Are you curious about the methods designers use to find solutions to problems in society? Do you want to know how design can help you experience the world in an innovative, creative and disruptive way? Would you like to know how designers look at climate change and how they apply technology, upcycling and artificial intelligence? Designers demonstrate that there are many alternative and innovative raw materials, for example, in the fashion and food industries. Design provides direction and shows that we can live in a more sustainable, social and inclusive way. Things need to change for the better, and they can.
If you choose design at VU Amsterdam, you will look at objects, art, media and technology from various perspectives. You will develop a critical attitude towards the use, preservation and transformation of spatial heritage and will also create your own designs. You will gain a deeper understanding of the social and ecological issues a designer has to deal with and how they affect production, sales and consumption. Design is provocative. Always.
