- Class Description:
- This course is an introduction to the theories and processes that underpin design thinking and practice. Students investigate the interactions between humans and their natural, social, and designed environments where purposeful design helps determine the quality of those interactions, the practice of the design professions, and the power of design in culture. This course is intended for undergraduate students with an interest in pursuing design and design-related areas as professions: through clothing design, architecture, interior design, graphic design, housing studies, product design, landscape architecture, urban design and planning, and retail merchandising. This course is also a primary core requirement in the U of M undergraduate design minor. Secondary audiences might be any students who are interested in diverse types of thinking or design processes. This course creates an opportunity for all design and design-related students to be in the same classroom, learning from faculty and practitioners of different design specializations, and learning from one another. This setting exposes students to all facets of design and provides them an interdisciplinary perspective about design and human behavior. For non-design students, the course offers the opportunity to raise their awareness about the value and the power of design in our culture. Text: Lawson, B. (1997) "How Designers Think", Oxford, England: Architectural Press.
