| Description | This advanced seminar provides an overview of
contemporary topics in transformation design with
an emphasis on how transdisciplinary designers
position their praxis in relationship to the more
established design professions. As a methodology,
what design studios have adopted
transdisciplinary thinking? Where does it fit in
terms of the design canon? What are the core
principles? How might this specialization evolve?
This course works with the Thesis Completion:
Realization course to aid students' understanding
of how to frame their projects in terms of larger
cultural, social, economic and technological
shifts. By critically reflecting on their own
design processes, students become attuned to
identifying emerging opportunities. The aim is
twofold; to strengthen students' thesis projects
and to provide a discovery learning opportunity
to see what it is that makes their projects
transformational |
