Design no longer works in silo within their fixed disciplines. Transdisciplinary practice is a participatory approach to design, inviting different practices, from academia to science and technology, to inform and shape the outcome. This shift enriches and provides a more holistic approach to the process, creating solutions and ideas that are effective and purposeful.
