This conference presentation addressed Design Domain, an assessed, credit-bearing course at the School of Design at GSA. Currently three years into a revised iteration, Design Domain is cross-disciplinary in spirit, with an emphasis on working within discipline but pushing boundaries beyond discipline. As a curricular ‘created space’, it supports learners’ agency in exploring their own practice, and to expand on it via research, inspiration, new knowledge, and thinking through making. With the ambition and scale of the project come challenges, and it is useful to critically discuss Design Domain’s identity as a ‘creative space’ with its own pedagogical evolution.
