Design Domain

 

This year’s Design Domain theme is Responsibility, and Year 2 and Year 3 students and staff across six programmes in the School of Design are reflecting on what responsible being and responsible making mean to us in a proportionate way - as individuals, in our relationships with each other, in our communities and in the wider world.

 

This semester, Design Domain launched with pre-recorded talks and a live panel discussion, in which Briana Pegado and speakers John Thorne, Rose Sinclair, and Michael Johnson discussed what responsibility means to them and their work. Design Domain Semester 1 ended with Open Studios on Padlet, with exciting and thoughtful work

from a multiplicity of angles and directions.

 

The recording of the Live Panel Discussion is available to GSA staff and students on Planet eStream
