DS4SI DESIGN GYM

This course is for anyone interested in the collective study of strategies + methodologies for designing something new in their communities/everyday life. Close reading of a series of case studies is supported by tools used to deeply observe/stretch/re-understand a problem and imagine new artistic interventions in public. Through a combination of direct instruction, collective study, and guided solo exploration, the course encourages each participant to explore examples of civic design, deepen their own interest, work towards a shared understanding of the content, and engage their creativity towards civic change. Finally, this course readies participants to imagine and design their own public interventions for future prototyping.

This workshop is 5 weeks: 04/29, 05/6, 05/13, 05/20, 05/27 from 6pm - 8pm at the Design Gym. (7 Ramsey Street in Upham's Corner)
