Class Website - TBA to registered students

Inspired by Charles and Ray Eames’ canonical “Powers of Ten”, this course explores the relationship between science and engineering through the lens of Design. It examines how transformations in science and technology have influenced design thinking and vice versa. It offers interdisciplinary tools and methods to represent, model, design and fabricate objects and systems across physical, environmental, economical and social scales. Structured as core lectures and labs, the course is organized by “systems” such as Design of Data, Design of Innovation and Design of Life. Leaders in the fields of Design, Big Data, Synthetic Biology, New Materials and Digital Fabrication will contribute through guest lectures. We will learn design tools - digital and analog; we will develop design methods - disciplinary and anti-disciplinary and we will design things - material and immaterial. Exciting note: this year DASAD will include a special module focusing on DNA design and assembly. Limited enrollment.
