Emerging Designs

Throughout the duration of the course, students will engage in a progressive cultivation of their comprehension regarding design as a multifaceted activity. The significance of creativity within the design paradigm will be elucidated, highlighting its pivotal role as a catalyst in the evolution of design proficiency. Participants will refine their pragmatic abilities in generating design representations pertinent to a specific domain. Both the project and accompanying lectures will accentuate the integral role of conceptual design as a mechanism for knowledge acquisition. Furthermore, students will enhance their reflective capacities in tandem with the development of their conceptual framework, placing substantial emphasis on integrating theoretical constructs of design cognition with their empirical experiences. Lectures by both practicing designers and experts from the domain of the project topic will provide an essential body of additional knowledge and insights.
