An Introduction to Multidisciplinary Design Thinking

In today’s rapidly evolving digital world, the ability to think across creative disciplines is more critical than ever. In this course, we’ll show you how to think like a Multidisciplinary Designer.

Historically, a multidisciplinary approach to design has driven significant advancements in society. From Leonardo da Vinci, who seamlessly blended art and science, to the Bauhaus, and visionaries like Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Charles and Ray Eames, the fusion of disciplines has consistently enhanced creativity and innovation.

In a report from Design Council, multidisciplinary skills are crucial in the future, addressing complex global challenges like climate change and sustainable energy.

This course is designed to equip you with the skills necessary to navigate and thrive in this interconnected landscape. We want to challenge your current perceptions about Design, whether you’re already a specialist or just getting started. No gatekeeping, and free to allow everyone access to design principles.

Join us in this journey to become a pioneer in multidisciplinary design. Together, we will explore how historical principles can be applied to today’s digital challenges, ensuring that you are not only prepared for the future but also capable of shaping it.
