Trends & Identity analyzes trends, surveys identities and reflects on lifestyles as well as digital and material cultures. The department trains designers who critically and passionately shape social change. The theoretical examination of design history and cultural studies and sociological theories is just as much a part of the course of studies as the application of ethnographic methods.
