Overview
This unit develops the capacity to understand and apply the methodologies of current design research practice. Through using research processes appropriate to their discipline, you will investigate contemporary issues that penetrate the links between design, society, culture and the environment. You will be required to use your research to uncover existing knowledge; use it to articulate and substantiate an argument; and build on it to formulate your own critically informed ideas. Through acquired research skills you will be able to interrogate a range of contemporary design issues and consider these in relation to your own disciplinary context and practice.
