| Description: | "The Berkeley Institute of Design (BiD) is a proposed research/teaching unit that fosters a new and deeply interdisciplinary approach to design for the 21st century: The design and realization of rich, interactive environments which are shaped by the human activities they support. Here "environments" include architectural spaces, products, web sites, and other artifacts that support complex human activity. The program combines technical and social/humanist perspectives on design. It acknowledges that design in the era of ubiquitous technologies means not only technical innovation, but deep understanding of behavior and the experience that technology should enhance. It mixes engineering design with psychology, social sciences and art practice. It combines Berkeley's rigor in engineering with its commitment to social values and critical reflection. Objectives of BiD * Educate students on the breadth of topics that are important for 21st century design * Develop students' skills in team-work, communication, and creativity * Promote excellence in the practice of design within and across professions * Expose students to real-world design problems and bringing concepts to reality * Cultivate students' ability to express, evoke and shape experience through design * Foster critical reflection on technology and the contexts that shape its use * Create a generation of designers who lead product development in large companies." |
