Design studio practice

The unit provides an opportunity to undertake design projects and to develop design studio practice. You will be required to develop your own personal design philosophy, and consider the ways in which it responds to social needs and its visual and social expression as a preliminary to its development in your major project. The contemporary discourse in design and related theory is actively discussed and debated, and you are encouraged to develop a personal position relative to it. Both your intentions and the results of your work are debated in group discussions and critical sessions. This unit is only available to students enrolled in the double award Master of Industrial Design with Southeast University, China.
