Course content

In this course the students develop new objects, installations and experiences with contextual relevance for AD's co-location in the new KAMD center. The students build on knowledge and skills acquired in their own study program, and apply principles from the fields of design, art, architecture and technology to develop projects that show the breadth of competencies and perspectives that are represented at the Faculty of Art and Design. The course is designed to provide an interdisciplinary insight into methods, knowledge and craftsmanship from adjacent disciplines. The aim is to generate artistic work that can create coherence and clarity in the multifaceted disciplinary competence that the Faculty of Art and Design represents as a whole, in order to thematize opportunities as well as challenges that lie in AD's common future.
