This subject is an opportunity for students to work intensively on experimental briefs that range across design disciplines. The design lab allows them to extend their abilities by engaging with challenging briefs in innovative contexts, such as emerging technologies or pressing social issues. The labs enhance critical analysis skills and the creativity of design work. They provide experience in observational and interview-based research to inform substantiate design work. They also teach students better team and project management skills in time-pressured situations and create opportunities to reflect on their own design processes when compared to those of other disciplines.
