Required prerequisite knowledge

This is a cross-disciplinary course that’s brings together students from architecture, service and interaction design. It will therefore be open to students with a diverse set of skill and knowledge, however due to the advance and experimental nature of this course students must have completed 2 semesters of Masters education in related disciplines.

Course content

This is an advanced master course directed to students of architecture, interaction and service design. The course will be delivered in partnership with an external partner, Comte Bureau who is a leading actor in developing projects merging these different competences.

The challenges posed by contemporary global culture are far too complex, wide-ranging and interconnected to be solved by one design field alone. Instead they require cross-disciplinary problem solvers from allied disciplines to work together to craft a new way of thinking and working. The goal of this course, therefore, is to enable architecture and design students to work as a team.

In this course students will investigate how people “do” living today (this will be in the specific context of urban Oslo), and design the living of tomorrow, (focusing on one specific target/user group). The course will investigate questions such as: How can housing be design based on people's needs? How can housing be designed to enable a more sustainable living? How can we design housing as a service of living?

Students will explore a cross-disciplinary, user-based working process and methodology. Involving, defining needs of target groups and translating needs into solutions, and finally methodology for testing them. All aspects that influence the way we live, will be taken in consideration, (energy, food, social, technology, economy). The result will be a holistic solution that will integrate spatial design and services.

The goal of the studio is to create a collaborative and cross-disciplinary environment, where students can exchange and learn new ways of working, using service design thinking, social sciences and architecture methods.

Learning outcome

KNOWLEDGE

To develop an understanding of the potential of a reconceptualization of the built space as a service of ‘living’ that delivers ‘value in use’ to its target audience.
A new understanding of the potential for cross disciplinary collaboration between service, interaction design and architecture.
Develop a user centered approach to architecture practice.

SKILLS

Develop and refine the skills of observation, analysis, and creativity that lead to the formulation of relevant and valuable solutions for the user(s) within the context of architectural practice.
Develop new ways of working within an emerging cross disciplinary space to utilize service design thinking, social science and architecture practice.
Develop skills of visualization to communicate user needs and lived experience as well as a projected experience.
Develop skills in planning and delivering large scale, 1:1 prototyping.
Develop collaborative skills to work with designers, architects, users, and different stakeholders that enable a proactive and professional role in cross disciplinary teams of the future.

GENERAL COMPETENCE

Understand the role and value of each discipline (service, interaction and architecture) involved in a future of cross disciplinary development of the built space.
Gain methodical insight by actively participating in a cross disciplinary process.
Promote professional experience in cross disciplinary teams, strengthening the ability to work in teams with an emphasis on results.

Working and learning activities

The main teaching will be based on tutoring sessions in the studio, through workshops, structured presentations and discussions within the course participants.

The course also integrates lectures, studio work (groups and individual), and a main project in collaboration with external partners.

The course has one main project, to develop a full-scale prototype of a living space, planned developed and designed through consultation with a specific target group and through a conceptualization of this space as a ‘service for living’.

Being a practice-driven course, the student’s progression through both projects will be presented by means of:

Group and individual mid-term deliverables and presentations
Workshops
Evidencing material
1:1 scale prototype

Details regarding the calendar, main events, deliverables, and evaluation criteria will be described and detailed at the onset of the course.

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.

Completed 70 123 GK2 Design History 1 or the equivalent.

Course content

The course provides broad knowledge of design and art history in relation to the present. Fundamental questions about what design is and has been will be discussed thoroughly. The course starts with an introduction to topics in art and design history, from ancient times until Romanticism. The focus then shifts to a review of important eras, perspectives, movements and episodes in design history, from the Arts and Crafts movement and the emergence of modern design in the late 1800s, to pop design and postmodernism in the 1980s and 1990s, still with an eye on the world of art. The course concludes with a contemporary review of how design history has developed from the turn of the millennium until today, focusing on the media and information revolution. The course will deal in depth with topics such as fair trade and sustainable design. The course does not aim to be exhaustive, but will focus on a complex set of aesthetic, philosophical and political motivations that have shaped art and design from industrialism until today.

Learning outcome

KNOWLEDGE

After completing the course, the students are expected to have:

Knowledge of the different eras of design history.
An overview of important designers and important iconic objects from the history of art and design.

Required prerequisite knowledge

Passed courses mentioned in prerequisite knowledge or equivalent.

Course content

The course gives students an introduction to the field of interaction design. Interaction design is about designing how we use and experience technology. Interaction designers develop digital products and interfaces, such as mobile apps, games, online services and social media. The field is closely connected to digital developments in society, and is an increasingly important part of the work of designers. The course provides an introduction to digital materials and design methods used to create experiences and expressions through technology. Traditional design materials like wood and plastic are used in the design of interactive products, but also technical materials and tools such as electronics, user data and programming.

