This\u00a0Deep\u00a0Dive is designed to equip students with the conceptual and practical tools to anticipate and critically discuss the individual, societal and environmental implications of everyday objects.\u00a0These objects\u00a0can be\u00a0well-known historical examples (e.g. the printing press)\u00a0or mundane\u00a0everyday technologies (e.g. the washing machine)\u00a0with a story. Drawing from critical theories from cultural studies and the social sciences, we will learn about various conceptual lenses\u00a0(e.g.\u00a0feminism, Marxism, orientalism)\u00a0and collaboratively explore the power of design and its limits in the social matrix.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the course, we will zoom into a specific \u2018object\u2019 every week, from teddy bears and cars to design schools and critique that object using\u00a0a specific\u00a0conceptual lens. To make these lenses accessible, we will have weekly seminars and interdisciplinary readings. To put theory into practice, we will organize debates and peer feedback sessions. In the spirit of autonomous learning, the students will take the lead in facilitating some of the seminars and debates. The assessment will be through a duo assignment critiquing each other\u2019s design project from a past studio course, which will help develop a reflexive design practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
