Synopsis: Discussions are thematically structured by topics in contemporary theory. Designs are considered in relation to social issues; 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, and an evaluation of the social values and interests associated with the intentions behind the project.
