretical support and practical pathways for cultivating innovative design talents suited to the future digital society.
