Abstract / Prototypes / Presentations / Briefs / Blog

 

Liz Filardi is a candidate for the Master of Fine Arts in Design and Technology at Parsons the New School for Design. The MFA DT thesis is officially defined by the Design and Technology core faculty as follows:

The design and technology thesis is maintained, argued and advanced through iterative production of artifacts that serve the human condition. Attempted methodologies, tests and analyses are rigorously documented. Iterative production of artifacts becomes argumentation. As a result, the thesis premise emerges tangibly out of systematically tested, questioned and analyzed artifacts to prove or disprove the proposed premise. Research of historic and current context of the work is a fundamental part of the process. Proposing a unique solution(s) to the use of design and technology as tools to serve the human condition is the fulcrum of thesis in the MFA DT.
