Integrated Design Practice

This studio based course explores how interdisciplinarity — the interplay of knowledge and methods from different disciplines — might benefit the formation of independent creative practice. Students will develop systems and processes through the examination of social and creative practices that are revealed and sourced from within design and beyond.
