GK1 is an introductory course to the professional studies of architecture at AHO. The course is organized around design projects and constitutes the larger part of the first semester.
The students are divided in two studios, however the teaching is the same for both studios. Students will work individually and in groups. There are three half time teachers in each studio as well as teachers responsible for teaching free hand drawing and computer aided design.
In addition to the design work there will be courses in:
The use of AHO's work shops
Analytical free hand drawing
Digital design and representation

Learning outcome

The course establishes a platform for further studies at AHO.
After the end of the course the student should have :
An understanding of working methods and different approaches towards thinking and communicating within the discipline.
Knowledge of two- and three dimensional visualization in connection to concept development and project presentation.
Experience in written and oral communication of subjects related to the discipline.
Knowledge of the school workshops.
Experience with analytical free hand drawing.
Basic knowledge of the use of computer aided design.

Working and learning activities

Teaching will be mainly in the form of weekly tutoring, pin-ups, lectures, seminars and work shops. The contact between teachers and students happens one on one, in groups or in the presence of the whole studio. Common reviews where the student must present his or her work to the studio for open discussion constitutes an important part of the training.
There will be an excursion abroad common to all students at the beginning of the semester.The course uses Moodle as it's digital learning platform for communication concerning schedule and program.

Course content

Kursets målsetting er å gi grunnkunnskaper om de fundamentale konstruksjonstypene vi benytter i arkitekturen; hvordan konstruksjoner reagerer på belastning, forholdet mellom form og konstruktive begreper som styrke, stivhet og stabilitet, likheter og forskjeller mellom konstruktive egenskaper til ulike materialer. Videre vil kurset gi en oversikt over byggeteknikken i de mest vanlige konstruksjonssystemene i små og store bygninger, samt illustrere og diskutere konstruktive konsepter i anerkjente arkitekturverker.

Learning outcome

Kunnskaper og ferdigheter
Ved gjennomført studium skal studenten; forstå konstruktive systemers formgivning og detaljering, forskjellene mellom ulike materialers respons på belastning og hvilke konsekvenser dette har for konstruksjonsformen, samt anvende denne kunnskapen til å utvikle og fremstille prosjekter. Videre skal studentene kunne reflektere over konstruksjonens betydning for arkitekturen.

Generell kompetanse
Ved gjennomført studium skal studenten; ha fått et overblikk over de mest vanlige konstruktive systemene brukt i moderne norsk byggetradisjon, samt ha innsikt i enkelte mer spesialiserte konstruksjonsmetoder.

Working and learning activities

Kurset består av ca 10 forelesninger, samt obligatoriske øvinger. Praktisk forståelse av stoffet skal vises i prosjektoppgavene.
Kurset er litteraturbasert og forutsetter aktiv lesning parallelt med deltagelse på forelesninger. Øvingene er analytiske verktøy som trener studenten i å gjenkjenne og forstå konstruktive grep i konkrete arkitekturverker. Diskusjoner om konstruksjoner og byggeteknikk som studenten forutsettes å delta aktivt i, vil dessuten være sentrale elementer ved prosjektveiledninger og gjennomgåelser i kurset GK3 Byboligen.

Course content

The Studio for Research and Production of Architecture offers a research-oriented advanced master studio in architectural design. In autumn semester 2014 the guest-professor in the studio will be Japanese architect Go Hasegawa from the practice Go Hasegawa & Associates from Tokyo.
See: www.hsgwg@com
+
The assignment will be to make design for a small private museum for American abstract painter Cy Twombley, based on a sett of criteria chosen from the learning from Norwegian architect Sverre Fehn. In the beginning of the semester the students should make an investigation focusing on Sverre Fehn’s architecture and its evolution through his life- work – an architectural research intended to generate ideas for the individual projects. Precise details about how we do imagine this study will be presented to the students in the beginning of the studio.
Students will chose a real site in Oslo, they believe would be the best for that building. Each student will have a different site. The museum will also have a private space, a house for the owner. The size of the program will be about 1000 m2.
In their projects, the students should think about an urban building, about the relationship between public and private, inside and outside, and between art, architecture and life, with the consideration of Sverre Fehn and Cy Twombley. And in addition, the project will be about the Japanese sense, because it will be developed in the meeting with Go Hasegawa.
Given only these few basic instructions, the students should decide everything else themselves during the design process. The discussion on the further conceptual development of individual projects, programs, sites etc. will start after the introductory research phase of the work. We hope that this short, clear and elementary starting point could generate an inspiring frame for the development of engaging, architecturally strong and poetic projects in the studio

