People and Design (Mondays)
20 credit module led by Hazel White, This module provides students from the Master of Design and the MSc in Design Ethnography with an insight into the relationships between people, technology (in the broadest sense of the word - paper is a technology) and design. Using cultural and design theories as frameworks it explores through hands-on design projects and case studies the ways in which design practices creatively engage with new trends in society, the ways in which technologies change society, and the ways in which people (users) shape design practices. It challenges students to reconsider designers and users as the ultimate authors of all new designs, technologies or services.
