Bestått alle emner i GK1 og GK2. Bestått studiodelen av GK3 og GK4. Gjennomført (dvs. fått godkjent eventuelle arbeidskrav, ha oppfylt eventuelle krav til oppmøte og levert inn besvarelse til vurdering) i øvrige emner GK3 og GK4.

Course content

GK5 By og arkitektur har Osloregionen som studieobjekt. Kurset er todelt, bestående av en prosjekteringsoppgave, med en eller flere flere forstudier, samt en forelesningsserie tematisert direkte til innholdet i de ulike kursmodulene.

Prosjekteringsoppgave: Byutvikling
Forelesningsrekke: Urbane praksiser

INTRODUKSJON TIL BY OG ARKITEKTUR
Studentene introduseres til byen som tema og urbanisme som fagområde i arkitekturen gjennom en oppgave, forelesninger og diskusjoner.

PROSJEKTERINGSOPPGAVE: BYUTVIKLING:
Oppgaven er et større transformasjonsprosjekt i et gitt område, med forankring i aktuelle byutviklingstema og relevant fagdiskurs. Oppgaven utvikles gjennom analytiske forstudier som skal hjelpe gruppene å danne seg et bilde av hvilke strukturelle og arkitektoniske potensialer som kan utvikles, og hvilket konseptuelt rammeverk oppgaven bør baseres på. Prosjektet som utvikles skal manifestere de intensjoner og lesninger studentene definerer i arbeidet med tomten. Målet er å skape et utgangspunkt for et planprosjekt. Forløpet deles opp tematisk og avsluttes med en sluttgjennomgang med ekstern gjestekritiker. Prosjekteringsppgaven er et gruppearbeid.

FORELESNINGSREKKE: URBANE PRAKSISER:
Disiplinen urbanisme/byplanlegging er faglig sett sammensatt og henter kunnskap fra ulike fagtradisjoner. Forelesningsrekken på GK5 adresserer relevante problemstillinger innenfor urbanismefaget i dag, og gjør rede for fagets ulike tilnærminger og betraktningsmåter. Pedagogisk sett gjøres dette gjennom å presentere forskjellige teorier, prosjekter og praksisformer innenfor urbanismefaget. Forelesningene skal så langt det er mulig knyttes direkte opp mot studioundervisningen.

Learning outcome

GK5 skal samlet gi basisopplæring i teori, metode og praksis innenfor urbanisme. Studentene skal etter endt kurs ha tilegnet seg grunnleggende kunnskaper om problemstillinger og arbeidsmåter innenfor urbanismefaget.

Videre skal studentene ha vært med på å utvikle og presentere et komplekst byplanprosjekt med reelle rammer og forankring i et aktuelt byplantema. Hovedfasene vil inneholde byanalyse, plan/prosjektutvikling samt presentasjon.

Endelig skal studentene i studiokurset oppøve evne til å arbeide overlappende i ulike skalaer og å etablere en grunnleggende forståelse av sammenhengen mellom arkitektur, landskap og samfunn.

Working and learning activities

Kurset er basert på prosjekteringsprosesser knyttet til en gitt problemstilling og kontekst. Studentene vil tilnærme seg prosjekteringsoppgaven gjennom analyse og tematiske studier, og basert på dette utarbeide et planprosjekt. Hovedoppgaven og flere av introduksjonsoppgavene vil være gruppearbeid.

Undervisningen vil bestå av forelesninger fra lærerteam og inviterte gjester i tillegg til prosjektveiledning i grupper, workshops, delgjennomganger og avsluttende gjennomgang med eksterne kritikere.

Parallelt med dette kurset følger studentene det forelesningsbaserte kursopplegget 60 151 By- og byplanhistorie. Her introduseres studentene til historisk og teoretisk kontekst og til verktøy og referanser som er relevante for prosjekteringsarbeidet.

Det gjennomføres en studiereise i løpet av semesteret, se semesterplan for datoer. Målet med reisen er å gi studentene konkret erfaring med by og byutviklingsprosjekt av høy kvalitet. Erfaringene skal gi grunnlag for løpende diskusjon og refleksjon om aktuelle og relevante problemstillinger i urbanisme og planlegging.

Bestått studiodelen av GK1 og GK2. Gjennomført (dvs. fått godkjent eventuelle arbeidskrav, ha oppfylt eventuelle krav til oppmøte og levert inn besvarelse til vurdering) i øvrige emner i GK1 og GK2.

Course content

The aim of the course on structures and construction is to offer basic theoretical and practical knowledge of fundamental structural types, how structures behave when subjected to loads, and the relationship between form and the mechanical concepts of strength, stiffness and stability. Moreover, the course illustrates and discusses structural concepts in relation to various architectural works. Furthermore, the course focuses on the similarities and differences between the properties of the different materials and how they are used in actual construction practices. Besides, the most common construction systems for small and larger buildings will be presented and discussed in relation to works of architecture.

