The Design School is a multidisciplinary community of internationally recognised educators, researchers and practitioners.
Our School ethos builds on the aesthetic traditions of design practice and encourages experimentation, critique and innovation within the context of a post-digital culture.
We believe in the power of design practice, design thinking and design research to effect strategic change, shape positive futures and produce cultural value.
- We believe in design as site of action and agency to radically transform our world.
- We believe in the power of design to critique, confront and challenge inequalities.
- We believe in questioning geopolitical, socio-cultural, and disciplinary boundaries.
- We believe that design operates in an ecology beyond the human centric.
- We believe that learning is continuous, collaborative and creative.
- We believe in the power of making as critical practice and tangible intervention.
- We believe in embracing uncertainty through experimentation and risk-taking.
- We believe in the value of interrogating the past to shape our futures.
