DESN 3100

Learners will engage in an intensive, design-focused, faculty-led field school for a period of two weeks. They will travel to a contextually distinct destination, differing from metro-Vancouver, and participate in scheduled experiences related to local culture and design. The field school will provide an immersive and interactive learning environment where students will gain an understanding of the contextual nature of design through place-based learning, active experimentation, observation, analysis, and critical reflection. Class sessions will be held on campus before and after the travel portion of the course. Note: Students must be 19 years or older at the start of the course. In addition to course tuition, program travel fees will also be applied, and students will be informed of details and application dates prior to each offering.