Learning outcome

After finishing the course, the student should:
- be able to develop his/her own clear and consistent working method
- be able to develop principles for structuring of both basic and complex architectural material and develop it through different scales into a final project
- be able to develop and apply the architectural knowledge about the specific project themes chosen to work with during the process
- be able to creatively use the architectural research in the project
- be able to develop and draw precisely own project through different scales, from the conceptual design to its final constructive and material stage.
- be able to present and communicate his/her architectural idea and his/her final project through the appropriate forms of representation, with drawings, models, diagrams, photos, 3Ds, etc.
- benefit from the work with a foreign guest-teacher and from the confrontation with his architectural thinking, knowledge, experience and imagination.
Skills:
After finishing the course, the student should
- be able to formulate the independent and prejudice-less thinking about architecture - its spatial organization, structure and materiality - and its constituent elements
- be able to develop the individual awareness of todays positions in architecture
- be able to achieve the awareness of one's own architectural position and one's own attitude toward the work with architecture
General competance:
The general goal of the Studio is to rethink and reinterpret themes, concepts and tools of architecture through a collaborative project with the guest teacher in the studio. In working with architecture architects work with various tools. Construction, space, program, site, context, form, sustainability, materiality and atmosphere offer just some of them. The choice of ideas, themes and tools and the
way to work with them varies from one architect to another, from one project to another. Sometimes they are more recognizable identities, sometimes less. Developing ones own clear, consistent and creative attitude towards the things one chooses to work with is what studying architecture is all about.
The underlying aims of the teaching in the studio will be:
- to create motivation for the analytical thinking and causal architectural decision making and expression
- to stimulate, cultivate and articulate personal discussions with teachers, as well as open public discourse within the studio, on the base of architectural ideas developed through the projects
+
the idea is to focus on development of the individual working method through the research-based architectural design. In parallel to the main project “another project” would go on: the individual investigation of means and processes necessary for research and production of architecture. By organizing the semester work in a matrix-like structure that combines both the conceptual, analytical and intuition-based approach, the studio would like to disclose the individual potential that usually remains hidden behind the end-result of the project. By pursuing the research within a partly self-defined, partly given framework, we would like to question the preconceived images and norms of traditional design work and to initiate the processes revised by new cognitions, opened to unexpected architectural solutions.

Working and learning activities

The studio-work during the semester will be conducted in 4 steps. The duration of each step will be approximately 1 month.
- the first part of the semester: individual research with open public discussions in the studio
- the second part of the semester: individual work on the project structured in 3 steps in-between the 3 public reviews in the studio
Each step would be discussed both independently, as infiltrated into each other and connected into the main project as a whole. In this way, each of the steps will hopefully leave clear traces onto the final project. Weaving the research in and around the main project would lead students to make visible another story, the story of their own position and understanding of architecture. The short assignments or workshops will be introduced during the work.
+
Our particular interest will be to investigate the relationship between architectural presence, materiality and the concept, starting from an idea of architecture that coherently fuses representation and its internal spatial and tectonic qualities. Therefore, beside the drawings, the projects will be investigated and developed with the help of architectural models in different scale. They will be then photographed to test and represent the anticipated idea of the project. The final project will be presented with text, big-scale drawings and models, photographs, 3D etc.
+
The teaching will consist of the studio-work, the individual discussions and table reviews, public discussions and lectures structured in-between 3 public reviews.
We could imagine the study trip in two parts:
After the first research phase of the work, in the beginning of September we would organize a short 2-days visit to Architecture Biennale in Venice, with the first review conducted in Fehn’s Nordic Pavilion. In the beginning of October we think to have a study trip to visit Cy Twombley Foundation in New York (or alternatively to Houston and Marfa/Texas).
The tools to be used in the studio-work will be:
- texts, drawings and models in different scale, photographs and 3D
- the prepared public discussions and reviews of the individual projects with projections
- the digital- and hand-production of models in different scale will be one of the primary design tools of the studio
- the final project will be presented with the drawings, big models and 3D
Exams and assesment methods:
- the active presence and work on the project in the studio during the whole semester
- in the research part of the semester the assessment will focus on:
1. the architectural sensibility and awareness of the architectural problems,
2. the clarity of argumentation, built-up during the process
- in the project part of the semester the assessment will be based on:
1. the evaluation of the quality of the project idea,
2. the strength of conversion of idea into an architectural project,
3. the evaluation of the artistic, intellectual and architectural capacity to confront the creative risk involved in the project
- the prepared project-material and presence at 3 public reviews
- the delivered complete project for the exhibition AHO Works and for the final review 15 – 18.12. 2014
- the studio-work is evaluated with Passed ‚or Not passed, jf. Regulation for Master Studies at AHO‚ pt. 6-14.

Course content

I dette studioet vil vi anvende ”eksperimentelt vern” som konseptuelt rammeverk i utviklingen av strategier for fremtidig gjenbruk av regjeringskvartalet i Oslo.
Helt siden innvielsen i 1958 har regjeringskvartalet vært et emblem for det norske sosialdemokratiet. I dag symboliserer det en tragisk handling, og bygningenes plass i bybildet er usikkert.

