67-356 Design for Behavioral Change

9 units, Carnegie Mellon University

Our behaviors are influenced in large part by the built world around us. Information, devices, physical environments and architectures all contribute to our decisions from what we consume to how we participate as citizens. Designers and technologists have a more direct hand in how our world takes shape and subsequently on peoples actions. In this studio, we employ a variety of humancentered design methods to shape information, products, interactions, and environments, then test and iterate those ideas in a variety of contexts. We will practice a few of the ways designers act as agents of positive change for individuals, communities, and the environment.