The course focuses on products at the intersection between the physical and the digital, and thereby builds on practical and aesthetic skills acquired in previous courses. In addition to providing an introduction to interaction design, the course also addresses the relationship between culture, design, communication and technology. We ask: How can design shape our digital lives? How can design be used to understand and interpret technology creatively, and thereby create good user experiences and aesthetic expressions?

Learning outcome

KNOWLEDGE

The course is intended to give students a basic understanding of the field of interaction design, including terminology, history and discussions.
Students shall be familiar with and be able to consider the possibilities and challenges that interactive technology provides in a broader design context, for example in product and service development.
The course shall give students an insight into the relationship between culture and technology, and discuss how they relate to design.
The students will encounter topics relating to the use of technology in a cultural and social perspective, through discussions of innovation and the user experience, among other things.

SKILLS

The students will be given an insight into materials and technology used in interaction design, focusing on exploration and interpretation through practical projects. The main focus is on giving the students an introduction to and practice in basic interaction design skills.
The students are given an insight into and practice in tools and methods used to design interactions through aesthetic expressions and experiences over time. Through projects and exercises, students will be given an introduction to the practical skills needed to design interactive technologies, including electronics, programming and the interpretation and visualisation of data.

GENERAL COMPETENCE
Projects and workshops provide the students with practice in the skills needed for creative experimentation and testing through different forms of sketches and prototypes. The course will also give students training in communication through different media used to communicate interactive products, such as digital graphics, film and photography.

Working and learning activities

The course takes a practical approach to interaction design and is taught through a series of projects and workshops. Emphasis is placed on providing an overview of interactive possibilities and practical experimentation. The students will be introduced to electronics, computer visualisation, film, photography and web development, among other things. The focus will be on creative experimentation, prototyping and testing, rather than technical in-depth knowledge. The course consists of a large amount of group work, but also individual exercises. The practical parts of the course are complemented by a number of lectures and conversations with designers and specialists in the field.

Workload activity. Throughout the semester, the students will prepare, submit and present a series of projects and exercises. They shall also be documented online. Documentation and presentation requirements apply. The students must present and submit all projects in order to pass the course. The grade is set based on their development, process and results.

Reading list, workshop, excursions and other support: The course will teach the students how to use simple electronics. Necessary electronics kits must be ordered by the individual students. This will be organised at the start of the semester

Oppgaven er et transformasjonsprosjekt, forankret i relevant fagdiskurs. Oppgaven utvikles gjennom analytiske forstudier som skal hjelpe studentene å danne seg et bilde av hvilke strukturelle, landskapsmessige 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 den lokale situasjonen.

Studentene arbeider med by- og stedsutvikling i stor og liten skala, og utvikler strategiske designprosjekter som vil inngå i en større, sammenhengende helhet.

2) FORELESNINGSREKKE: URBANE PRAKSISER

Urbanisme er et sammensatt fagfelt som henter kunnskap fra ulike fagtradisjoner. Forelesningsrekken på i 5 semester adresserer relevante problemstillinger innenfor urbanismefaget i dag. Den gir en introduksjon til det norske plansystemet, og gjør rede for urbanismefagets 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

«Fellesrom - By og landskap» 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 urbanisme. I tilnærmingen til urbanisme er inngår landskapet som en del av det urbane prosjektet og utviklingen av prosjektet.

Studentene skal kunne lese og fortolke urbane landskap og i tillegg artikulere landskapsbaserte beskrivelser av de urbane omgivelsene. De opparbeider seg en kunnskap om urbane fellesrom (commons) gjennom lesning og fortolkning av urbane landskap og i prosjekteringsoppgaven.

Videre skal studentene ha vært med på å utvikle og presentere et komplekst byformingsprosjekt basert på reelle rammer og forankret i et aktuelt byplantema. Hovedfasene omfatter analyser og tolkninger, plan- og 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

Innholdet i kurset, inkl. semesteroppgave, organisering av undervisning og veiledning, og studiereise, koordineres med 60 150 GK5 By og arkitektur.

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. Flere av oppgavene, inkludert hovedoppgaven, 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 kurset 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. Målet med reisen er å gi studentene konkret erfaring med by-, landskaps- og transformasjonsprosjekter av høy kvalitet. Erfaringene skal gi grunnlag for løpende diskusjoner og refleksjoner om aktuelle og relevante problemstillinger om urbane landskap og i urbanisme og byplanlegging.
