Description:

Media Machines and Design Environments. Recent trends in design have taken a "spatial-turn" towards space both physical and virtual. Whether it be the pop-up and exhibition as a site for design practice or emerging technologies such as VR, AR, and projection mapping, understanding space as a medium and context for design has taken on an increased importance. This research and writing-based course DC: Screen/Space examines contemporary design and its intersection with media theory and architecture. Readings will be from range of disciplines including design, critical theory, media studies and architecture. Students will be asked to focus on a case study from recent history and use it as a platform in a projective/speculative manner to understand contemporary design that engages media and space in both the virtual and built environment.
