This major deals with the design of interior and exterior environments and spaces, applying sustainable practices to the design of retail and commercial spaces, or the design of products and environments that promote usability. Design is a collaborative discipline and students work in teams and individually to find and solve design problems. Students learn and develop skills that suit them for work in both the professional design industry and within organisations that employ design thinking. Design is seen as part of a whole system, and the major focuses on sustainable design practices that consider environmental, social, cultural and economic needs.
