89023 Design Studio: Fabrication

Description

This subject provides an umbrella for studios that address a range of design disciplines and approaches. Students select from the studios on offer to build on the conceptual, formal, analytical and critical skills developed in their previous studies or professional experiences. Each studio enables students to experiment, exposing them to diverse possibilities for design. Innovation is driven by the creative application of new and unique combinations of material, process, research strategy and activities. Students in each studio need to be highly motivated, self-directed and good communicators. Depending upon the disciplinary focus, the central activities within different studios may be: the imaginative generation and testing of possibilities; the rigorous development of propositions; or the realisation of well-crafted designed things, services and experiences.
