| GDES 3B68 Design (As) Research 0.50 Credit(s) Studio/Seminar |
|
| Prerequisite: 8.5 credits, including all first-year requirements (5.0 credits) |
|
| This third-year course will explore practice-based research techniques in design as ethnographic methods to prepare students for their graduate year thesis or core projects. Small research projects will be used in this course to pursue three objectives: research to inform the design deliverables (the outcomes of design practice), research to educate the designer/researcher for future practice (tacit knowledge) and research to inform the professional design, academic and wider communities (explicit knowledge). This course will inform both internal and external audiences that design is, in itself, research. |
