<p>ZOOM-IN ZOOM-OUT Design Research The objective of the course is to experience a personal and creative research process that results from a defined starting point and leads to an innovative formulation of a product / object, event or environment relevant to the researched subject. During the course, we will deal with the construction of a research infrastructure built from a number of interdisciplinary layers - theoretical and practical - derived from the content of the specific topic chosen. We will also experience and examine field activities in relevant environments. All these will constitute a conceptual and informative basis for team work. The analysis of insights and distinctions in a creative and flexible manner will enable the development of original and innovative proposals in the researched field.</p>

Earthquake - Design for extreme scenarios

The Earth symbolizes the foundation of stability, the initial order and existence. Thus, an earthquake symbolizes more than any instability, extremism, upheaval, unexpected, chaos. Extreme scenarios such as earthquakes, floods and tsunamis are thought-provoking, motivating power for taking action, survival. These scenarios tend to sharpen the distinction between necessity and redundancy

The climate change crisis creates an aggravation in the intensity and frequency of extreme scenarios, the circle of affected, displaced populations, who are forced to live and survive in conditions of shortage and uncertainty, is also expanding. The course focuses on design for communities and environments that are about to be affected, for people whose lives are about to turn upside down in an instant while using a crisis to create an opportunity.
