Synopsis: Discussions centre of the design projects of students but are thematically structured by topics in compemporary theory. Designs may be considered in relation to social issues involving gender, class and ethnic differences; and students are expected to outline the place that their designs occupy in the continuum of design evolution and social critique. Critical attention is given to the methodological factors that might influence how the project is steered, an examination that particularly evaluates the social value and interests associated with the intentions behind the project.
