How does the built environment shape our contexts and, by extension, our understanding? What potential lies in an interior's design? How does a product instruct a user? When does a building determine action? Students will explore the interconnectedness of large-scale thinking with on-the-ground user experience to explore the complexity of a designer's engagement. In Language Supported Integrative Studio 2, we will research individually and in groups to investigate and document a topic. How many ways are there to explore an idea? Fact-finding often requires investigation through multiple means including fieldwork, experimentation, failure, and creative problem solving. Over fifteen weeks, we will engage with a wide variety of studio-based research methods, both digital and analog. You will pursue one overarching self-generated research question in parallel to the seminar-based research methods you will be learning in Integrative Seminar 2. At various times in the semester, the two classes share concepts and assignments, bringing together reading, writing, and making in a manner that is essential to the creative research of professional artists and designers. Research methodologies will reflect the different schools at Parsons. This Language Supported (LS) course is specially designed for students for whom English is a second language. LS courses have the same content as non-LS courses as well as extra attention to vocabulary, cultural references, and support for reading and writing. Students will engage with the materials in a supportive and dynamic learning environment as they become acclimated to American educational context, culture, and expectations. Parsons LS faculty possess training specific to both the content area and language support focus.

How does fashion speak? What information do we derive from a seemingly simple, yet utterly complex system of material, image, body, history and site within the social and global sphere? Students will engage with such complexities while interrogating new ways to approach topics such as form, beauty and sustainability.

Integrative Studio 2 builds on the exploratory skills introduced in Integrative Studio 1. This time a greater emphasis is placed on research as the tool for forming connections between studio and seminar. In the first half of the semester you will be given quick assignments to introduce a variety of studio based methods for generating questions, integrating research, and documenting discoveries in your art and design work. We focus on embracing failure and trial and error as core elements of the creative process. In the second half of the semester you will define and pursue your own research based project connected to seminar. This section will be framed through the inflection: Creative Strategies What meanings and narratives dominate our world and experiences, and how can designers and artists interrupt established practices and ways of knowing to create a world that is more inclusive and equitable? This course will explore our relationships with space, objects, economies, and communities through art and design. Using research, analysis, and hands-on projects, we will examine the interdependence of the elements that shape our world, and experiment with how creative strategies can be used to enact positive change. In Language Supported Integrative Studio 2, studio and seminar will come together through a series of bridge projects that highlight the components of the research process: inquiry, context, investigation, interpretation, argument, connections and reflection. Bridge projects are the basis of the collaborative relationship of ideas between the two courses. They ask you to engage with making as a form of thinking, and writing as a form of making, in order to explicitly and productively blur the boundaries between studio and seminar.

How are messages embedded in visual culture? How, in turn, are photographs, videos, illustrations, performances, graphic novels, sculptures, technological innovations - and more - used to communicate an idea or position? And what might it mean to make something that doesn't fit into any one category as we know it? Students will explore interdisciplinarity, collaborative making, the productivity of creative failures, and more. How many ways are there to explore an idea?
