This course takes an in-depth look at the “spatial-turn” in design where designers and artists are concerned with space in both the physical and virtual sense. 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 discussion and writing based course examines contemporary design and its intersection with art, media, and architecture. Students will be asked to use the material in the course in a final project to further their own understanding of contemporary design in a more projective/speculative manner and situate design as a significant cultural practice.