”Eksperimentelt vern” utfordrer ideen om at historiske bygninger er statiske objekter, og prøver å inkorporere deres politiske og sosiale historie i en radikal transformasjonsprosess. I studioet vil vi undersøke hvordan en eksperimentell vernepraksis kan redefinere regjeringskvartalets nåværende status og gi relevante svar på spørsmål om nasjonal identitet og kollektivt minne.

Gjennom studier av selve bygningsstrukturen, og av restaureringsdebatten som har kommet i kjølvannet av terroranslaget, vil studioet avdekke de konstruktive, arkitektoniske, politiske og økonomiske problemstillingene som ligger innebygget i selve traumaet og i de planene som har blitt skissert for området. Studioet vil engasjere seg i den pågående debatten om regjeringskvartalet gjennom meningsutveksling og studentenes egne prosjekter.

I tillegg til å utvikle konkrete og detaljerte arkitekturprosjekter, vil studioet befatte seg med historiske og teknologiske sider av programmet gjennom studier av tekst, film, gjesteforelesninger og diskusjoner.

Studioet kjøres parallelt med et kurs ved Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation i New York, under ledelse av Jorge Otero-Pailos. Studentene derfra skal også arbeide med regjeringskvartalet og vil besøke Oslo i september. Oslo-studioet reiser til New York i en to-ukers periode i begynnelsen av oktober for å studere relevante prosjekter, gjennomføre en felles delgjennomgang og delta på Fitch Colloquium on Preservation.

Learning outcome

Historie:
Studentene vil tilegne seg omfattende kunnskap om regjeringskvartalets historie; prosjekteringsprosess og utforming, byggeprosess, program og bruk, endringer, Erling Viksjø´s samarbeid med kunstnere, terroranslaget etc.

Vernediskusjon:
Studentene vil introduseres til viktige tekster om vern, både for å få en forståelse av bygningsvernets historie og kjennskap til kontemporære, eksperimentelle praksiser, og for å etablere sitt eget ståsted i vernediskusjonen.

Betong:
Studentene vil få inngående kunnskap om regjeringskvartalets betongkonstruksjon; både om den opprinnelige konstruksjonsmetoden og om de tiltak som er nødvendige for å bygge om og til den eksisterende strukturen.

Arkitekturoppgave:
Studentene vil utfordres til å utvikle klare konsepter som grunnlag for sine prosjekter og lære hvordan konseptene kan utvikles til interessante arkitektoniske løsninger.

Presentasjon:
Studentene vil bli oppfordret å prøve ut en rekke ulike presentasjons- og representasjonsteknikker i arbeidet med å realisere sin arkitektoniske idé.

Working and learning activities

Undervisningen vil foregå i form av gjennomganger og korrektur. Det forventes at studentene er aktive deltagere i diskusjoner, stiller opp til alle gjennomganger og holder et akseptabelt nivå på sitt arbeid.

Det vil bli avholdt ukentlige kursmøter, som et forum for gjesteforelesninger, diskusjoner, filmvisninger, tekstframlegg, arkitekturpresentasjoner og annet som er relevant for utviklingen av prosjektene.

Det vil bli avholdt en to ukers ekskursjon til New York der det vil bli gjennomført delgjennomganger og et symposium med tema ”experimetal preservation”.

Working and learning activities

Kurset gjennomføres som et profesjonelt løp, der studentene danner servicedesign firmaer og samarbeider med en eller flere bedriftspartnere. Det arbeides i team gjennom hele semesteret. Studentene forholder seg til bedriftene på en profesjonell måte og projektene kjøres etter et realistisk tempo. Dette gir stor læring i profesjonalitet, samtidig som det gis en god og realistisk innføring i servicedesign. Det er et stort arbeidstempo i prosjektet og studentene må delta aktivt gjennom hele semesteret.
Semesteret deles opp i tre deler:
Del 1: Introduksjon til tjenester og tjenestedesign. Opplæring i fasiliteringsteknikker, introduksjon til AT-ONE prosessen, samt en presentasjon og utdyping av designbriefen som mottas av samarbeidsbedriften.

- To initiate the opening and development of new fields of design.
- To prepare students for further training towards a more academic career in design research.

Knowledge:
Systems thinking provides a foundation for developing a deeper understanding of sustainability, ethics, culture and social understanding communication and technology. These aspects will be discussed in lectures but will also be discussed naturally in the projects. The contents of these discussions will be related to the respective projects and will vary.
Students will gain a general understanding of systems thinking and especially about SOD. They should have knowledge of adaptive expertise and competence in opening new design fields.

Skills
On completing the course, students will have learned the techniques of SOD including GIGA-Mapping, Timeline mapping, Rich Design Space, Zip analysis. They will have training in facilitation and co-design.

