I'm trying to find out how to get an anthropology degree with a focus on design. My background is in interior design and building inspection technology, spent 5+ years collecting data and analytics on hazard mitigation in regards to structural enforcement of building codes and inspections in construction. My focus is on the environments we surround ourselves with in regards to architecture and how they impact our lives. But I want to find a place to get my degree in anthropology but to keep my focus on the design of architecture. Use the past to design a better future. Any advice? I'm from the state's.
Are you looking at undergraduate or postgraduate study? The Digital Ethnography Research Centre is part of RMIT University www.rmit.edu.au. I recommend you look at the website and contact the relevant course coordinators if you are interested in the degree options that RMIT offers. I hope that answers your question.
For the record (other visitors might be iinterested) -the Boston Architectural College offers a distance-hybrid low-residency Master of Design Studies in Design for Human Health. We do not limit research methods - and many of the DHH faculty are experienced ethnographers who highly value this approach. The MDS-DHH degree values interdisciplinary work that open up new possibilities.
