Practice Oriented Systemic Design 2023
We are looking forward to arrange the Practice Oriented Systemic Design course in 2023 for the third time. The international oriented course introduce how to design for and in complex situations based on the combination of systems theory and design practice. The course runs from February 27. to 2. of June 2023, and contains three workshop weeks (where two are available through physical attendance) and additional tutoring days. Application deadline: 15 October
Please see interviews with professors Tore Gulden at Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway and Florent Orsoni at L’École de design Nantes Atlantique, France and students/practitioners who took part in last years course Kristin Horn Bringedal from Oslo Municipality, Namratha Vaidya student at L’École de design Nantes Atlantique, Théo Rousset is a student in Practice Oriented Systemic Design in Nantes, France and written interviews from our alumni students Ingunn Aursnes, strategisk rådgiver i Bouvet, and Sigrid Nafstad, tjenestedesigner i NAV, (in Norwegian).
The course is a collaboration between Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway and L’École de design Nantes Atlantique, France (lecolededesign.com) and Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin - University of Applied Sciences, Germany (htw-berlin.de).
About the course:
The course consists of three joint workshops.
The first workshop will take place at OsloMet, Kjeller campus.
The second workshop will be conducted on a digital platform only, and the third workshop will take place at L’École de design Nantes Atlantique, in Nantes, France.
The physical workshops will be turned into hybrid sessions in case some students will not be able to attend physically. In addition, you will also be offered weekly digital tutoring sessions on Wednesdays (more specific schedule to be determined).
We strongly recommend attending the joint physical workshops, respectively carried out at OsloMet and at one of its partner institutions, in person. This will provide the best learning outcome and study environment. Yet physical attendance is not mandatory, and the students can choose to participate digitally from home instead.
February, week 6
Digital information meeting for students enrolled in the course via the Department of Product Design at OsloMet (not applicable for students from Nantes or Berlin): February 9, 12:00 – 13:30.
