Education

Objects Agents is a 16-week speculative and interaction design course. Students design electronic objects that behave unpredictably when interacting with others (humans and otherwise), becoming ‘objects with sociology’. The course involves researching components, imagining speculative networks, hands-on prototyping and interaction design principles.

Solar Futures explores situated design as a method for conducting desert fieldwork, exploring local materials and processes, and the ecological and socio-cultural context in which they exist or take place. Participants were asked to design portable, solar‑powered cooking experiences or tools that could embody regenerative, circular, and situated design principles.
