Sign up for the very first Industrial Design course ever to run at DePaul University! Be a part of history, and learn about alternative design philosophies.
ID 101, Metaphysics of Objects, introduces the theory of the perception of objects, and how objects perceive each other, through the lens of object oriented ontology. Through lectures and projects, students will create objects and evaluate the influences of tools, materials, and thought on the development of things. Students will learn how to choose the appropriate tools and materials for specific design contexts, and be introduced to the theories behind speculative realism and object oriented ontology.
The course runs Tuesday and Thursday, 1:30p.m.-3:00p.m.
