Tools for Spaces of Display 1

The Tools Course (BK7066 Tools for Spaces of Display 1) focuses on specific skills that contribute to a coherent design project. Students learn how to work within the complex combination of these 'tools'. Various workshops and lectures focus on the position of the designer, the relationship with the city, the design of a space within the field of the exhibition branch, and the analysis of reference projects based on relevant themes. Based on a thorough analysis of the location in the city, the choice is made for the artifact/product and a specific user group. This allows the possibility to explore the full range of related interventions.

During the workshops, specific knowledge of particular use to the design project will be gained from various discrete exercises. Experts will transfer their knowledge in a compact course in which students will be asked to make small studies in order to apply this knowledge directly. Important themes are location, the user and the artefact, quality of the perception of the interior and the materialization and detailing of space itself. We emphasize on the use of scale models as a means of research.
