GRID 621 - Advanced Design Methods

As a complement to the studio course (GRID 601), this course helps to develop methodologies for critical social cultural analysis, strategies for design research, and the means of documenting that research and analysis. Students develop a common design process that provides the foundation for all subsequent MID work. The emphasis is on clear and convincing communication, a skill that is increasingly critical to designers as they work more and more with those outside their own disciplines. Content for the coursework comes directly from the studio projects themselves. Formerly ID 620
