Learning outcomes

Artistic interdisciplinary tools and methods, 5th year

Overall goals
1. The course is part of the Basic Design Studio. Through architectural projects, this Studio investigates different experiences of architecture and conceptions of space, in relation to the synthezising design process.

2. The course/project goal is to increase the student's knowledge in this area/field and skills/knowledge in the field of architecture in general. The students will enter the project with varying degrees of knowledge/skills and will subsequently end up at different levels at the end of the course/project.
 3. The individual student must show an increase in the particular skills/knowledge offered in the studio and in the field of architecture in general.

Course goals
The students will study and use different artsitic interdisciplinary tools and methods in order to develop architectural projects for a new Art Center in Sandhamn or Högdalen.

Course main content

Through deeper studies in different contemporary artistic disciplines (film, literature, dance, music, art) and discourses of immediate importance – the foundations of design theory and practise will be questioned and furthered. The students will study and use different artistic interdisciplinary tools and methods in order to develop architectural projects for a new Center for Art in Sandhamn; a beautifully located island in the archipelago some two hours by boat from Stockholm - or in Högdalen; a dynamic suburb 20 minutes south from the city center with many problems but with a big potential. What´s the function and meaning of an Art Space today? Who are running the Art Centers and for what different reasons? Important to discuss is how to relate to the existing nature, buildings and physical context.
