Everything in our world is designed: from our everyday objects and the architecture of our cities to the structures and systems that affect how we interact. As designers, we help to shape this world: students learn how to develop different forms of co-living and initiate social change. The focus is on the key issues of social justice, sustainability and digitality, which are addressed in a collaborative way.
