51-887 Design Center: Imaginaries Lab: New Ways to Live
6 units, Carnegie Mellon University
Focusing on new ways to live and experience the world, now and in the future, well do practical investigative research through design projects using experimental methods in the wild. Learn and develop a variety of tools for conducting innovative forms of research through design, focused on exploring how people think, understand and imagine complex social and technological concepts, and envision futures. By the end of the course students will have worked on an interdisciplinary research project, including with an external partner, drawing on a number of disciplinary domains, and have experience with different kinds of design research and practice, from speculative and critical design to participatory design, as well as developing the skills and experience necessary to innovate with, and deploy, those methods. This course is a complement to 51885 Design Center Imaginaries Lab New Ways To Think, but is independent of it, and eitheror bothcourses can be taken without overlap we will be doing different projects, with a different focus.
