Required prerequisite knowledge

Passed foundatin level courses (Bachelor) at AHO or equivalent, 180 ECTS.

The course is open for design and architecture students.

Course content

There is a strong drive in society to change towards a circular economy as this may be the answer to develop a far more sustainable society.

For a business the shift means a completely different approach to how they are using resources and what they offer. They will have to redesign the entire organisation, as well as their product and services. Businesses need to rethink how they do business and become far more creative. For architects and designers, this is a great opportunity and may imply new roles and arenas where they can apply their skillset. In order to tap into this they have to obtain insight into business and innovation culture, methods, processes and language.

This course is for architects and designers that would like to enhance their management skills while learning about business modelling and the circular economy. The key takeout from the course is that it is relevant for those that plan to set up a business themselves as well as those that plan to work on strategic aspects of a business. The course is not a ‘how to’ set up your business but will introduce you to some of the fundamental themes when developing a business, as well as engaging with management. The course has its foundation in design management and is developed to be relevant for both architects and designers.

In this course the students will be introduced to innovation theories related to design management, design thinking, business modelling and the circular economy. The students will solve specific business challenges in teams and apply their skills in business development.

Learning outcome

Knowledge

Understanding of the difference between a traditional business model and a circular business model, as well as challenges and opportunities from a business perspective in the transition to circular economy. General knowledge of design management and design thinking in a strategy business context.

Skills

The students will obtain basic design management skills of how to conduct research to identify business opportunities and apply a design approach in business model innovation. The course emphasis professional conduct and how to engage with a professional client as well as how to plan and present a business model. Basic tools and templates will be introduced.

General Competence

The students will get a basic understanding of commercial thinking in the transition towards a circular economy, as well as key questions to be aware of when developing a strategic business proposition. The course engages with the theories and practices on design management.

Working and learning activities

The course will have a mix of lectures, readings and group work.

During the autumn semester the students will be introduced to one-two businesses that have started to develop sustainable business practices. These will act as clients for the students. By engaging with these businesses, the student will gain an understanding of what a business model is, and the difference between the linear and circular business models. They will also gain an understanding in how to work with a client. In addition, a couple of guest speakers are invited to go deeper into some of the topics raised.

The first part of the course will be about understanding key concepts such as design management, the circular economy, business model and architects/designers role in developing a business proposition. From various workshops with the two clients the students will learn how to identify opportunities and develop them into business propositions.

The course culminates in a one-week practical seminar, where the students will develop a business model in groups for their client. They will make a plan for how to conduct the research needed and, in an iterative process, redesign the whole or part of a business model.

The course will use digital sources such as Miro. It will be mixed with physical workshops and an if relevant, off-campus tour.

Required prerequisite knowledge

The course is open to master students of design and architecture. A mix of students from each discipline will be promoted.

Prerequisite prior knowledge

Completed foundation education (180 ECTS) in design and architecture.

Recommended prior knowledge

The course is focused on giving an introduction to how technologies can be explored as materials and tools for creative processes. Prior experience with, and an interest in technology tools and platforms, is recommended.

Course content

The course has two objectives. Firstly, it aims at informing students of the various tools and techniques involved with technologies that are currently becoming increasingly relevant for design, architecture and urbanism; such as game technologies, mixed reality (AR, VR, etc), machine learning, 3D scanning, sensors, data and creative code. Secondly, it seeks to engage with these technologies and themes in a critical fashion, through open-ended exploration, play and error. The course aims to expose students to emerging technologies, tools and methodologies, and the content of the course will therefore be updated each year. Through these objectives, the course seeks to teach master students at AHO the various possibilities that lay in emerging technologies that are available for design-processes and which might guide their studio work. As such, the course has a theoretical and practical approach to technology. It involves a series of lectures, as well as individual case work among students.

The themes and exercises of the course will cover:

Creative exploration of new or emerging technologies.
Making use of technology in creative processes
Interdisciplinary exploration of technology as materials and tools for creative processes.
Hands-on exercises
Larger in depth project for the final week with an individual project from each student or in a group.

Each year the course will explore a new technological theme or topic. In 2023 the course will focus on games and game-technologies. The course will be led by Nadja Lipsyc, a game-designer working with virtual reality and immersive experiences. The course will look at games and game-technologies and -techniques broadly to uncover what designers and architects can learn from gamedesign.

Teacher: Nadja Lipsyc

Learning outcome

Knowledge

With the completed studies the student will have a broader understanding of how emerging technologies effect design-processes, as well as be able to explore a set of technologies for creative purposes.

Skills

With the completed studies the student will be better equipped in utilizing the latent potentials of emerging technology in the setting of product/interaction, architectural, urban or landscape design.

General competence

The student should be able to explain the choice of methods and technologies for realizing their chosen projects, and why. The student should be able to critically reflect on the role of technology in their creative processes.

