Intended learning outcomes
The main objective is for students to develop their inter-disciplinary design skills. After the completed course the student shall be able to
- Articulate the contributions of diverse design disciplines to solving wicked problems,
- Identify different historical and current design approaches to tackling the specific challenge of the studio, and articulate the differences with regard to underlying philosophy and implications,
- Identify and articulate the systems perspective on products/goods
- Integrate, apply and reflect on design track skills in relationship to the challenge area
- Identify which aspects of a design (process) are most worthy of external communication, and implement this in an exhibition setting,
- Demonstrate the ability to identify the personal need for further knowledge and take responsibility for his or her ongoing learning,
- Articulate how their design skills have both deepened and widened, explicitly including in relation to design as a crafts-based approach.
Course content
Students will engage with wicked problem that presents design challenges on the level of systems, services, interactions and tangible objects. Examples of such challenges could be the prevention of food waste or facilitating actual repair of products.
Teaching and working methods
The course will be studio based. Students will work both in teams and individually. The challenge will call for multiple designs, ranging from low-tech tangible objects designed and manufactured in the crafts tradition, to digital services and systems and their touch points. Final results will be jointly exhibited. Supervision and coaching will be done by designers as well as challenge experts.
