Why Design?
Join the students and teaching staff from the Monash University for this in-studio session at the Caulfield Campus. Participate in a co-design activity designed by the students as part of their studio program, and at the same time sample the flavour of design education at Monash. This is a great opportunity for high school students, their teachers, and their parents to understand more about this burgeoning field of design practice while experiencing firsthand the learning environments of Monash University.
This year, Monash Design will extend Monash University’s Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture’s commitment to ‘creativity for purpose’, by examining and demonstrating design’s key role in actioning this ambition. Through a series of workshops, interactive engagements, exhibitions and guest lectures, this series of events will showcase the Australian-made design projects with a strong focus on design futures that demonstrate design’s diverse contribution to the world through responsible, thoughtful, inclusive and accountable approaches to design research and practice. It will draw on the extensive and highly respected research of its core research labs, including the Emerging Technologies Lab (designing quantum futures), XYX Lab (queer film stories); and Mobility Design Lab (accessing our cities through improved public mobility systems). Individual researchers and practitioners will contribute to vital discussions and demonstrations such as: sustainable futures and designing research translations. Both Postgraduate and undergraduate student projects and design methods will also feature.
Melbourne Design Week is an initiative of the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.
