DESIGNING FOR
HEAT EMERGENCIES
IN PHILADELPHIA


In a collaboration with the Philadelphia Department of Public Health students were tasked with creating a design system that would help Philadelphians’ better prepare for rising temperatures. This semester long project consisted of an extensive research phase that required students to conduct their own human centered research before and during the design process.




CONTROVERSY
Students design or develop a designed artifact for a controversial topic that provides equal narrative of both sides of a social, political, environmental, cultural or human rights issue. The topic and information direct the form of the project.
