This studio is about design, behavior, and people’s understanding, in physical, digital, and hybrid environments.
The course comprises practical projects investigating, understanding, and materializing invisible and intangible qualitative phenomena, from intelligence to social relationships, through new forms of probe, prototype, speculative design and exhibit. We will cover two units; each will result in a project. We will use an exploratory research-through-design approach to create these projects. Documentation of your process is essential. This is how you reflect on your decisions and learn from them. Students are allowed to work individually or in teams of 2 or 3.
