Introduction
This unit focuses on participatory and inclusive design practices to engage diverse audiences in the co-creation of projects. Co-design is an increasingly popular practice that is used in a wide range of contexts to foster inclusion, to identify opportunities, and to ensure that outcomes align with needs. Through research, critique, and debate you will evaluate participatory design frameworks in relation to power and agency. You will be introduced to a range of collaborative design methods and explore how these can be used in different situations. Employing a divergent design thinking approach, you will develop and test collaborative design methods for a specified context. You will also develop and apply skills of peer critique, negotiation, and self-reflection in collaborative projects. The major output of the semester is a design report documenting the processes and design outputs of the semester.
