Passed foundation level coures (BA-level) at AHO or equivalent, 180 ECTS. Open to all programmes at AHO.

Om emnet

The course looks at an expanding overlap between interaction design, architecture and media arts, to explore how the ideas and methods of interaction design can be applied in larger environments and spaces. The course investigates emerging trends in responsive spaces and installations, environments and interactive architecture, focusing on larger scale experiences, using physical spaces as the arena for interaction. These investigations will look beyond the direct point and click‐style interactions to less direct forms.

Interactive Spaces and Environments is aimed at both design and architecture students, working in cross‐disciplinary collaboration, and aims to foster thinking and designing beyond the material object, towards the experimental and performative.

Læringsutbytte

KNOWLEDGE

The students will

  • get an overview of a broad range of existing work and theories in the fields of sensate space, interactive architecture, immersive environments and digital installation art.
  • gain a grounding in basic sensor and interactive technologies and how they can be used to create reactive and interactive experiences.
  • build a theoretical and practical framework for how people will experience such intervention.

SKILLS

The students will

  • be able to use tools and methods for prototyping interaction concepts and problem

GENERAL COMPETANCE

The students will 

  • be able to utilize knowledge and skills (as defined above) in an independent manner in different situations and collaborations, within and across disciplines.
Praktisk organisering og arbeidsmåter

Different workshops and projects to be arranged according to activity plan.During the final project and exam week, it is expected that the students are participating in a bigger group work building an experimental and interactive room/environment. The project needs to be documented with a short, written report. Several smaller modules will be carried out during the course, some individual and some in groups. One of the moduls shall result in a written text. All deliveries throughout the course will be evaluated accordingly.
