Studioprojekt - Komposition, materialitet och gestaltningens praktik

The course is an intimate study of design where compositions of different materials in form, colour, texture and other characteristics comprise the medium. The design exercises are characterised by high complexity in interface situations between the functions, forms, ages and expressions of different materials. In the composition exercises, both built materials and vegetation are used, where the properties of the respective materials and their immediate impact and respective dynamics over time are exploited. The student will prepare design proposals where the expression and interaction of different materials are the main components. In experimental studies, the frame of reference is extended with understanding of origins and function-related characteristics of different materials. Questions about the materials relations to cost, durability and maintenance are also important.

Information från kursledaren

Welcome to the course!

The course team is happy to join you on this journey with focus on Composition, Materiality and Design practice. Let's investigate together!

A preliminary schedule is now available. It will be updated when the course starts. Don't hesitate if you need any urgent clarification.

The course introduction is at Hyllan, 9.00 the 24th of March.

Please note that we invite you to join on a field study to Stockholm. The trip is individually organized and students finance travel and accommodation themselves (close-to-campus individual fieldwork is an option). If you want to get in touch with other students to make early (=hopfully cheaper) bookings together you can gather on Zoom Wednesday March 12th at 14.00. See link in schedule, week 19.

Also note that there are some late evenings during the second week of the course, because of the Light workshops that we have. The sunset will occur just before 8 pm why we have to wait until it becomes dark at roughly 22 pm (twilight zone between app. 8 pm and app. 22 pm).

We will spend some time at Lernacken, why the course offers accommodation at the camping (Sibbarp First Camp) at two occasions (two separate nights) to avoid travel time and expenses.

See you soon, and as mentioned; don't hesitate to get in touch!

We will explore different perspectives of the concept of *quality* in relation to the course subjects, why students will search for literature related to *quality*. If you want to prepare this, find an own article (or book) that you find intriguing.
