Description:
This course examines design practice in a contemporary context. What is contemporary about contemporary design? Particular focus is on graphic design, interaction design, product design and the places where they meet, overlap, or intersect. Readings can range from academic writing to journalism, the popular press, and blogs. The class may also include studio and site visits, films, and guest speakers in order to provide an expansive, global view of contemporary design and culture. Through their own critical writing, students will explore and join current conversations, looking at how these conversations influence and drive design.
