IHSS 2500 - Product Design and Innovation Studio III

This studio design course focuses on an enriched sense of problem definition through an emphasis on the reach and interconnectedness of technology and the conditionality of design selection criteria. Its design exercises, readings, and discussion press beyond  marginal substitutions toward a broadened sense of possibility from, for example “hypercars” and human-powered homes to small-scale local agriculture and extreme ecological living systems.

Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: PDI I or PDI II or permission of instructor.

When Offered: Fall term annually.



Credit Hours: 4