Learning outcome

Knowledge and skills The course will contribute to basic knowledge of the design of structures and structural systems, their detailing and construction in the most important structural materials (wood, steel and concrete), as well as train skills to implement such knowledge in actual project design. Moreover will the student develop an ability to reflect on the role of structures in architecture, and to present informed arguments for structural choices in her/his own projects. General competence After having completed the course the student is expected to have an overview of the most relevant structural systems employed in modern Norwegian building tradition.

Working and learning activities

The course consists of a number of weekly, compulsory lectures and compulsory exercises. A practical grip of the theoretical knowledge accumulated should be demonstrated in the design projects. The course is literature based and takes as a prerequisite that the student actively read in addition to following the lectures. The exercises are analytic tools that train the student in recognizing and understand structural aspects in specific works of architecture. Discussions on structures and construction technologies are central topics at project tutoring and reviews. The course is assessed by Pass/Not Passed on the background of presence at lectures (80%), as well as submitted and accepted exercises.

Course content

Det overordnede mål for 2. år er integrasjon av de emnene som utgjør de viktigste elementene i prosjektering av byggverk, gjennom en konseptuell tilnærming til prosjektarbeid. Det blir lagt vekt på forhold mellom idé, rom, konstruksjon, og materialitet. Semestertema for kurset er boligarkitektur. Semesteroppgavenes program tar for seg boligen som grunnleggende typologi der sosiale hensyn, stedstilhørighet og økonomi spiller avgjørende roller. Boligens program studeres med henblikk på fleksibilitet og ulike boformer. Et viktig aspekt ved programmets tilnærming er hvordan generalitet kan sikre langtidsbruk og innby til endring av boform.

Learning outcome

Kunnskap ∙ Kunnskap om grunnleggende konsepter i moderne og samtidig arkitektur ∙ Kunnskap om konstruktive prinsipper og konstruktiv idéer ∙ Kunnskap om kontekstuell tilnærming og tomteanalyser ∙ Kunnskap om klimaskallets arkitektoniske rolle ∙ Kunnskap om materialenes arkitektoniske roller Ferdigheter ∙ prosjeksjonstegninger ∙ manuelle og digitale fremstillingsteknikker ∙ skala modellbygging Generelle ferdigheter ∙ evne til å utvikle konseptuelle hovedgrep ∙ evne til å ta og argumentere for egne valg ∙ evne til realisere hovedgrep gjennom arkitektonisk form, materialer og løsninger

Working and learning activities

Andre år introduserer studenten for integrert arkitekturprosjektering gjennom en estetisk syntese av romlige grep, konstruktive idéer, materialegenskaper og tekniske løsninger. Disse introduseres gjennom forelesninger og bearbeides gjennom kortere hurtigoppgaver, før de blir iverksatt i prosjektarbeid. Prosjektene gjennomgåes i mindre og større grupper gjennom semesteret. Det legges vekt på utvikling av «sidemannskritikk» der studentene fungerer som kritikker for hverandre.

Course content

Drawing on material spanning from extracts from novels, poems, journalism and criticism to art works, films, buildings or exhibitions, the small writing exercises is about pinning down details and fragments in which a wider world of architecture and design might be mirrored. We look at the way in which architecture and design is evoked and depicted within different literary, historical and artistic contexts. The students will learn to zoom in on particular details, and give precise descriptions of spaces, buildings and objects as presented in different media and genres. The writing exercises aims at cultivating genre sensitivity and help the student to identify the way in which architectural form and design appears outside architectural discourse.

Working and learning activities

Every Monday the students will be presented for a text, an image, a film, etc. The assignments might vary a bit from week to week, but normally the student will be asked to hand in a maximum two pages text, to be reviewed by the teacher and presented for the group. The seminar is not based on lectures; rather it revolves around presentations and discussions in the seminar. After having been revised and rewritten, the student will make a selection of all the text handed in during the semster texts, and produce a little book. The final reviews will assess both the quality of the written texts and the book design.

Inga Bostad

Required prerequisite knowledge

There is no admission requirements for the philosophy course. The Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO) has a separate entrance exam, where general admission is presupposed.

Course content

Ex.phil er et obligatorisk innføringskurs i filosofi som skal forberede deg som student på en akademisk kultur og arbeidsform og på vitenskapelige tenke-, og skrivemåter. Kurset skal gi filosofiske perspektiver på grunnleggende spørsmål innenfor vitenskap, etikk og samfunn.Ex.phil. skal bidra til at du både forstår og får evne til å se hvilket akademisk fellesskap du nå er en del av. I tillegg vil du på faglig bakgrunn kunne øve deg på å tenke kritisk og selvstendig rundt faget du er en del av, og din egen rolle som student.

Ex.phil.-studiet er knyttet opp til hovedmålsettingen med undervisningen i førsteklasse, nemlig en oppøving av evnen til helhetlig og kompleks oppgaveløsning, og et omfattende sett av metoder og verktøy for idé- og prosjektutvikling. Dette skal legge grunnlaget for videre studier.

