Description

Studio, six hours. Requisites: courses 21, 22, 24, 25, 28, and 101 or 104. Biodesigners use cells, DNA molecules, proteins, and living tissues to highlight ethical, social, and aesthetic issues that influence contemporary life. Introduction to how biodesign blurs distinctions between science and design through combination of design and scientific processes, creating wide public debate. Introduction to new sciences that influence food we eat, clothes we wear, and environment in which we reside. Students are challenged to think outside the box, explore divergent and convergent thinking, and seek out knowledge and inspiration from ideas that drive nano- and biotechnology. Peer collaboration is encouraged to develop speculative design projects that address issues covered. Letter grading.
