About the course
How can an interdisciplinary approach to design unlock new creativity and beauty? How can a reflective and critical approach challenge how, what, and why you design? Who are you designing for? How can different design solutions in naturecultures serve as models and inspiration for new designs? And what are the limits of ingenuity and creative design?
This course looks at design from an interdisciplinary, critical, and philosophical perspective, with focus on different theories and models that turns present conventions of design on their head. With inspiration from ecologies and the more-than-human, and in-depth discussion of how cultural, social, and historic conditions define human perceptions of the environment, the course tries to reach practical conclusions on how creative design can contribute to a sustainable and better world. The course combines interactive workshops with inspiring guest lectures.
