Course Overview

You will join a community of staff and students eager to explore the potential for beauty, usefulness, and meaning in contemporary material culture. You will develop both the technical skills required of a designer, and the critical thinking skills necessary to understand designs role in the social, economic, and environmental context of today. Our creative approach puts three-dimensional prototyping at the heart of the design process. You will be taught how to use the tools and techniques of workshops, computer labs, and studio spaces to develop and evaluate designs in three-dimensions. You will gain a sophisticated understanding of how to work with materials, by sensitively incorporating their properties into your work. And you will be challenged to think carefully about the valuable role your furniture and products should play in peoples lives. The course vision is to create the ablest graduates€”people who understand both how and why to make things and are ready to make meaningful contributions to professional design practice.
