Design Studio, a subject at the core of both programs, is a hands-on-subject where students learn how to tackle problems and propose solutions that range in scale from micro to macro, from the graphic design to projects for cities. The process is about conceptualizing the challenge at hand, researching, collaborating, imagining, proposing, testing, evaluating and proposing again - all with a critical thinking mindset.
