Antipodean Design Science: applied home

Antipodean Design Science: applied home

WAITE, Noel

Full Article:

This paper examines the history of design education at the University of Otago, 1911-2011. Design in Home Science was pedagogically radical in New Zealand because it was part of an interdisciplinary applied sciences programme developed for women and centred on the domestic environment. This paper also explains the influence of Design Studies in contributing to a human-centred interdisciplinary applied science at the University of Otago by 2011.
