We are not just designing artefacts. By understanding the world around us, and understanding where design vision and ideas lie within a global context, we develop challenges and solutions to the way we live. Through a process of collaboration, we provide a supportive framework to encourage students to create a collective philosophy of what design is and what it might become.
