In the course we will try to understand why things are made the way they are, try and solve problems, invent new ones, get a taste of the past(design history) and a better understanding of issues related to consumption/production in our ever changing complex present.
but mainly to think and make, get our hands dirty, acquire some basic skills working with materials… and have fun!
