The Common Design Studio is an international interdisciplinary collaborative design project between RMIT University Melbourne, RMIT University Vietnam and Elisava (Barcelona). For almost ten years the Common Design Studio has engaged students, lecturers and industry/research experts in design sprints that deal with global challenges. Previous projects engaged with sustainability issues, including mycelium, microplastics and recycling, and urban challenges.
DATA: beyond numbers showcases student and staff work from the Common Design Studio that investigates the role and impact of DATA in contemporary life; how we use data, how DATA is used to shape our behaviour and world, and how we might move into sustainable, ethical futures with growing dependence and responsibility for the huge amounts of DATA that now exists around us.
