While many design fields aren’t as regulated as other fields like print and cinema, every designer should still develop their own CODE OF ETHICS to abide by when working with clients. According to the design institute of Australia, ethics is a rational study of the moral dilemmas in human action. A moral code can be either implicit or explicit and can be very subjective; there isn’t always a right or wrong solution. As a result, it is important for you to consider your own stance as a designer…
The image chosen for this essay is “Him” by Maurizio Cattelan. There are two images that shows the sculpture’s back and front.

This is expressed by the boy’s posture and arching of the back. But, the…

Understanding impaired users is an important part of the design process. When designing for the impaired, there are particular physical and social issues that need to be addressed. Viewing the customer as equal in worth to a product, or service, is essential in co-creating value between parties. Designers need to be delivering products that ensure safe practice at all times, due to their loss of confidence, and therefore freedom, from their normal lives. An increasing, more affluent, impaired…
My previous knowledge of what exactly utopia in regard to architecture was, was basically that it made anyone who entered feel like they were entering a paradise or a place that was beyond words and that the design was perfect. I believe that any good architecture should inhabit the four elements in general and not just in attempts to create a utopia in architecture. With this being said, I agree with Colemans four principles however I don’t agree that they…
