This course is open to students with an interest in how creativity and imagination generate insight and innovation, culminating in individual or group proposals and/or built forms that assert fresh insights and new ways of thinking to the field of cross disciplinary collaboration. To enhance practice this course has a series of reading groups and thematic seminars to explore precedents of creative practice and contemporary ideas.

Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
1. Reflection: document a series of precedents through personal research interests related to the course subject area
2. Exploration: undertake personal research into a specific area of cross disciplinary theory
3. Synthesis: develop to a detailed level a proposal for an art/science collaboration |
Assessment Information
Students will be assessed through a submission that comprises developmental stages of a research proposal for art/science collaboration. The proposal can include works that demonstrate an experimental, speculative and/or theoretical proposition which brings attention to cross disciplinary understanding and its inherent values.
The course will offer a structured approach for development through individual tutorials and group discussion while, given the multidisciplinary make-up of the studio cohort, collaborative group projects are encouraged. The criteria for assessment are aligned with the learning outcomes and course aims.
