The project will focus on design methodologies for cross cultural experiences in city environments. The project will benefit from supervising tutors in the partnership who are specialists in Graphic Design, Interaction Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Photography and Digital Media
This will be a very exciting inter disciplinary project, allowing discrete specialist practices to be brought forward whilst shaping creative approaches through collaboration with the cross European team.
If you are lucky enough to have a place on MA Graphic Design Communications at Chelsea for 2012-13 then we look forward to working with you on this project soon!

This is an international design challenge project which requires the designers to bring together the most creative and practical uses of communication design and digital technologies for an urban environment application.
We will be sharing the stage with participants from China, Netherlands and France.
The design challenge highlights these important points
*Greater awareness and use of digital technologies, tools, prototyping and open, collaborative methodologies in the design of innovative, sustainable and desirable urban design solutions
*Growth of “organic” understanding and collaboration between designers, resident communities and policy makers; integration of the Cultural and Industries as a critical regenerative force within the community
