Course content
Design 6 - Futures focuses on futures in two ways. Students become conscious of future roles designers can have in society. Students decide what project to undertake to address the role they foresee meaningful for themselves.
Students will complete and document an external project and participate in workshops. There will be lectures on different design processes and on the agency of designers in relation to the stakeholders of the project they are executing. Topics: Core design skills, Design methodology, Client and Stakeholder involvement.
Grades are based on project documentation, design process description and reflection on the process.
