Design Studio Dimension

Bring it all together. Design a real project.

The capstone of GEDS. Integrative whole-systems design where you take everything you have learned across the four dimensions and apply it — alone first, then in a team — to a real-world project.

16 weeks 8h / week

About this dimension

The Design Studio is the integrative capstone of the GEDS journey. In Phase 1 you develop your own design proposal under facilitator guidance. In Phase 2 you join a 3-5 person team to co-create a final integrated design — including observation, interviews, and an integrated proposal — delivered as a report and presentation. Completing the Design Studio after all four dimensions awards the full GEDS Certificate of Completion.
