Program
A SUMMER STUDIO WITH A PURPOSE
DesignDisco Summer Studio engages with urgent issues by proposing innovative solutions. Via teamwork, a hands-on attitude, and instructor-led project planning, students will gain the capacity to break down significant challenges into small, achievable tasks. Learning to generate fresh ideas through joint efforts, we emphasize collaboration over competitiveness while celebrating individual strengths.
Our processes foster trust, self-esteem, and accountability. We promote design solutions that impact the local community, encouraging everyone to act within their immediate surroundings while considering the bigger picture. We advocate conscious and regenerative design solutions that can be repurposed and recontextualized.
