Course description |
The two major components of this course are Design Thinking and Design Realisation. A variety of models are considered but the concept that "all models are limited" will be thoroughly examined. A number of ways of how to "bring a thought to a thing" will be explored before beginning the design brief, which will encourage both divergent and convergent thinking techniques. |
