Summer School - Introduction to Design Thinking

INTRODUCTION TO DESIGN THINKING

In this course, you will explore design thinking methods and processes through a design brief. You will be guided through the design process including areas such as primary research methods, strategy, idea generation and design development. This hands-on course will get you out into the city to experiment with primary research methods, engage with users to understand their experiences and needs and develop key insights that can be utilized in the development of design responses. You will develop communication and presentation skills through sketching and 3D prototyping. You will engage with all stages of the design process as well as produce many drawings and experiment with three-dimensional forms through model making.
