| Design practice is becoming increasingly more interdisciplinary, socially focused and complex. As a result, design as a discipline has needed to initiate new modes of thinking about design which includes adapting methodologies from fields other than design. This course explores a broad range of contemporary design practices such as industrial design, environmental design and material art & design within this framework. Students will read contemporary texts written by or about designers and design theorists, analyze exemplary contemporary design practices through case studies and be encouraged to view design in an expanded field of related disciplines and practices. |
