This subject is an opportunity for students to work intensively on live briefs that ranges across design disciplines. The experience allows them to extend their abilities by engaging with challenging briefs from community clients. The process enhances research and communication skills, as well as the ability to think critically about the consequences of what is designed. In particular, it allows students to learn in depth about collaborative design for community development. Working with live clients also teaches better team and project management skills in situations where people depend upon professionalism. Working with colleagues from different design disciplines provides students with the opportunity to reflect on their own design processes.
