Design History and Theory Project - SAHT9145

This course/module will provide candidates with the opportunity to undertake research projects resulting in a body of data from which considerations and applications of selected philosophical, aesthetic, historical, sociological and psychological positions can be made towards the development of design theory. Candidates may investigate the role of design theory in the development of a range of design cultures with specific reference to the Australian context. Comparative analysis of design theory models, toward the articulation of more complex systems for design analysis will be considered.
