Course description |
This course examines the key debates in practice-led research and the development of intellectually and materially engaged design propositions. It covers the principle positions in these debate across a range of design-related fields and investigates the philosophical underpinnings of the idea of visual- and material-knowledges. The course is focussed on examining the possibilities of non-textual forms of research output, and their relationship to contemporary debates on design and the built environment. |
