Semester 7
Transdisciplinary design introduces students to tools and working methods and trains them to solve issues through design that have an impact on a local and global level. They start looking at things through an empathetic lens and learn to design for the greater good of the society.
Design Discovery One, is the transdisciplinary design project which allows the students to assimilate all diverse knowledge and experiences across the previous semester to design and work on a real-life project.
The studio offers necessary inputs to discover, explore and integrate various elements of the identified project. They develop an appropriate design process to ensure a tangible solution. Further, the studio focuses on developing clarity about the project path, ability to document and communicate appropriately to the identified audience.
Semester 8
Students learn about the Design Discovery Two module in two phases. In the first phase, students learn effective tools required for team work. They identify a project at community level and design a process to find an appropriate solution.
Students undertake independent social research study for the second phase of the studio as a part or extension of the identified community project.
