Handbook

Overview

Design Collaboration Studio 2 is the intermediate studio for the Bachelor of Design program and its three specialisations in Integrated Design, Industrial Design, and Computational Design. 

This interdisciplinary studio prompts you to build upon the disciplinary knowledge and skills you have acquired in your individual specialisation and apply these to a significant and outward-facing design problem. Guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals framework and supported by expertise from different disciplines, you will develop and fabricate designs using the UNSW Makerspace Network or similar facilities. This studio emphasises the importance of interdisciplinary exchange, peer collaboration and feedback in addressing provocative and real-world design briefs. You will work creatively in a research-informed design process to arrive at future-focused design outcomes.

At the completion of this studio, you will have enhanced your understanding of the similarities and differences in the approaches taken by a range of design disciplines when tackling complex design challenges.
