89122 Change Studio: Advanced

Description

In the early decades of the 21st century, new applications of digital communication technology have rapidly changed the ways that we create, manage and access goods and services. These new ways of operating have dramatically impacted our economies, challenging the dominance of established producers, manufacturers and service providers, and opened the way for more agile and distributed players. New kinds of services have emerged, and more diverse communities are being addressed.

This studio subject provides advanced design students with an opportunity to develop service design propositions for a changing world. Through a semester-long studio engagement, students develop projects that support a shift toward more sustainable human and environmental ecologies. The emphasis is upon design for user experience (UXD), and the enabling of desirable change through strategic, human-centred design propositions.
