Teaching: Interdisciplinary Design
Helen Kearney
How can a multidisciplinary design team use their full range of skills and approaches to create projects that make our public spaces more sustainable and inclusive? Helen leads a Design Studio in the University of Syracuse that explores the design of public spaces and the ways that people interact with their environment through London-based case studies.
The projects are multi-disciplinary in nature and explore theory relating to user interaction within public space alongside real-world issues including wider context of design, project management processes, political realities and community requirements. The teaching methodology also includes a number of walking tours, site visits and onsite research and design work.
