Course description and aims

The proposed series of lectures brings together design, community, philosophy, science/technology to investigate significant issues around sustainable future. Students learn how to put those pieces of information together and construct their own narrative and express it in the form of new wearables design.

Student learning outcomes

Designers should become thinkers, at ease both with the making of concepts and the making of stuff. Thinkering: messing around in an open-ended way with raw material – whether tangible or intangible, concepts or 3D touch-points, ideas or prototypes – to design tools for speculation on the not-yet.

Keywords

design, wearables, sastainability, speculation

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

The lecture, workshops and studio-based sessions combined deliver experiential learning. Participants will form small groups in order to design simple prototypes.