Competences
On completing the course, the student will gain understanding in a;

DESIGNERLY APPROACH: Provide the student with knowledge in design thinking and in research by design.

AESTHETICS: Give students an understanding that aesthetics are an integral part of GIGA-Mapping and advanced design thinking. Understanding composition and visual thinking as the designer's key overall approach.

SUSTAINABILITY: Understanding the broader concept of sustainability as a systemic concept

ETHICS: Understanding ethical issues from a systemic approach, in special relation to intended and unintended consequences of design.

CULTURAL AND SOCIAL UNDERSTANDING: Understanding society from a systemic approach. How systems relate and interact with each other and why a holistic approach is needed and how to achieve that.

PROCESS, TOOLS AND METHODS: Make students able to handle an open process where the goal is not a foregone conclusion. Learning the ability to handle the uncertainty that comes from working with great complexity. Learning to recognize the designer's strengths and weaknesses in collaboration with opening up new fields for design. Learning to be both humble and courageous.
Learning the tools, concepts and methods from system-oriented design. Very Fast Learning (VFL) and rich designer (Rich Design Space) taught as concepts to support the handling of complexity. Systemic Design overarching approach and field. System-oriented design specific approach. GIGA-Mapping and timeline mapping, Zip analysis and synthesis techniques.

Interaction Design 1: Tangible Interactions

Emnenavn på Norwegian Bokmål:

Interaksjonsdesign 1: Tangible Interactions

Credits:

Course code:

70 502

Level of study:

Master

Teaching semester:

2014 Autumn

Language of instruction:

English

Required prerequisite knowledge

Passed foundation level. Suitable experience in interaction design for external entrants NOTE: this course is REQUIRED for Master of Design (Interaction) specialism.

Course content

Interaction Design 1 - Tangible Interactions - launches students into the world of interaction design by focusing on core skills and materials used in designing physical and digital interactions.
The course embraces and explores the creative opportunities made possible by recent developments in physical computing, sensor technologies and mobile devices, to consider physical everyday objects (embedded with switches, sensors and microcontrollers) as augmented interfaces for controlling digitally mediated experiences.
We focus on how humans interact with such objects and materials, and how their functionality, meaning and usage can be extended. The course provides students with the possibility to take part in an exploration of new social interaction patterns, to conceptualise and design demonstrators and working prototypes that address a unique set of design problems.
This is a practice-led course, and will also provide students with a broad toolset of skills and techniques relevant across the board in interaction design, starting with a series of short workshops dealing with a range of physical interaction technologies and approaches that lead into larger projects.
The practical aspects of the course will be complemented by a series of lectures and talks by a range of practitioners and specialists in the field. Course tasks will focus on specific areas of application for tangible interaction; in previous years this has included museum exhibits, toys and musical installations.
Most students will then proceed to Interaction Design 2, where the skills learnt here will be applied to information and data analysis and presentation, using other interactive and audiovisual platforms – for example public multitouch screens, ubiquitous and mobile devices.

Learning outcome

Students will
explore connections between interaction design and industrial design
get an overview of research and projects within the field of physical computing and the history of tangible interactions and design; the approaches, issues and challenges faced by designers in the field
Gain an understanding of historical and current technologies and practical applications, including basic electronics and Arduino (www.arduino.cc).
Explore and practice interaction design methodology, embodied interaction, realtime interaction and social computing in a physical context.
Develop a critical framework and approach for the analysis and discussion of work in the field
Understand the possibilities of working with interaction design within specific contexts;
Design interactive objects with a focus on engaging experiences for communication, education and play.
All students will be taught methods and tools to make working physical prototypes, and gain basic practical abilities with electronics. Students will have the opportunity to work with Arduino microcontrollers, smartphone, Processing code and a broad range of sensors for prototyping and design-testing.

Working and learning activities

The course is based upon hands-on learning through doing by experimenting with physical interaction: using sensors and materials, processing data, and creating feedback and responses. The course contains a mix of workshops that will give students an understanding of tangible interactions and the practicalities of electronics, sensors and actuators. The course also contains other major assignments were the students work individually or in pairs and develop their own project along a specific theme or brief.
In workshops, the course encourages experimentation and reflection. Students are encouraged to play with interactive prototypes using both physical materials and digital programming. The goal is to re-evaluate tradition and develop novel, yet natural and appropriate solutions.
Areas covered:
Designing tangible interactions and novel ways of using them.
Using a range of interface technologies.
Using different senses for interaction, like touch or movement.
Incorporating sensors into objects, environments and structures.
Designing systems and devices of appropriate size and ergonomics.
Design methodologies for interaction design and physical computing.
The practical aspects of the course will be complemented by a series of lectures and talks by leading exponents and practitioners in the field, covering a wide range of issues associated with tangible interactions.
