Description
The philosophy behind the approach to this studio is to extend the process of design as an acquired skill through serious play, and for the student to explore, examine and demonstrate their conceptual understandings.
This course will provide students with the opportunity to explore in both theoretical and practical terms the future of domestic life and domestic environments.
Transforming the Everyday will explore the domestic environment and how we will live our domestic lives in the future. What the domestic environment will look like, what part technology will play and what impact our growing energy use will have on our environment and our lifestyles.
Students will collaborate to create studio outcomes that are informed by various disciplines to develop projects that are grounded in defensible concepts.
This course will focus on developing creative strategies along with conventions used in design thinking, visualisation, prototyping, documentation and presentation. Building upon the student's foundations in theory and the practice of design, the course aims to develop skills and understandings that can better integrate strategies employed in the design process,thereby enhancing the realisation of design outcomes within particular contexts.
