Module Description: |
The aim of the module is to embed data-led and evidence-based method and process within design decision-making and design practice. The module seeks to extend learner use of primary data-source, such as stakeholder engagement and co-design process, to supplement secondary data-sets to propose design-led problem solution.

|
Micro-Task (24/48 hr.)
• MT1: LOOK, SEE, OBSERVE - short micro-group task to identify design/artefact/service within public realm, engage primary observation of public iteration/s, make key observation/s, and propose design intervention/improvements.
• MT2: DEPAC - rapid sketching exercise, stimulated by randomly selected cards displaying actions/verbs/adjectives/emotions etc., stimulating iterative random associations; leading to non-non-lineear conceptual idea.
