Assignment Brief
Drawing on the work of two designers, critically analyze the role of one of the following themes within contemporary design: sustainability, critical design, vernacular, and identity. Where does their work fit into contemporary design? What do you understand about the theme? Critically assess the work in terms of form, function, materiality, and design context. Reference the cultural/ political/ historical/ ideological milieu within which the designs developed.

You are expected to consult a broad range of academic sources (books, articles) rather than general websites: these are not suitable for essay research and should be avoided. Wikipedia will not be accepted as a source. A minimum of 10 academic sources are required.
