Course Description

Humans have designed the artificial world so that it elevates dignity in our everyday lives. Designing for dignity is a studio course that addresses design problems with focus on the concept of dignity as a central principle of human-centered design. This course offers opportunities for students to explore the ethical dimensions of design practice through design projects, as well as develop competencies in collective participation in community. Through readings and in-class activities, students will learn about human value systems, dignity as a principle, and service design as a process of deliberation. Students will practice applying these perspectives, models, and theories to create compelling design projects.
