"Assignment 2 follows the same approach as assignment 1 but will go a lot deeper into the context and your disciplines. It is also about the connections within your context rather than general connections. You will be working on this project until the end of trimester so the depth of the project should reflect the amount of time you have to work on it.
Again you will be combining design and your minor within a chosen context. At the end of the first part, you will have completed the ‘empathise’ and ‘define’ stages of the design-thinking approach. This will culminate in a well-defined detailed brief, which outlines how your unique knowledge and skills address a context, and offer a new solution. Through the define stage you will also be ‘ideating’ to further narrow the brief. Design research often uses synthesis to understand a context; so we will expect a level of creative output.
Once the context is chosen you will carry out in-depth research into the context and the people involved."
