Interdisciplinary Design is one of two capstone units in which you will demonstrate knowledge and skills gained throughout the degree in a complex applied project. This unit focuses on contemporary interdisciplinary and critical practices, relating global ecological and social concerns to local contexts. Framed by a studio brief and working with local experts, community groups, and/or stakeholders, you will collaborate with peers from other design specialisations to investigate, speculate, critique, and propose design outcomes informed by environmentally and socially responsible principles. The unit will expand your understanding of design practices, emphasising the importance of intellectual risk to extend and challenge design concepts and assumptions. You will work with a degree of independence and pursue opportunities related to your own interest areas and design specialisations while also being supported by delivered content, focused activities, and workshops. The unit prepares you to practice in a world where design is increasingly embedded in social contexts, engaging diverse stakeholders and user groups.
