About this Unit
In 2012 this unit replaced by 101885 - Design: Professional Engagement. In this seminar program, students engage in close readings of a number of significant texts in design theory, cultural studies, sociology and/or philosophy that attempt to analyse and/or interpret contemporary trends relevant to design. Students engage with texts as a means of broadly contextualising design activity, including their own practice. The program's emphasis is on speculative, self-reflective and experimental approaches.