Ex.phil. gir en historisk og systematisk innføring i filosofi- og vitenskapshistorie, og i utvalgte vitenskapsteoretiske, etiske og estetiske temaer og problemstillinger. Du vil som student bli kjent med tenkere fra sentrale epoker i den vestlige kulturen frem til vår egen tid. Emnet tar opp ulike syn på natur, vitenskap, håndverk/kunst, moral, politikk, samfunn, kjønn og teknologi fra både en historisk og systematisk synsvinkel.

Det blir lagt vekt på å vise hvordan den filosofiske tenkingen består av en systematisk refleksjon over fundamentale spørsmål uten endelige svar. Filosofien kan betraktes som en vedvarende diskusjon der det ikke er svarene, men spørsmål og argumentasjon som er det avgjørende. Du skal som student bli i stand til å reflektere over de historiske og begrepsmessige forutsetningene for dominerende tenkemåter i den vestlige kulturen. Slik sett ivaretar ex.phil.-kurset ikke bare viktige sider ved studenters utdanning, men også din danning som framtidig profesjonsutøver

Learning outcome

The outcome of the course consist of knowledge and understanding, skills and competence expected of of students at the ex.phil.-level in Norway. Knowledge / understanding: • Knowledge of key concepts and topics in philosophy, including an understanding of key philosophical positions, the differences between them and the objections against them. • Knowledge of the history of philosophy from antiquity through to modernity, i.e. the main trends in the history of science and key thinkers in the history of philosophy up until today. • Knowledge of the main directions in the 20th century theory of science. • Knowledge of key concepts and principles of ethics (moral philosophy), as well as understanding of different ethical positions, the differences between them and the objections against them. • Knowledge of key concepts, issues and positions in aesthetics, as it is understood in the philosophical tradition as "sensuous cognition", as "philosophy of beauty and taste" and as a reflection on the concepts, institutions and practices of art. Skills: • Students learn to render and execute simple discussions of key issues in philosophy and history of science, epistemology, ethics and aesthetics. • In this way, students develops their ability to read academic texts, so that they are able to perform simple analyzes of argumentation in academic texts. • Students acquire basic skills in academic writing, including how to formulate simple arguments and how an academic text is made up of arguments that take part in a larger reasoning. Expertise: • Through the ex.phil. course, students learn to identify and discuss philosophically relevant issues within their own subject (architecture and design) and other subjects. • Students will also be given a general and basic competence in dealing with academic and theoretical issues in an independent and systematic way.

Working and learning activities

On the overarching plane, the educational program in a systematic way ties toghether "lesson" (lectures), "instruction / action" (exercises) and "reflection" (public discussions). The purpose of this is to build basic skills in academic reading, writing and thinking and to give a more comprehensive understanding of this practice as an integral part of the profession as an architect or a designer. The course is given in the form of weekly lectures, 3-4 hours of instruction a week, and 3-4 seminars/work shops during the semester. For the work shops, the students will asked to prepare small papers. Thus, the students will work in groups, 2-3 hours a week, in which they work on preparatory assignments given by lecturer, preparing the students for the seminars. The preparatory assignments will be integral to the individual paper that each student have to write during the semester.

70 142 GK4 Design Theory 1

Required prerequisite knowledge

Completed course listed under prerequisited knowledge or equivalent.

Course content

The course builds on Design Theory 1 and concerns how knowledge of design is used in research. The course provides a basis for understanding what design research can be today and how it is relevant to design practice.

The course provides a basis for using theoretical and methodological approaches that are relevant to the design discipline today. Interdisciplinary issues are addressed through practical workshops with design practitioners and theorists in order to motivate the students and encourage them to be independent in relation to the diversity of theoretical perspectives. The course underpins and develops a critical approach to the students’ studio practice and their position as designers over and above their practice. The students will develop a critical and nuanced understanding of design through workshops on criticism and communication, ethics and culture.

The course aims to get students to relate to a complex design practice through exercises in ethics and history, aesthetics and method, communication and cooperation. The design discipline is often practised in close cooperation with other disciplines that build on other theories, priorities and principles. The goal of the course is to strengthen design students’ ability to reflect on and communicate their own practice and discipline.

Learning outcome

KNOWLEDGE

• The students shall be able to find information about important underlying topics in the design discipline and important persons, texts, design works and designers relating to these topics.

• A critical approach to the diversity of sources in design and design theory.

SKILLS
• Create an understanding of the students’ own position in the field, and of the underlying principles, systems, attitudes and mechanisms of design.
• The course will strengthen designers’ ability to work with other disciplines and unfamiliar practitioners.
• Use strategies and methods to find out how to design for new situations and unfamiliar practitioners by finding and using relevant research and theory.
• The students shall also be capable of finding references in literature as well as relevant design and designers to form a critical approach to design topics and issues.

• The students shall be capable of formulating good questions and be able to substantiate and justify them based on their own field.

GENERAL COMPETENCE
• The students shall be capable of relating to different points of view in the design discipline and seeing their own professional stance and practice in perspective.

• The students shall – through exercises and discussions – have the ability to become engaged in, articulate and discuss design topics.

• The students shall have acquired a repertoire of methods and strategies they can use to actively gain insight into key discourses and theoretical perspectives relating to design today and in future.
