We are asked to work across scales, between disciplines, and beyond expectations. That is the premise for this course.

Inspired by the 1977 Charles and Ray Eames’ film, Powers of Ten, we begin with the idea that scale is no longer merely a function of space, time, and distance, but has expanded to include physical, perceptual, and even performative dimensions that demand a closer look. Today, design is not a single discipline, but a function of multiple perspectives and practices that collectively help us better understand—and ideally address—some of the world’s greatest challenges.
