Design and Future Making

Master of Arts (M.A.)

About the Program

Today we are surrounded by an immeasurable number of defined objects, tools, products and information that together form a global network of meaningful relationships. This network shapes and represents our cultural, social and technological relationships - our reality. Access to this reality is characterized by 'using' and 'making' (working, producing, acting). As designers, we develop new approaches, we test new possibilities and develop stories that can go far beyond the things themselves.
