The track operates as a conceptual lab that creates a body of work that is original and inquiring.The aim is to expand the boundaries of the field and take an active part in formulating contemporary culture, while emphasizing the connection between the designer and the society in which he/she creates.
Creative research that characterizes the track, strives for the development of independent, experimental and unique work methodologies. It is a research action that engages the students with diverse materials, technologies and work processes and pushes for the creation of new contexts, experiences and narratives. During the studies the students examine the social, cultural and ethical meanings of objects and practices of designing objects. They analyze and critique contemporary culture and offer new ways of thinking based on research findings. They experience critical thinking, studio work, setting up an exhibition, collaborations, smart materials and work with scientists.

Greeting from the Head of the track, Tal Mor sinai
Dear graduates, it's been a pleasure to accompany and observe the development of this site, that allows for the first time a wide examination of your fields of knowledge as creators. The variety of project topics is impressive and represents the direction that the design world is taking in this complex time and age in history. This allows the possibility of design to be a significant tool for change that refers to urgent and complex problems in our society, economy, education and environment. It raises important questions on the role of design in the israeli culture.