Working and learning activities

As with other elective courses the course will consist of weekly learning activities, lectures, material exploration and use of available technology resources. Each course day will focus on a student's project work with new assignments given on a bi-weekly basis.

During the elective course week at the end of the semester, a larger project is to be conducted and presented for the rest of the group. There are several goals for the one-week projects.

Students are expected to work in groups and individually.

Course content

The majority of problem areas relate to systems that comprehend both public administration and the private sector, whether in the form of regulations and guidelines and/or users, suppliers, and other systems. The public and private spheres are becoming increasingly closely related; therefore, it is crucial for designers to have an understanding of the different systems, including how they connect to and influence each other while simultaneously limiting the range of solutions that are available.

In this module, we study various systems and their relationships from a systems-oriented design perspective, while also connecting the examination to strategy work.

Learning outcome

Increased understanding of different systems and dominant logic
Experience with applying various tools to analyse relationships within and between systems
Ability to use systemic thinking as an important basis for strategy development
Competence in employing systems-oriented design as a tool for organisational design

Course content

Modulen består av et sammenhengende tema fordelt på to seminarer: I Seminar I kommer det en rekke eksterne bidragsytere for å snakke om nylig utførte eller pågående plan- og arkitekturprosjekter der vern har en sentral rolle. Fokus ligger på hvordan vern kan håndteres gjennom ulike arkitektoniske strategier, både på overordnet nivå gjennom planer og helt ned til detaljnivå i prosjektering. Dette temaet belyses gjennom ulike faglige perspektiv, fra arkitekter, eiendomsutviklere og kulturminneforvaltere. Det er også lagt inn en ekskursjon i Oslo der vi skal befare relevante eksempler.

Seminar II Intensiverer fokuset på arkitektonisk praksis i møte med vern, samt kulturminneforvaltningens møte med arkitektonisk praksis. Det vies særlig plass til vern i møte med bestemte sektorinteresser, som idrettsanlegg, sosial boligbygging og kulturarenaer.

Learning outcome

Studentene skal bli bedre kjent med viktige arkitektur- og planstrategier som retter seg inn mot vern, og hvordan slike strategier håndteres i praksis av norsk kulturminneforvaltning. Modulen setter også søkelys på aktuelle teorier om strategiske valg og faglige diskusjoner knyttet til kontroversielle eksempler og løsninger. Et særlig anliggende er å skjønne dynamikken mellom ulike aktører i bestemte prosjekter, fra arkitekt og oppdragsgiver til offentlig forvaltning og allmenne interessenter. Gjennom befaringer vil studentene få et konkret møte med nylige avsluttede og pågående kulturminneprosjekter, presentert av ulike aktører ute i feltet. Studentene skal dessuten få prøve ut et annet skriveformat i eksamensoppgaven, nærmere bestemt faglige artikler rettet mot publikasjon i norsk presse. Dette vil kunne gi en annen forståelse av fagstoffet og måten det kan formidles på.

Working and learning activities

Modulen består av seminarer, ekskursjoner, skrivetrening og litteraturstudier.

Seminar I: Forelesninger, ekskursjoner og diskusjoner.

Seminar II: Forelesninger, skrivetrening og diskusjoner.

Eksamensform og bedømmelseskriterier

Eksamensform: Hjemmeeksamen med publiserbar tekst (artikkel eller kronikk) som format

Det vil bli gitt eksamensoppgaver basert på forelesninger, ekskursjoner og pensumlitteratur, samt innholdet i skrivetreningen. Innlevering av eksamen er 9 dager etter avslutningen av siste seminar i modulen. Oppgaven vil bli sensurert innen begynnelsen av neste modul.

Course content

I denne modulen studerer vi mangfoldet av urbaniserte landskap og byforståelsesmodellene som beskriver disse. Det handler om suburbane og periurbane landskap, storbyregioner, småbyer og bygdebyer. Vi tar utgangspunkt i de norske bylandskapene, men ser på disse urbaniserte landskapene som del av en global utvikling. Internasjonal forskning, moderne historie og nye strategier bringes inn. De ulike byformene beskrives som fysiske, sosiale, funksjonelle og meningsfulle. Vi ser på forskning og verktøy for å realisere en mer bærekraftig utvikling i disse bylandskapene.

Learning outcome

Studentene kjenner viktig forskning som beskriver og analyser forskjellige typer urbaniserte landskap inkludert de livsformer og økologiske forhold som karakteriserer landskapene. Studentene kan drøfte variasjonen av urbane omgivelser og trekke inn internasjonal forskning. Studentene evner å anvende denne forståelsen i diskusjon og utvikling av strategier og prosjekter forv en god og bærekraftig utvikling i forskjellige typer bylandskap.
