Through this subject you will explore and analyse spaces of interaction that operate on different scales and with different sets of relations, for example human and non-human, analogue and digital. Drawing from diverse design methodologies you will learn approaches to design decision making through collaboration, empathy, diverse knowledge and insight.
This subject introduces you to the roles of context, experience and feedback in design processes which are inherently fluid and messy. You will learn how to gain contextual understanding of a problem by applying different perspectives and drawing on experiences, histories, narratives, and data - of people, places, objects and systems. You will also develop methods for researching, conceptualising, and developing insights.
By doing primary and secondary research on a given topic, you will create the foundation for designing an interface based on analysis, conceptual development and low-fi prototyping. Throughout the design process you will seek and provide feedback by engaging in design critique to evidence design decisions and refine your design.
