Design Practice 2 - Ideation and Experimentation

The aim for this subject is for the students to continue their work on their own master's projects, based on the approved project description, and research and analysis from DES310 Design practice 1.
Experimentation, creative and active exploration, and idea development are central topics in this subject.

Creative investigation, active exploration and idea development are central for the subject.

Through experimentation, the students will deepen and concretize their project in dialogue with fellow students and supervisors.

The individual student may carry out parts of the necessary skills development at a different educational institution, or through periods of supervised practical training.

Feedback from tutors and fellow students is important in a phase where students make decisions that determine the direction for the realization of the project and draw up a plan for further work.

On completion of the subject the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills, and general competence:

Knowledge:

• Be able to develop a project through a series of different creative experiments
• Extract experiences and conclusions from testing

Skills:

• Ability to use experimental methods in project development
• Be able to document visual idea development in own project

General competence:

• See the value of experimentation in project development work
