Overview
This unit is the capstone studio to the Collaborative Design specialisation within the Master of Design. You will demonstrate the advancement of your design research and practice abilities within a highly sophisticated project developed to a professional level of accomplishment. Projects will be drawn from or based upon relevant industry or societal issues. While continuing to build on your capacity as collaborative designers, you will engage with planning tools and relevant production processes that also highlight your individual contributions to the design process. The unit engages closely with the co-requisite Exegesis unit in order to document and articulate your design process and refinement. You will engage deeply with your chosen project and are able to further develop and advance your efficacy in design.
