The Public

Brief course description

This course is for all first-year students in the Master of Design programme. Students explore different ways to publicly present a contemporary design work. Using the design project from their Studio 2 course, they are challenged to develop curatorial routines, performances, events and exhibition design models in order to communicate with others about their work processes.

The course’s learning outcomes

Upon completion of the course, the students should be able to

• critically examine, reflect over and explain their own work and that of others and communicate this to specialists and the general public.
• document and communicate with others about their own design work, not only visually and materially, but also orally and in writing.
• have competence sufficient for critically evaluating their own work and that of others.

Teaching and learning methods
