Contextual Design Students

Students of the Faculty for Contextual Design at the Design Academy Eindhoven understand design as a form of cultural criticism and as a method for giving meaning to the world. Design plays a key role in our cultural, social, ecological, and technological reality. It creates new connections, transformations, and possibilities for experiencing the world. In this process, the understanding of context is decisive for design in such areas as society, power structures, environmental destruction, and history. The focus of the master’s course Contextual Design is the analysis of different relationships and the active shaping of the context.
